Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is ok my only problem is that when charging and using earphones you can only use the one kind with the iPhone adapter earphones and not the new iPhone earphones it’s good if you have the older iPhones

Adapter
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Use it in my iPhone 6s to hear music in my car. The electricity that charge the phone interferes with the sound, and you hear a hum noise in the sound. Thought this was implicitly addressed by the manufacturer.

Gets the job done, but noticeable interface
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This gets the job done, but you have to make sure you have a clean connection, specially with the audio jack. If you don’t, you’ll notice a static interference from the charging cable.

Pretty good but pricey
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s overall pretty good but it’s a little pricey , and it’s pretty big. Won’t recommend though because of its price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Effective but not durable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked for about 2 months before it stopped. My kids are pretty hard on the adapters so I purchased 2 at the time. Im hoping this lasts longer.

Using the charger causes a buzzing sound
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed this to play audio in my older vehicle which only had a headphone input (no USB jack). I thought I could charge my phone and also play music at the same time. But I found that if I have the charger going at the same time I'm playing music, there's an annoying buzz in the headphone line. I can't be sure that this isn't just a problem with my car's stereo (maybe a smarter stereo system would filter out this buzz?) but it was bad enough that I don't use this adapter the way I planned to.

Posted .Hi, Alan,
There should not be any buzzing noise while using the Belkin F8J212 3.5 mm Audio + Charge adapter. You can try to use a different headphone or different MFi-certified lightning to USB cable for isolation. For further assistance, you can reach out to us at BelkinCares@belkin.com and share more details with the link to this review for our reference.

Replace headphone jack
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So they removed the headphone jack—I just use this so I can still use a headphone & also charge at the same time.
I would recommend this to a friend Does not work consistently in the car
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this so I could charge my new iPhone X and listen to music/podcasts/etc. while in my car. Unfortunately, when I set the phone down next to me, after a few moments, the audio no longer works. I have to unplug and replug it in to make it work, and it'll still stop. I finally got it to stay on when I held the phone between my legs. So weird. I'm going to have to try and find a different audio/charging set-up. I would not recommend this product.

Good in a pinch.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This adapter works ok. When plugged into a power source it does produce a little feedback that I barely hear. Good in a car. Not so good for critical listening.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from BelkinStaff
Posted .Hi Tinkerer,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. The adapter should provide clear audio and there should be no feedback. To further isolate this behavior, we suggest that you try using other headphones to check if the same thing is observed.
We can also have our Product Experts check this out to make sure. Just send us your contact details at BelkinCares@belkin.com so that we can escalate your case. Don't forget to include the link to this post as a reference.

Posted .Hi, youwho,
The Belkin 3.5mm Audio + Charge RockStar (F8J212) should work with any Apple device that runs iOS 9 or later. You may try to use the adapter with a different iOS device for isolation.
