Apple Headphones Adapter For Laptop

[15.2 in] [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.

[20 Hz to 20 kHz] One of the best wireless headphones. I've got the apple EarPods and these are way better.

Worked perfectly from the get-go and was way less than the Apple version of this adapter.

[Intel HD] Worked perfectly from the get-go and was way less than the Apple version of this adapter.

[7 x 4.3 x 1.8"] Excellent quality headphones. Way better than Apple headphones and costs significantly less,

[5.035 lb] This cable adapter is enabling me to use my old wire headphones.

[Zipper] I like my Belkin bag for my laptop Apple MacBook Air just fit.

[1 User] 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.

[0.04 lb] Works, at great savings compared to Apple priced adapter.

[USB-A Female] It's a well-made adapter and it works. Always a bit pricy as per Apple products.
