Just what I needed. After purchasing a new Iphone 8, I needed an adapter that allowed me to charge my phone in the car while using the AUX plug. Works flawlessly. Highly recommend.

This is a pricey but very essential iPhone accessory and very much worth getting this instead of a cheaper version online that will not work with the next update.
Apple wired and wireless pods cause too much pain. I love having one in my work bag and one for everything else. I am able to first continue using my favorite EarPods and UrBeats and being able to charge my de ice at the same time.
Yes this is 3 time the cost of the headphone dongle and larger. But this is so much easier to find at the bottom of your bag when public transportation.

No longer do you need to charge OR listen to yout 3.5mm jack headphones. You can do both with this adapted. You can use it like the dongle the phone came with too.

I was looking for a solution to be able to charge my iPhone X and listen to music using my older 3.5mm connection headphones at the same time. I found it with this product. Although it is a bit bulky, I can plug in my lightning cable and my Skullcandy Crushers into the 3.5mm audio jack on this belkin product. No more having to choose! If you don’t want to use Bluetooth headphones, I would highly recommend this product. There is also a version available to use with headphones that have a lightning connector, although I have not tested that version.

I like to plug my iPhone into my car radio and listen to music while I drive but I can only choose to either connect it to my radio or charge it since there is now only one port. The Apple adapter I had bought was just not cutting it. I needed this adapter in order to both listen to music and charge my iPhone which my old iPhone could do without an adapter. I wish there was no need for this adapter or Apple included this type of adapter with the phone. The adapter is easy to use and works as it should but it's expensive.

This is my second one — the first one did not fail, a large soda got dumped on it and ruined it. Seems to still be of the same quality with decent sound and the ability for powering or even charging while listening. Buy this one over the one with two lightning ports. I bought it first and it failed within 3 months. Either one is a cumbersome solution at best thanks to Apple’s fateful decision to remove the standard mini headphone jack in their usual fashion —- aesthetics over function. If i had wanted to always have to carry something else along with me to use standard headphones, I’d have gotten an external headphone amp/DAC unit

Terrific device for your new mobile gear which no longer has a headphone port. Comes in either usb-c or lightening input, sold separately; so check the box to make sure you have the right interface. This allows you to listen to your music or video or zoom call and charge at the same time.
That's a fantastic summary! We're thrilled to hear you find the Belkin Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable + Audio Charger Splitter such a terrific and essential accessory for mobile devices without a headphone port.

I needed something in my car that would charge my phone and play music at the same time. This satisfies that criteria and then some. A little bulky or it would get the 5th star.

Had this for some months and it was perfect I loved it. I have to take a lot of long drives for work and this made the drive much better because I can run my GPS, listen to music, and charge at the same time. The downfall comes in winter when it’s cold the device stops working properly. I wouldn’t buy this again especially for the high price you have to cough up. There’s a lot better products that perform the duties of this product much better and for 1/4 of the price. Disappointed because Belkin usually makes dependable products.

This is my third such adapter. The other two were $10 knockoffs purchased from another... "place"... because I thought this one was too expensive (and it simply bothers me to pay triple the necessary price). Here's the difference between this one and those others: This adapter completely and totally works every time I use it (daily) and regardless of which cord is plugged in first. (I had to sneak up on the other adapters, plugging in first either the phones or power in a changing and seemingly arbitrary order.) With this Belkin adapter it makes no difference what's plugged in first -- presumably because the design doesn't rely on voodoo. I think it's just the age old story -- you get what you pay for. I've had the adapter for three weeks now and I guess it's possible it will stop working. But as frustrating as that will be (if it happens) I have (a fair amount of) confidence that the extra $25 was also buying Belkin standing behind their product. I guess we'll see, but in the meantime it's great. (Btw yes, it's maddening that we need this thing in the first place -- I'd ask what Apple was thinking but since I bought the iPhone knowing of this issue the better question is: What was I thinking?) If you're gonna buy one of these adapters it should be this once. And maybe, like me, think twice before getting into this situation again.

Nothing complicated with the product. Of course its big and bulky but needed because i have headphone with controllers and i also need it to recharge my phone if need be. i use my phone for my job and if i am on my phone all day and cant recharge, phone is dead by the end of the day. This product will allow a recharge and have headphones on at the same time. I would only use for office. For gym or exercise, for me any way, it is an impractical product for that form of activity.

The only adapter of this kind that works consistently for me. Every other brand I bought either doesn’t work in the way I expected, or it’s completely malfunctioned and worthless. I will say that this frays pretty easily, but I also use it pretty heavily. I wish the joints were a bit stronger, considering the price. Unfortunately I keep losing this adapter so I now have to buy another one..
We’re glad to hear the Belkin F8J212 has been the most reliable option for you compared to other brands. We appreciate your honest feedback about the fraying and joint strength — it helps us improve. Thanks for continuing to choose it, even with heavy use. Should you have any questions or other concerns regarding our products, feel free to get in touch with us any time.

It works. I have used it to plug my I phone into a set of PC speakers and I get loud sound that we can hear across the room. I have used the charging feature, it works while using the phone. I have used it for the phone like speaker mode and it works well speaking and listening. I can play audio books from my I phone through the PC speakers and the sound is loud.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Allows listening with earbuds at the same time as charging. Especially valuable when in the Quiet Car of an Amtrak train.
We're glad the Belkin Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable + Audio Charger Splitter worked well for your audio and charging needs. If there’s anything specific, you’d like to see more of, feel free to let us know.

Works as it should. It’s a jack and a charger to my iPhone that doesn’t have a jack and of course I have a car that only has a jack in, no usb or Bluetooth. No problems yes, clear sound and very loud. I would definitely buy again and definitely recommend to readers who may be against the fence.

This product was perfect! It was cheaper than the Apple brand and works better. There’s no static and it brings the volume louder than the actual radio sound. The clarity was amazing!

it works. both charges iPhone battery and allows audio listening through headphone jack at the same time. no background white noise during audio use and you're able to use the in-wire play/pause/skip track button if have those kind of earbuds. great purchase as long as you don't mind extra wires hanging about. most usable when you're stationary.

Don't make the same mistake that I did. I tried to save some money by purchasing a cheaper adapter on EBay. The adapter ended up being garbage. This Belkin adapter works perfectly. I've been using it for a few weeks now to both charge and listen to my iPhone 8+ while in the car. The adapter works each and every time. It charges great and the audio delivered to my car stereo via the aux input is nice and clean. Highly recommended.

This affordable adapter/jack does what it's supposed to do. It allows an iPhone lightning power cord to be plugged in for charging while simultaneously using standard 3.5mm earbud/headphones. I have an iPhone 7 and don't like the design of only 1 port, so accessory manufacturing companies are making more money selling adapters. Belkin makes reliable electronics and they're cheaper than the Apple branded items.
