Iphone Lightning Headphone Dongle

[Light Beige] Great for iPhone and iPad. I wish it had a headphone output.

[0.13 lb] Plug and play. Great for iPhone with lightning adapter for the headset.

[Yes] This comes as a two part device. It is a very good sounding TRS plug-in-power mic, and an inexpensive USB audio dongle with an input and a headphone output. It is NOT a TRRS device (which I think it said it was somewhere), and a trrs is only generally used for something with both a headphone and a mic. The mic sounds very good, any self noise well below the living room background noise, good sensitivity. I used it with a handheld recorder which supplies about 2.5 volts, which is required by this condenser mic. I suspect that the ring on the TRS plug is not connected to anything, just there to avoid contact with something that could cause a problem. On this windows 7 computer, the USB device did not work, and I was not going to use it anyway, so I am only reporting on the microphone. I did not troubleshoot the USB dongle, could have been a reboot or something would fix it. I suspect previous reviewer (Karen) had either a defective device, or misunderstood how to use it, or had the same trouble I had with the USB part.

[USB Type-C] This thing is microscopic. I bought another USB-C dongle with separate mic and headphone jacks. It is bulkier and definitely has limited frequency response though the headphone jack. This, on the other hand, is as small as it could possibly be, and produces flawless audio with no hiss. That's impressive, given that this obviously isn't an exotic digital-to-analog chip set, and the device is so inexpensive.

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

[White] We still have one lightning iPhone that won't die, so a couple of these long cords are a big help!

[0.055 lb] I have only used the intervalometer and lightning features using my iPhone 6 and on my Sony RX10 III and Sony A7 II and got outstanding results. The options with in each mode are numerous and a little experimentation is helpful. But that is what I like to do, is play around with it. I used the intervalometer to record 2500 photos, 1/sec. to do a movie of clouds over Pikes Peak, using PowerDirector 14 and got very good results. I also set it up in my living room during a thunderstorm and set the timer for 1 hour. Had to experiment a little on exposure and sensitivity of the Pluto trigger, and I ended up with spectacular results. It even took daylight photos of lightning! I can't wait to experiment with Startrails, motion detection (using the provided laser), sound detection, and vibration detection. Popping balloons should be fun, there are a number of high speed photography applications. According to the FAQ in the Pluto app, the sound and light modes have a response time of 1ms. Lightning response time is 0.2 sec, and in Laser mode, tens of micro-seconds. You can download the app for IOS and Android and peruse the manual to see just how powerful and flexible this small gadget is. It also answers many questions I've seen posted. You don't need to own the trigger in order to download it. A very helpful feature is that, although a bluetooth connection is used between phone and the Pluto Trigger, for intervalometer work you can walk away with your phone and let the camera do it's work. This doesn't apply, however to Smart Sensor modes, which use the sensors in your phone in order to work. I happen to have an old iPhone 5 that I can leave by my camera, if need be. I would certainly recommend this to anyone who loves to play with and experiment with their camera.

[End Address] I got this to use the Merlin App on my iPhone (it identifies a bird by hearing it sing). This cuts out the road noise and birds behind me, because it is directional. I think I will get a Lightning female to male cord to give it some reach, as I am a bit concerned that the tiny Lightning connector is at risk of damage.

[Yes] I ordered this to livestream yoga classes, I had originally purchased the receiver with the lightning for iPhone so I was happy to be able to use this with my original saramonic blink transmitters and lav mic. It worked great after pairing it and the sounds is incredible when going live on my computer.
