Apple Micro Usb Headphones Jack Adapter

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.

This adapter transforms micro your micro USB cable into a much sturdier than Apple's original Lightning cable. It snaps on tightly, charges and transfers data well, works for both iPhone and iPad.

I have another review that I wrote about this mic, but B&H's website doesn't appear to let me update that review. I've now been using this mic almost daily for over a year. The audio is crisp and clear, background noise is kept to a minimum, and people on the other end of the meeting/phone call give compliments on the detail that this mic captures. I used to use a condenser mic, but that also had the annoying feature of picking up a lot of 60Hz hum. This mic doesn't do that and I didn't have to make any adjustments to the room either. For the person who mentioned they couldn't fit it in a shockmount, it has one internally. That is why the mic is the size that it is. For those complaining about the USB port, mine hasn't had any issues. I accidentally bent the micro usb connector on the cheap cable they shipped with it and the mic survived just fine. The cable, on the other hand, was useless after that. I solved this problem by finding a 90 degree USB adapter so that the connector isn't pointing straight out the back of the mic. It now sits mostly flush and swiveling the mic is more likely to cause the adapter to disconnect at the other end. If your laptop, like mine, is usb-c only, don't try to buy long usb-c to usb-c cables. They are crazy expensive. Instead, try to buy a usb-c to mini or micro usb-b cable. They are much cheaper. My setup is usb-c to micro usb (10 feet), then an adapter from micro-usb to usb-c (1 inch), and then finally a short usb-c to 90 degree micro-usb adapter (6 inches).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice headphones.they have great sound.great bass and midrange and treble.they have the usb c plug for newer phones.my old phone has the 3.5 earplug jack but when i plugged it in the usb c jack it worked great.tangle free cord is great.and it has the volume skip eq little buttons built into cord.only complaint is it should hace come with little carry case

So yes. First off this thing cleans up your audio from external mics very well. I've tried this on my motorcycle with the gain set to -10db and it turned out very clear (I am still editing that video). It fits nice and tight onto the side of your Action 3/4. Something to note....you WILL need to remove your usb-c access door to use this. Lucky for you, it removes easily by design and yessss it fits Into your camera while your camera is still in a cage. Another thing is you CAN use the usb-c port to charge your camera while still using the 3.5mm jack to plug a mic into while recording. - The 3.5mm jack is a TRS port so your mic has to have 2 lines on the 3.5mm end (not 3) in order to work with this adapter. - You cannot use the usb-c port of this mic adapter with a usb-c microphone as that mic will not work. If you have a usb-c microphone, plug it directly into the camera to use it. - the usb-c port of this adapter can be used to transfer files from the camera to your phone/laptop/tablet or PC or charge the camera ONLY.

It works. Dongle design is the better than straight adapter which may put strain on USB input jack on laptop.

Since I didn't need the analog jack, I was hopeful that I could use a standard USB C to RJ45 adapter but it wasn't compatible. So, it is expensive but it works. I wish the Era series had retained the RJ45 jack because I wire them wherever possible.

This is essentially the same cable apple includes with an iPhone and iPad. If you're going to use it to charge and iPhone or iPad, make sure you have a USB adapter you can plug into an outlet. It's MFI certified which is certification for compatibility with Apple products. The cable is a little less flexible than Apple's cable. This might be due to a thicker and sturdier outer jacket which would make this cable a little more durable than the Apple cable.

The product is great but please note in order for the adapters to work, they must be hooked to the Apple 12W USB Power Adapter (i.e., iPads &/or similar for laptops). Choose a plug from the World Travel Adapter Kit. The International plug goes into the foreign wall but you will see it has no connecting area for the US end. Take the 12W Apple USB adapter and pull it apart at the corner. You will find a hidden area that now allows you to slid your International plug adapters backside into the 12W USB adapter. Thus creating a male/female electrical connecting area. Took 2 hours on the phone with Apple for them to find this answer as it is not in the booklet nor on any web page. Apple called a local store to finally get the answer.

With a Micro SD card and an FM radio this device blows Apple away. The headphones will need to be swapped out with ones by Skullcandy or Klipsch if you want the 20-20K response. The drag and drop operation for filling it with music and books could not be simpler. The right product at a fair price.
