This item is perfect if you want to use a pair of head phones that are not a Apple product with your iPhone. I like to take my own headphones on the plane. So I don’t like taking a lot of different sets of headphones. I take my pair of non Apple head phones use them on the plane then use this adapter to use with my Apple phone. It works great as if they are Apple head phones. If you use a pair of non Apple headphone that can answer a call they will work perfectly with the adapter.

Bought this headset jack to go with my iPhone XR. Did realize my iPhone didn’t have a headset jack.I don’t like earbuds and wanted to use my Beats. Bought this device and it worked perfectly. My headset works like it is in a jack that was made in the phone. Love this jack.

Sometimes I want to use my wired headphones with my phone, and with modern smartphones, an adapter like this is needed. This lets me plug in my regular wired headphones that use the typical 3.5mm plug. It comes in a compact cardboard and paper box, containing the adapter and some information booklets. The adapter plugs into my phone’s charging port and fits well, just like a charging cable. The wire is thin, close to the wired headphone cable thickness. The adapter is pretty short, but it’s enough for an adapter like this. Being an official adapter, it has a similar quality feel to the company’s other wires and plugs. I wish my phone included this, but I understand most people are moving towards wireless earbuds, so it’s a separate purchase for those that want it. Also, the headphone plugs in securely and there doesn’t feel to be any chance of it falling out accidentally. The color scheme also matches other cables, so it blends in well, visually. As for audio quality, I think it’s great and I don’t notice any difference when using the adapter. Overall, it’s a good quality adapter and I have no major complaints about it. If someone needs to use wired headphones, I would recommend getting this.

I have an L-shaped plug on the end of my corded earphones which wouldn't fit through the case on my iPad. This adapter allows me to use my earphones with my iPad via the charging port. But remember, you can't charge your iPad (or iPhone) while you are using the adapter.

Seamlessly connect your iPhone ( or other device Apple) to “old” style headphones that utilize 3.5 stereo jack ( wired) to connect to Apple’s Lighting port on iPhone. I tested it in an older iPhone 6 S and my current iPhone 10s Max and worked perfectly as you would expect an iproduct . My testing was for listening only and did not test phone calls with built in microphone on some wired headphones.
