Apple Lightning Headphones And Charger

This Apple adaptor works great for connecting my old-style Apple headphones to my new lightning connection iPhone. I also got this to connect a lavalier microphone receiver to my iPhone as suggested by a B&H advisor and it works like a charm!

[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.

My Apple USB-A lightning charger works as it was designed. It would be great if it was also made in multiple colors such as the standard black color for technology peripherals, or the sky blue color of my iPhone XR.

Excellent Lightning adapter for headphones; outrageously fair price!

If you have mic'd headphones, then this TRRS is useful for monitoring and recording on a lightning input iPhone.

Using the 6 foot cable to power my lightning charger on my nightstand. Excellent cable.

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

Original charger from apple but minor value

Love being able to charge all my Apple devices with one charger.

A good adapter for transitioning from Apple lightning to USB-C devices. Although a little pricey.
