Apple Wired Headphones Adapter

Replaces my Lightning adapter for my older iPhone to my even older wired earbuds.....until Apple changes its ports AGAIN.

Although pricey, these headphones exude quality. They work seamlessly with the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, MacBook, and iPad), and sound great streaming Apple's lossless music files in iTunes or Apple Music. Make no mistake, these do not have the sound quality of high end wired cans, but if you want to lose the wires and have mobility they are very good as plenty of musical nuances can be detected that you won't hear in other bluetooth, and lower end wired headphones. The stereo separation is excellent. Of course, there are some negatives. The high quality construction makes for a heavy set of cans, Apple, stupidly did not include a charger, and the included case is laughable. Some reviewers have complained of problems with condensation and clamping pressure on the ears. Personally, I have listened to these for hours at a time and have not experienced these problems.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Listen to music alot on my Iphone using wired headphones, so charging was always a issue. Wanted to try this Adapter and it works great. Super easy to connect. Just take the lighting cord and put it in your phone port. Easy to charge and put wired headphones together. Great product, little white adapter box is a bit big, but that's not much a problem. Fits easy in my bag for when I need to go somewhere. Overall very easy product to use, even a child can use it! Happy with the adapter.

So much better than the Apple wired keyboard I had before.

Still like my wired headphones

[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.

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.

I use it to connect my wired headphones to my new iPhone. Works great!

They turned my wired headphones into wireless and work great.

If you don't have wireless headphones yet, you will need this to use wired headphones with your ipad. Works fine.
