Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the audio quality, compatibility, and charging capabilities of the RockStar Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable. The ease of use is also a well-received feature. However, some customers find the price a bit high and the size somewhat bulky. There are also a few concerns about battery drain and the design.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

      Hi, marapo,

      The Belkin F8J212 should let you charge your phone and use any audio device thru the audio port at the same time. Try using another compatible handheld device to the charging port, and use a different audio device to the aux port for isolation. Send us an email then at [email protected] with your contact info and the link of this review for our reference, so we can have this checked with our Product Experts further.

      Hi Buzz,

      The Belkin F8J212btWHT offers dual functionality for charging and audio. Try plugging in another device to it (headphones and mobile device) to check if the same concern arises. Send us an email at [email protected] with the details of its behaviour along with your contact info and the link of this review for reference.

    Apple is greedy for all of the products they require you to purchase to adapt to the iPhone. The product itself did exactly what I needed to, but having to purchase it was a pain.

      Hi, Lj55555,

      The Belkin F8J212 offers dual functionality for charging and listening to your iPhone® or iPad®. Whether you want to charge in the car, on the go, or at home, the adapter makes it possible to listen to 3.5 mm audio and power your iPhone simultaneously. Thus, if the audio doesn't work, try using another 3.5mm audio cable. Take note that the Belkin F8J212 does not support Audio In. You may also try using another compatible phone and see if it makes any difference.

      Update us then on how it goes by sharing this over email at BelkinCares@belkin.com with your contact info and the link of this review, for our reference.

      Regards,

    Make sure you have your phone muted if you’re charging and listening through this device as it will randomly connect and disconnect the power about once every 5 seconds as you use it

      Hi, Kyle,

      It's clearly unacceptable that your Belkin RockStar only worked great in a short span of time. To isolate, try another headphone or speaker while charging and check if you're still getting thew same audio functionality. Let us know how it goes at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this post for easy reference. We'll have our Product Experts be of assistance on this matter.
