Fragile, easy broken

I’m sick off buying these adapters to be honest, I’ve been through 3 off them in 2 months! All I do is use it daily for my headphones off choice I’ve never mistreated the adapters they are generally just made to not last! All I do is put my phone in my pocket and the adapter just hangs there with a slight bend... I don’t even really understand how they break because when buying a replacement the bloody thing is packaged with a BEND! Apple really need to fix these stupid things. But then again I doubt they will because they know exactly what they are doing making them to break easily so people either go out and buy a replacement adapter or go wireless with there headphones. Why even take the headphone jack away from the IPhones in the first place there is still so many people who use it. 😫Read full review...

Poor quality

I bought this after deciding that the official apple product would surely be the best to use with my Apple phone. Well after 3 days I was buying a different brand at 3x the price. The problem was I dropped the cable onto a carpeted floor, this caused the left earpiece to stop working. I thought it may have been the earphones but no, it was the adapter cable. Then a day later the cable gave up the ghost completely and no sound was produced. Another issue was that I had to ‘ connect ‘ to my earphones even though they’re not wireless. There was also a lot of background noise whist using the cable and the sound quality was very poor. If you’re thinking of buying this then I’d re-consider and buy a different brand. I went with ugreen; no background noise or ‘ connecting’ to the earphones, very robust build quality and really good sound, it actually makes the music sound better. So, don’t bother with the Apple product, you’ll only be disappointed.Read full review...

Not that genuine

Whilst this product may be genuine, I dispute that. It doesn’t work with IRig. I wanted one for recording via my phone. I tried the item on a new iPhone SE and iPhone 7 but with no success. In the end I purchased one from Apple direct for £9.00 and it works perfectly. If you are going to need the adapter for recording.........Read full review...

Brilliant

This item is brilliant. I’ve used others, but they don’t do the job, some don’t work with external microphone, this one does, some don’t specify whether they’re TRRS or not this one is. It’s well Worth spending that little bit more to get the right one.👍😎Read full review...

ASSESSMENT OF ADAPTOR

Neat and useful device to enable connection if your favourite headphones, with a 3.5mm stereo jack-plug to iPhone 7 Plus lightning connector at the base of the phone. Works well with my Roland RH50 High Definition and BOSE Headphones.
Keeps the original frequencies intact.
I would have liked to have seen a better quality interconnecting cable between the connectors to improve its longer activity (the cable is NOT marked) and perhaps slightly longer but it does the job well.

WATERPROOFING 4 IPHONE 7 UPWARDS ? YOU NEED IT, AND NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT !!!

Just one more thing to go wrong, but it you need it if you have an iPhone 7 or higher? In saying that the old Jack-Plug cannot be made waterproof, so its not just Apple just creating extra accessories to make even more money. Just plug it to the end of your old ear-phones and leave it there (Simpes!)Read full review...

Authentic adapter A* Quality

Genuine product, so much better than the knock offs in the market - its better to buy the original one rather than to spend several times on a crappy one that only has a life span of 1-2 months

A must have, if you didn't get one with your Apple device.

The standard solution for transforming your existing 3.5mm stereo plug earphones, plugs or headphones to an Apple lightning connection.

What is surprising is that it works with earlier devices, i.e. iPhone 5 which has a 3.5mm socket.Read full review...

Dont believe these to be a Genuine Apple product

I bought one previously from Argos that works perfectly but decided I needed a few more to stop me forgetting to lift my earphones for my phone. The two I bought from E-bay are slight different to the Argos design in terms of the thickness and length of Cable which tells me they are not the same product although they have the same product number on them. They work where you can listen to music on the iPhone XS however when the connection is moving there is interference in the sound and you cannot skip, pause music or answer the phone.Read full review...

Not impressed.....

My initial thoughts were to purchase a genuine Apple lightning to 3.5mm adapter was to ensure I was able to make and receive calls using a wired headset. Unfortunately that was not to be the case - all the adapter allows me to do is listen to media. I cannot control playback, volume etc using the headset controls - so yes I am disappointed! In hindsight I could have spent a lot less for the same functionality...☹️Read full review...
