Griffin Headphone Adapter for iPhone 1G White

Customer Reviews

Total Garbage....

2008-09-26
Like many of the other reviewers have previously stated, this unit is total junk. I have had two units fail on me in the past year alone, so I don't think its a defective batch just poor design and engineering. When it works it sounds fine, but that is what it is expected to do. Its supposed to be a simple adapter. After a few months of use, every time the adapter cable twists, the audio would get distorted and this is very annoying when I am trying to get my listen on. In case anybody was wondering, both the white and the black adapters are garbage so save your time and money by buying something else.

Very Useful

Its perfect, because you no longer has to worry about the iphone earphones, so can peak your favorites one, and thats it.

Great, then useless

It worked very well for about 5 months, then the right channel crapped out. Sounds like this is a common problem with this model. There are other adapters on the market, so stay away from this one.

Junk

This item developed a short after five months of light use and now provides sound to only one channel. I have owned numerous headphones over the years and never had any headphone develop this type of problem. I expect a $10 adapter to last much longer than this piece of junk.

Works like a charm!

After purchasing a cable that allowed me to hook my iPhone up to my stereo system in the car, I was unable to use it because the plug did not quite fit my iPhone. This little adapter worked like a charm and now I listen to my music through the car speakers. The adapter is made very well and is available at a very good price.

Poorly made

That recessed headphone jack on your Apple iPhone might render some headphones incompatible, but that's fixed easily enough. Griffin Headphone Adapter for iPhone lets you use the headphones you already own.

The specially designed 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) stereo mini plug fits the recess around the audio port on your iPhone. It also can be used to connect oversized headphone plugs to iPod in cases with a small headphone opening.

Once I got over being annoyed that this is necessary in the first place (thanks Apple), I found this griffin.

This is a good product. I like that it is low profile at the jack and flexible with the receiver for the headphones.

I also have a Dynex DX-HPADi, which is the stiff at-the-jack style. I don't like it because I can't put my iPhone in my pocket as easily with it in (i.e. worry about it applying too much stress and breaking the phone) and it gets in the way of my Incase rubber Protective Cover.

Summary: This works well and I like it better than the stick-type equivilants.

does the job 2008-04-25
does the job without adding too much cable. Can' t be used as a phone headset but lets you use your fave headphones with the iPod.

failed after a month 2008-04-23
works well when new. flexible and unobtrusive, good sound.

after one month it shorted out and the sound started to cut in and out, rendering the item unusable. DO NOT BUY.

Works well, high quality 2007-12-11
Better than one piece adapters from Belkin & Dynex (I have both), I personally prefer this short flexible adapter. Still it's another stupid accessory that Apple makes us purchase, no reason I phone could not have ben built to take std head phone adapter. Griffin adapter good...Apple bad, can't wait for iPhone to become open(er) platform in Feb'08.
