Wireless Apple Carplay Dongle

Works fine at half the price of Apple's dongle.

Works fine at half the price of Apple's dongle

This cable fixed my CarPlay issues. I have a 2019 Ford F450 and with the Apple cable + USB-C adapter (Apple doesn’t sell a USB-A to USB-C cable) I was constantly getting disconnected from my CarPlay receiver. I haven’t had a single disconnect with this cable. A real life-saver!

Does exactly what you’d expect it to do. Dongle dongle y’all.

You know.... I don't really mind that apple got rid of the 3.5mm Jack in favor of wireless, and then completely stopped shipping the adapter dongle with devices But I wish they would figure out how to make the Bluetooth work properly with certain devices, like if you play a video while connected to my Vehicle radio the audio is not synced to the video, I understand this is the vehicles fault but to not even have a setting to correct for that is ridiculous. Direct connections fix this and the belkin usb-c to 3.5mm cable is a far superior and durable solution than apple's easily worn out or damaged dongle

Bought the headset about a month ago, needed a replacement for my JBL Quantum 200's. Overall the product is top tier, the sound quality is crisp, clean, and (often times) very loud. Pros: - Long battery life (while wireless), in my experience it gets a solid 30-32 hours whilst connected to the included dongle, and right around 43 hours with Bluetooth only. The headset can be connected via Bluetooth AND the dongle at the same time. Note; I do have the RGB function disabled on my headset, which extends the battery life by a *ton*. - Good range on the wireless connection, both Bluetooth and dongle. - Capability to be wired with USB-C (console), or 3.5mm jack going into a headphone/mic splitter (PC) - Amazing mic quality *while connect via wires*. Honestly the mic's balance and quality is on par with some dedicated desk/boom mic's that I've had in the past. - Very comfy fit, I can easily wear them for 5-6 hours straight with no issues. Very little wiggle on my head, even when vigorously shaking or bobbing my head. - Active noise cancelling is so good that it's almost disorienting. Being able to hear most of the environment around you just vanish really is a harrowing and alien experience after never having used it before. The noise cancelling is togglable from a button on the left earphone. There is also a Talk through function, for when you need to hear everything around you or carry on a conversation. - Audio has next to zero delay whilst wireless. I've played quite a few CS:GO and Valorant games, relying almost entirely upon audio cues/footsteps. Not once did I notice any delay that ever affected gameplay. Con(s): - Uhm... Mic quality whilst wireless decreases substantially? Less of a con, more of a side effect to ANY wireless connection. Over all; If I could give this headset a 6/5 stars, I would. It really is one of the most versatile pieces of tech that I own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Apple products and dongle life aside, this Belkin dongle makes things a lot easier in connecting the slew of devices that I have left over from my pre usb c life. The dongle works well - I didn’t have any apple comparability issues.

This is a typical Apple dongle which does what it’s supposed to, namely connect my Apple optical drive to my new MacBook Pro. As is everything made by Apple, cheaper adapters can be had, more so now that USB C is becoming increasingly common in non-Apple brand equipment.

Works many thousand times better than any third party dongle. Trust me folks, get the Apple dongle, it'll always work and not have static/noise. Pay the extra 3-5 bucks for this thing.

The TS3+ is my port (ha) in the storm that has been Apple’s “Dongle Lifestyle” since 2017. It works reliably with all my USB devices, network, DP monitors, and DVI display (using TB-to-DVI cable) under macOS, and I’ve yet to run into an issue with it in Windows. I’ve had one for work since ‘18 and when making a recent personal laptop purchase, I looked into other possibilities, but this won the day. (Note that it’s not terribly portable, as its power supply can be charitably described as “enormous”. For portability, I went with its smaller sibling, CalDigit’s “SOHO Dock”.)
