Disposable at best...Apr 06, 2011
By N. Fischer
"Erevan"
I've had this adapter for about a year. I bought it for use with my JVC 'shrooms and the iPhone 4. This was meant to be a temporary fix until something of better quality came out. Sad to say, but there still isn't anything better after an e n t i r e year. I think it's safe to say that Apple or China is inhibiting the mic adapter market for iDevices. But I digress politically...
In the beginning of my experience, the adapter was a great fix for a harsh vacancy. One who loves music must surely spit when apples earbuds are mentioned. The voice quality was crisp and I didn't detect any loss of quality for music. The volume slider worked great.
Then, after one month of use, the clip decided it was through with life and promptly split at the hinge. Being the ghetto genius I am, I modded the hinge part with a paper clip and continued.
After about seven months of use the wire at the plug end began to decay, showing clear stress signs. Shortly thereafter, it separated revealing the inner guts. It took some heatshrink with electric tape to create a suitable fix. Needless to say, it became unattractive at this point.
About a month ago, I began encountering intermittent interference while on voice calls. Unfortunately it's steadily become a receiver for a gremlin minimalist band that loves to chip at my sanity with bits and bops. Talking over the sequential patterns is like trying to sing under a Chinese water torture device. It is freaking irritating. I notice that tapping/lightly slamming the volume control/control button/ microphone case seems to deliver an instant encore.
It's dead Jim.
Now after much research I find that there is still no better option. The Shure MPA-C3 is oddly vacant from the face of the planet. Griffin smart talk is described as coming apart after a month, Monster has issues with destroying pocketed iphones, and Audio-Technica has build quality issues that are almost as bad as the Griffin smart talk adapter. Just the mention of any of these aberrations makes me recoil. The saving grace is that while this brandless adapter is disposable, it's also cheap to replace. I'll be purchasing this again but this time I'll modify the heck out of it. Gorilla glue, heatshrink and some steel iBeams for good measure.

 Excellent headset adapter for Motorola DroidJan 08, 2010
By Joe from Wisconsin
I'm using this adapter on a Motorola Droid. It works great. The volume control works. People tell me that my voice is quite clear. The plug that plugs into the phone is low-profile, so I don't worry that it will catch on something and break off in the phone or damage the 3.5mm jack. The clip opens wide to grab onto, e.g., a thick coat collar, and it has a strong spring. The button mutes during a phone call and pauses while listening to podcasts. Works better than some devices I've tried that cost 3 times as much. I only wish it had controls to fast-forward and rewind podcasts, but I suspect those functions aren't available on the Motorola Droid headset jack. Oh, and delivery was very prompt, only about 3 days by USPS.

All the capabilities, half the price!Jan 16, 2010
By Curt Wiederhoeft
Since this seems to be a relatively new item, I want to add to the list of positive experiences. Voice memos, Shazam and Dragon Dictation all work perfectly on my iPod Touch. Haven't tried Skype yet.

 Good but delicateOct 16, 2010
By Peter Schlosser
"pschlosser"
This is a great unit. It is inexpensive and the sound quality is very good. In terms of listening quality, there is no discernible difference between it and other units costing ten times more. The microphone quality may not be as good as some of the noise-canceling units out there, but it performs adequately and remarkably well for the price.
Now the downside: it's delicate. It comes apart easy. The wires inside are very tiny and cannot tolerate being pulled around outside its case. Furthermore, the wires entering the base twist freely within the unit, and as such, frequent twisting causes the wires to break inside. This thing wasn't built to last, it was built with costs in mind.
An additional downside, at least for me, is the cable is too short. I am tall, and thus, my torso is tall. While the cable is around 24 inches long, it is not long enough for the phone to be down in the front pocket of my Levis and the microphone to be up on my lapel or collar. Instead, it just reaches the bottom of my shirt pocket. Another 12 inches would have scored a 5 star rating.
I have purchased three of these, now, and I have a tip for those of you who may be adventurous: Glue it shut. That's right, glue the thing shut and it will last considerably longer. Do this at your own risk, mind you. But if you want to save a buck and have the thing last for a while, this is my recommendation. I have perfected the following procedure and the third unit has lasted over 9 months, so far. I use the thing everyday in my car, and often around the house doing chores.
Insert the headphone plug into the top of the unit, and use it as leverage to split the unit apart. Carefully place superglue at a few places around the perimeter. Place a drop of glue at the base where the wires enter the unit (to prevent them from twisting.) Snap the unit back closed, press, hold and enjoy.
