Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the headphones. Some mention that it's great product, good quality, and holds up after a while. However, others say that it is not the most durable product out there, it quickly breaks, and the cord is very delicate.

Why couldn’t this be sent in bubble envelope?What a waste. This is not only time we received items over packaged. Please be more aware.So far earbuds are working.Thank you.
95% of people will buy this just to be able to connect their wired headphones to their iPhone, but what they won't realize is this a very capable DAC/amp (emphasis more on the DAC) that powers relatively low impedance headphones with ease and measures incredibly well for the price. I plugged HD58x's into these (relatively easy to power) and they got plenty loud enough and sounded great. You can tell when going from something like a Liquid Spark or JDS Atom to this that the openness and separation does suffer a little bit, but it's shocking how close they are.
What this won't do is properly power high impedance headphones. It's not a ton of power into 32 ohms, so when you start to get to 250 ohms+ it's not capable enough to take full advantage of what those headphones can do.
Still, this is absolutely the best DAC/amp you can buy for under $10 and represents one of the best values in audio in my opinion. I didn't really need this for any specific reason, but I bought it to play around with and am super pleased with its performance. I'll still use my desktop setup most of the time, but if I want to walk around the house and don't want to use Bluetooth, this is the only way to go.
If you're just looking for a converter and don't understand or care about most of what is written above, you'll also be very pleased. Essentially, these will make your headphones sound better while providing a strong, secure connection into your phone. I can't recommend this product enough.
It does a single job and does it very well. Construction appears to be very good. I have four of these - two for Lightening and two for USB-C - and zero issues have ever arisen. Fantastic low price is routinely available.
From your every day individuals who want to listen to music with wired headphones to heavy audiophiles, the Apple 3.5mm headphone adapter is well known. It seems to be the most recommended when it comes to an affordable DAC in the in-ear audiophile world. I am currently using it paired with some studio monitors and it is fantastic. They also gave me no problems when using my IEMs and listening on my iPhone.
Definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for an affordable, portable DAC.
Worked great, amazing sound quality. Never had any issues with the sound cutting out when twisting certain ways. But it did stop working randomly after 1 year and 10 months. Wire never frayed and stayed together well.
We had tried aftermarket brand of earphones and did not like them as the sound quality was not as good. The lightning adapter plug allowed us to use apple ear buds we still had from previous phones that were still in good shape and worked well; same sound quality as apple has - no degradation. Will order a couple more to convert additional earbuds we have.
Forget buying the cheaper non-Apple adapters, even if it's a multi-pack for less or the same price. They either don't work correctly or quickly break. Their ratings might be over 4 stars but the genuine reviews are mostly negative. Get the Apple one, shipped and sold by Amazon.
Apple's original for a better price. Works well for my hardwired headphones (M50x). Nothing to complain about. Will probably buy another one for the "road".
