Apple Wired Headphones Lightning To 3.5Mm

[0.045 lb] Does what it says AND WORKS with the MICrophone of a WIRED set of apple earpods (lightning, obv).

[0.1 lb] [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.

[Tube Sleeve] 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.

[160 ohms] Excellent Lightning adapter for headphones; outrageously fair price!

[1.5 Hours] One of the best wireless headphones. I've got the apple EarPods and these are way better.

[0.11 lb] They turned my wired headphones into wireless and work great.

[0.06 lb] If you have mic'd headphones, then this TRRS is useful for monitoring and recording on a lightning input iPhone.

[5.4 x 3 x 0.1"] A good adapter for transitioning from Apple lightning to USB-C devices. Although a little pricey.

[Yes] My Apple USB-A lightning charger works as it was designed. It would be great if it was also made in multiple colors such as the standard black color for technology peripherals, or the sky blue color of my iPhone XR.

[0.045 lb] If you have an Apple Lightning to USB 3.0 Type-A Camera Adapter you can connect this device into the USB Type-A slot, then connect a 3.5mm audio cable from a microphone (such as the Sennheiser EW G4 wireless lavalier system) to pipe the external microphone's audio directly into your iPhone. Excellent for the convenience of having good quality audio for your iPhone interviews or vlogging. I was skeptical that this setup would work, but it certainly does work. I'd recommend this device if you're trying to do something like what I described. Should work well with laptops too, but I haven't tried that.
