    Seems defective. Plugged it into my keyboard and frequently get a buzzing sound or audio cutout in one headphone. Tried three different pairs of headphones (two brand new, one known to work) and get same thing. Tried jiggling the adapter and headphones separately to test the connection and it seems to be the adapter

    I purchased three of these. One of them was an open box purchase at $1 off, but proved to be defective when I tried to use it. I guess that's why it was on the shelf "open box," someone returned it, but nobody checked why. It looks perfect, but it is far from that.

    I bought this to go with my headphones , so that I could connect it to my bass amp. There was so much static. I returned it, bought a different one from different store and have no issues now. Yes, I bought the correct size. It’s just one of those things.
