Apple Headphones Jack Change

First off, let me say I'm still not pleased with Apple for removing the 1/8 jack for headphones, but I understand why they did it to have better enclosed housing for the newer gen phones. With that being said, I've used 3rd party knock-offs of this adapter and to put it politely, they are s#@t. Just pay what Apple wants for this adapter and save yourself a lot of headache down the road, even tho it really is overly priced.

Great for converting from headphones to XLR jack.

One of the best wireless headphones. I've got the apple EarPods and these are way better.

This really is the only option to Apple removing the headphone jack and giving the user a way to charge and listen at the same time. Dongle-he$$ but what can you do. Works as advertised.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was not happy when Apple got rid of the headphone jack, and held on to my old iPhone as long as I could. Eventually, I wanted to update my phone to a newer version, which meant losing the headphone jack. That means I had to choose between charging or music, but this little piece of technology has fixed that! Now I can charge my phone and play music through my aux at the same time. It works flawlessly!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ever since Apple removed the headphone jack from the iPhone it’s been a challenge to listen and charge my phone. This allow me to do both, charge and use my headphones.

My headphone jack was broken on my admittedly old laptop. This enabled me to still use headphones for a small cost, and not replace the whole computer. I can also confirm that it works via a USB hub.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everyone knows the problem with having one jack on the iPhone -- can't listen to wired headphones and charge the phone at the same time. There is a nice solution to that problem in the form of a simple splitter that allows charging and listening. Works really well, although you cannot use it to split into two headphones. Simple and elegant, just what is needed.

I shoot video on a Canon 5D mark IV which does not have a very powerful preamp for the headphone jack. I was using a 25 year old pair of Sony headphones and could barely hear anything with the headphone volume cranked all the way up. I bought these after using a pair that belonged to a colleague. They do a great job of boosting the weak signal coming out of the camera. I also use them while editing video, plugged directly into the headphone jack of my iMac. I notice too with the iMac that I can keep the system volume much lower than I did with other headphones. I am not an audio professional, but these sound great to me and are what I would expect in this price range. My ears probably couldn't discern between these and a pair costing three or four hundred dollars. They are very comfortable. Another big selling point for me was the three different interchangeable cables that are included. The coiled phone cord type cable is great for location shooting, allowing you freedom to move around the camera without fear of tripping over or snagging a long cord. The other two cables give you options for studio use depending on how close you can sit to your equipment. It's also good knowing that a cable can be replaced if it is ever damaged.

I am 20yo and an aspiring sound producer. I listen to a vast amount of music and just about everything I can find to play on these headphones. From usage in my studio projects to simple leisurely activities (games, music) these headphones are very strong assets. There is excellent outside noise rejection and cancellation once you start playing something. You'd have to wave your hands or cause a tremor in the room to let me know you're trying to get my attention. These headphones are powerful and comfortable, and I love to use them for absolutely everything I am able to use headphones to listen to. It even came with a handy PreSonus draw-sack, although the drawstrings quickly broke within a month or less of day-to-day usage. The only drawbacks for me were: (1.) the result of an accident that occurred where the headphones were plugged into a laptop and the laptop got knocked over onto the side of the audio jack, bending into and ruining my laptop's audio jack input, as well as the headphone's jack. The fall was less than two feet off the ground yet the impact was large enough to cause such damage. (2.) The cord is way too long for my style of usage when not in my studio. I find myself having to coil the string up in my pocket whenever I'm mobile. However, that's clearly not the type of usage it was intended for when it was made. Personal mishaps and usage habits aside, these headphones are awesome, and are an excellent buy for the asking price.
