Usb C Adapter For Lightning Headphones

Excellent Lightning adapter for headphones; outrageously fair price!

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

[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.

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.

One of the purposes for this adapter was to connect a USB mouse to my iPad through the lightning connector. Initially, I bought a knock off from Amazon and it wouldn’t work at all until I started doing something manipulating the connectors, particularly the USB connector, and even at that when I got that working And the mouse was mostly working, I couldn’t get the iPad to charge through the device unless I did some more manipulating of the power input connector and the lightning connector going into the iPad. Needless to say, it was hit or miss when I was trying to use it. However, when I got the real Apple adapter, I plugged it in first time worked and I haven’t had any kind of problem with it. Even the mouse works much better response much better with the iPad. So it’s not worth trying to save a few bucks, get the real thing from folks that you know you can trust, B&H Photo.

This is an adapter, NOT a cable. That said, as an adapter it does it's job well. I have used it to plug my iPhone (Lightning) into my PC (both USB-C and USB-A) to transfer files and it worked without a hitch. Useful as an adapter, but not long enough to be called a cable by any means.

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

I also ordered Apple Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader, which allows me to put an SD card from point and shoot Canon, Kodak, and Panasonic cameras in so I can import photos easily onto my iPad. Apple Lightning to USB 3.0 Type-A Camera Adapter allows me to add small Thumbdrives / Flashdrives to add storage. In truth the Apple Lightning to USB 3.0 Type-A Camera Adapter is currently unnecessary for me, as I just deleted whatever I don't need on the iPad. There is enough native storage for basic Apps, editing, and writing!!

Excellent and Convenient Lightning HDMI Adapter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This CONNECT USB-C Audio + Charge Adapter is a great idea. Before using this charger adapter, I was unable to charge my phone and use my favorite headphones at the same time. This fixed that problem. I can now use the headphones I love and not have to worry about battery level. It is a quality product with the usb-c ports clearly marked for charging and headphones.
