This is worthless garbage
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overpriced garbage!! Its on apple’s website this is licensed to be used with apple products.. it will work for 2 min then a message will pop up not compatible with apple devices cutting out all sound with the headphone plugged into this... I returned its useless the only method I found to work to charge my iphone and have headphones in is buy the wireless aipods..
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDoes it's job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Work great but for some reason it will make the phone vibrate?
I would recommend this to a friendOnly good for a couple months
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product was great and worked exactly as advertised; however, after just a couple months of use, the wire started turning yellow and green, and eventually the adapter stopped working. Buying bluetooth headphones turned out to be a better investment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat concept however
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cord stopped working in less than a month. The idea is great because apple doesn’t offer a charger/ headphone audio jack adapter piece but this product just stopped working out of nowhere and wasn’t even being manipulated frequently to cause a short.

Doesn’t last long and other issue
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not dependable and no indicator on which to plug in the power. Made my own markings for the power side.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendKind of disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have to keep buying these every month or so because they break so easily. And they’re not exactly cheap either when you buy so many. Wish the durability was a bit better for the price I pay for it.

Not what I wanted!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only reason that I purchased this item was because the best buy associate who I asked about this product told me that it will work for what I wanted. Which was to be able to charge not only my tablet which happens to be the iPad Pro 12.9 inch but also to be able to charge my Apple Pencil all at the same time. The sales person told me that this would work for me that it would do both. When this product does not do this at all. If I plug my tablet into the adapter and then plug my Apple Pencil it will only charge my Apple Pencil and then I have to reconnect my tablet to the adapter again to get it to charge.

Posted .Hi,
The adapter is designed to allow you to listen to music while you are charging your Apple device, it was not meant to charge two (2) devices.
If you have further questions, feel free to email us at [email protected].
Have a good day!

ripoff, would give a 0/5
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First week it worked just fine, then I started having issues with the charging functionality being spotty and just refusing to charge my phone, then the cables started wrinkling after a month and I can only use one for charging and one for listening and not vise versa or it will just not work at all. God forbid I knock it around either or it will stop doing both. What a ripoff for $40

Poor wiring
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second time I have bought one of these and each time within 3-4 months the wiring started cutting out my audio. If you purchase buy the warranty from Best Buy to get it replaced.

OK Adaptor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works but wish it had a lightning port and a headphone jack, not 2 lightning ports becuase chances are that you will have to carry the little lightning adaptor included with your phone as well.

Posted .Hi Jefferson,
Your Belkin Rockstar should last longer than what you have described as it is engineered for ultimate durability. We're curious if both the charging and audio functionalities are not working so we can get this taken care of. Please provide us more details at [email protected] with your contact information and the link to this review for easy reference.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Great product that meets two needs at once
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product allows you to listen to music and charge your phone at the same time. Listen as long as you want because the battery is getting charged as you are listening. No low battery!
I would recommend this to a friendWorked as expected but didn’t last
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used this item for about 2 months before it failed to be recognized by my phone or earbuds. Worked great while it lasted, but didn’t last.

Posted .Hi, BDubs,
The Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge should work iPhones with iOS 10 or later. You can try to use the adapter with other iOS devices for isolation or with different headphones or charge cables and see if that will make any difference.
Let us know the result at [email protected] with your contact detail and the link to this review for our reference.

Great while it worked
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was great for a few weeks- I was able to charge and listen to music as I wanted. But after about three weeks it stopped working. It would charge and that was it.

Posted .Hi Chris,
It's unusual for the product to stop working in such a short time. Did you recently update the iOS version of your phone? Please tell us more about it at [email protected] so we can help you request for a new one. Include your contact details and the link to this review for our reference.

Apple
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the 4th time I’ve purchased this product in the past 39 months and it never has lasted more than 7 months
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot ideal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Way too bulky...still looking for a better, lighter option.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot worth it…
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.…but you’ll probably need it. If it seats in a bent position for too long, it will no longer function properly.
