I've seen all kinds of mixed reviews on the quality of this product, but mine worked just great. With this adapter, I can use a regular set of Bose in ear buds which give me the flexibility to plug into my Apple iPhone, or if I'm on a plane, just remove the adapter and plug into the in seat entertainment center. Very low profile and mine has proven to be very durable. I am training for a marathon and so it takes a beating in my pocket while running several miles. Add to that the occasional (and inevitable) yank on the cord when it catches on something. No problem with the connection and no perceived degradation of sound quality. I got a backup just in case, but I ended up giving it to my son for his phone. In the end, I don't know what all the fuss was about. I suppose they could have just packaged this with the phone to begin with and eliminated all the grief over getting rid of the older style audio jack. Must have if you own an iPhone 7 or later.

This is becoming frustrating. I had previously ordered 3 headphone jack adapters for my iPhone 7+, and all 3--including one purchased from Apple Store--failed. Then I came upon this one, being offered by Amazon as an Add-On special (when appended to an order of Amazon-sold products totaling $25 or more) for $7.69. Having nothing to lose, I added it to an order of shampoo and toothpaste. This time the product worked--no drop-outs, no static, it just plain performed! I got carried away and ordered one of those metal knobs that promises lock-tight security for your Headphone Jack adapter. Of course, I lost my lone functional adapter before the metal knob arrived. Immediately I went to the same page to buy another adapter. Surprise! It's no longer being sold! (It figures. Apple's removal of the Headphones Out port has created a large and competitive sub-rosa industry among Asian manufacturers that deal in cloning iPhone "accessories." Why doesn't Apple join forces with these dealers instead of encouraging them to counterfeit and scab off of Apple products?[Original Review:] This is my 4th order for an adapter for my many non-Bluetooth headphones and, especiallly, earphones. Best of all, it's the first one that works! (No drop-outs--yet.) After the failure of the same $9 adaptor ordered from Apple Store, I'm surprised, relieved, and happy to have this little bugger connected to the power port of my iPhone 7+.Now I have 2 additional wishes: 1. I hope I don't inadvertently disconnect, misplace, or lose this little guy (losing my new iPod Touch was a heartbreaker--these small and light "itiinerants" have a habit of booking flight elsewhere, with other faces and frequent fliers;; 2. I hope it continues to perform as it has for the past couple of days and nights. (On the other hand, if it fizzles on me, the concern mentioned in #1 will no longer matter. I'll be minus more gadgets--a victory for the human spirit that explores a world without boundaries (no user-name or email address requried of the boundless imagination) and without the daily exasperating struggles with "passwords.," Instead, with each break-down it's easier to say: "I travel light.

Was worried about finding one of these that actually works after reading negative reviews about most of them. This one works every time so far.

Adapter will charge if you hold charger firmly into adapter. Audio doesn't work at all, returning.

Super fast shipping and looks great
