Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPhone Stereo 3.5mm Audio Converter w/ Microphone For iPhone 1G
Customer Review: Good but delicate
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
