Mangotek Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter, Apple MFi Certified Right Angle iPhone Headphone Adapter Aux Dongle Audio Converter Compatible with iPhone 14 13 12 11 Pro Max 7 8 Plus SE X XR XS

I'm a old-school bird so I needed an adapter for my new phone so I can listen to my Spotify. I purchased another one that had a small like wire attachment which works great but is too long when I walk fast and the earphone wires get knotted. I found this adapter on a random search and too a chance. It works GREAT! Is sturdy but be cautious when you pull it out from the phone. Sound quality is great too. I use Sony earphones. Best part is that the adapter is so compact it fits perfectly in my pocket when attached to the phone and is easy to store in my little crossbody purse.

Great solution for my running headphones! The long adapters kept getting kinked in my elbow while on my arm for running. This has eliminated that issue and works great so far. I love this design. Not sure why Apple doesn’t make them like this.Update 07/2022: After almost 2 years, it has stopped working reliably. It will give the error that it’s not compatible. Not every time, but enough to be annoying now. Leaving my review as-is and just ordered a replacement.

So the engineering/design of this product is faulty. It is not the internal wiring of the adaptor. It is the jack of the adaptor that is the problem. The jack for the adaptor does not insert snug into an iphone lightning port. No it is not the port on my iphone that is the problem. I know that because I have another device that mounts snug into the port on my iphone and there are no connectivity probelms. The fact that the jack for this adaptor does not mount snug into an iphone lightning port means that anytime there is the slightest pressure on the adaptor the music cuts out and my iphone goes into "voice control" mode. I even turned off voice control mode and still the adaptor malfunctions in the described way kicking the phone into voice control mode. So every time I put my iphone into my jacket pocket with my wired headphones connected to this faulty adaptor the jack wiggles in the port causing my phone to go into voice control mode. It probably also is not good for the lightning port on my iphone.

I’ve been using this a week or so and love it. It’s stable in my phone, iPhone earbuds work perfectly. Even able to adjust volume from my earbuds without using phone volume control. The prior adaptor wouldn’t allow volume control from the earbuds. Definitely recommend

Original review 1 star: The adapter worked well in the beginning with iPhone. Able to hear clearly with headphones and then 2.5 months later the adapter just stopped working during use. At the most the adapter was used once a week. The adapter wasn't dropped or mishandled. In fact it's usually placed on my night table when not in use. I tried contacting the seller regarding the warranty but to no avail. Highly recommend not to purchase this item.Update 12/7/22:Soon after I submitting the review, the seller contacted me and offered to send a replacement. Great CS! Thank you. Changing the rating from 1 star to 4 star.

I switched from a different model with a fine cord attached on the outside when I realized they do not last very long. It is disturbing when you think you are the only one listening, but you wake up your wife because the loud speakers are blaring away with the earbuds plugged in.It is too bad Apple has decided to do away with the reliable 3.5mm round audio jack on their devices.

I chose this item in order to delete any dangling cords sticking out from my iPhone. I also ordered a pair of cheaper ones that plug in and hang down straight. I clearly heard distortion using this right angle adapter but did not on the others. My guess is my Otterbox protetive case adds enough thickness at the base of the phone that it prevents a secure connection. And I have no desire to ditch the Otterbox so I'll return this item.It was scratching sounding even when the phone was stationary.

This has really nice, fine volume steps! That makes it really nice to feed the speakers in my skiing helmet. This allows me to listen to music at a low enough volume level to still be aware of my surroundings. It offers lots of fine steps in the volume, so as to be able to "fine tune" the volume level to deal with surrounding ambient noise level, but still be able to be conscious of what's going on around me and hold conversations. This is in contrast to a mechanically similar item, the "Headphone Adapter Lightning to 3.5mm AUX Audio Jack and Charger Extender..." by zoyuzan. That Zoyuzan adapter has two few volume steps and each step is particularly large. It is impossible to "fine tune" the volume level so as to be able to hear your music AND still be conscious of your surroundings. So... buy this one by Mangotek!!!
