Apple Headphones W 3 1 2 Mm Jack

These new V.3 pouches are even better than the V.2. The rain covers are designed much better!

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.

Verbatim brand is always durable and dependable. Some dvd brands are just like 1% or 2% bad among 100's.

Great for converting from headphones to XLR jack.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full disclosure: I was sent this product to review it. Honestly, it works great for its intended purpose. I was able to charge my phone and connect Lightning headphones at the same time. I didn't notice any difference in sound quality between plugging the headphones into this product or plugging them straight into my iPhone. They also work perfectly with the 3.5 mm to Lightning adapter provided by Apple with my phone. The RockStar feels sturdy and uses Apple's signature look well. If it weren't for the Belkin logo on the Lightning plug, this could easily have been mistaken for something made by Apple. It also couldn't be simpler to use. Plug it into the iPhone and plug your headphones and power cord into either available port. There are only two things I could think of to make this product better. First would have been to have one port be a 3.5 mm jack. I only have the one pair of lightning headphones Apple provided and the adapter. I have a pile of old headphones though. My second thought would have been, if you have two Lightning ports on the adapter, let it be used to plug in two sets of headphones to act as a splitter. This may be a limitation set by Apple and not the product itself, but it would add a level of use to the RockStar. If you use Lightning headphones or 3.5 mm headphones with a Lightning adapter, this is a great product to be able to listen to music while you charge your phone. Personally, I use Bluetooth about 99.9% of the time, but I'm glad I have this product for those times I can't.

Youd think for the price this would have some flaws. At f.1/4 its pretty sharp at f.2 its razor sharp. I did not look at the outer edges of the frames as Im concerned with my subject. Good buy for the price.

I had no complaints with v.1 but I can notice a (very small) improvement in the finish of v.2. It’s now less rugged which makes the image a little less “blurry”

3 items that do the job.

I'm using this adapter to get an RCA stereo auxiliary input to plug into my car stereo, which has a 3.5 mm stereo jack. This works exactly as it should. The RCA female plugs fit nice and tight, so I don't have to worry about the connection loosening over time. Great value for the price.

Comes with everything you need in a shotgun mic. Wasn't sure if it would attach to my 1.8mm mini jack on my canon t3i, but it came with the adapter cable. Some of the components are fairly cheaply made (wind muff, case), but the price is awesome for the fact that everything is there. Plenty of foam inside the case to keep it all safe, even a little slot for a spare AA battery. I'll be able to easily wire this on to my DSLR or boom pole with little effort.
