Best Lightning To 3.5 Mm Headphone Adapter

The story is simple. This is a great buy for a well deserving customer especially as the Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter is a necessity for the longevity of the modernized headphone user anyway, right?

Upgraded my iPhone, needed a 3.5mm/USB-C adapter to replace the lightning ones I had. Works perfectly!

[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.

Did what it is supposed to. Worked great. Turned lightning into 3.5mm.

Got this before realizing there was an adapter that featured the lightning headphone adapter and charging ... but this is useful too!

Wanted a 3.5mm mini jack to lightning converter. Was directed to its location and there it was. Staff were extremely helpful and courteous. B and H is my one and only first stop for anything electronic or photographic that I may need.

Belkin should have made this Headphone splitter adapter from the beginning. It does everything you want. It allows you to use your old 3.5mm headphones, charge your phone while listening to music/talking on phone, allows headphone controls to work, and also allows data passage through for syncing and file transfer. The only thing this doesn't allow is 2 headphones usage (one 3.5mm and one lightning), but Belkin already said that doesn't work on their page and that would be a rarely used option anyways (sharing on a bus or plane?). I'll probably buy another. I have the Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar and now that is wasted now (didn't allow data passage).

I had been looking for a headphone cable for my keyboard for a while. The only ones I could find were 1/4”-3.5mm adapters which usually compromises the stereo sound cutting in and out. This cable from B&H is amazing...10’ long and hard wired jacks on each end. I am totally satisfied and the package came really quick, even during this Covid 19 pandemic. Great job!

Got this to use with Benro X-series Handheld Gimbal as some phones do not have the 3.5mm headphone inlet and qi-charging ... used this and like it better than using cables.

I got this to create an adapter for my AKG K191-DJ headphone, so I could plug them into the Kanex AirBlue I also got from B&H. Thus plug is constructed to pro-level quality, not prosumer where they gouge you, but true pro-quality. ( I know because I have done professional AV production.) Making the cable was easy enough: I could have done it but I have a friend more versed in cable construction. So we got AKG's service manual and gutted an old sony cloth wrapped 3.5mm headphone cable for the other end, cut the cable down to a few inches and made it in no time. (3 solder joints, although very tiny, do not take long.) I am planning to buy another one for a Female version to try out other Bluetooth adapters that have a male 3.5mm plug, since we still have the female end of the 3.5mm sony cable. So, yes I would buy it again and recommend to a friend: top notch product!
