Customer Rating:      Summary: Do NOT Buy This! Comment: I'm sorry. I'm an audio guy by trade. And I'm an iPhone owner. This is absolutely the most ridiculously designed adapter I have ever, EVER seen, especially for an iPhone. How in the world are you supposed to use it?
Yes, you can do what some of the others have suggested and trim the plug on your existing headphones. Just be careful not to injure yourself with the knife and not to cut too deep or you'll be in the wiring.
But look around on Amazon and eBay. There are dozens of these adapters that have cables attached, some with right angle plugs, that will work much, MUCH better than this thing. I just can't believe this went through R&D, committee approval meetings, etc. No one must have owned an iPhone back then when this was thought up and created!
Anyway, do NOT even think of getting this. Try this the fitz headphone adapter - Black instead.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Coda's Review Comment: The adapter not connect well, so the sound comes from iPhone for only one channel.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great price for an iPhone necessity Comment: This product is so expensive everywhere else (My room mate paid double what I paid). Amazon has the best prices on iPhone accessories.
Customer Rating:      Summary: WOW, THANK YOU BEN FOR THE USER UPLOADED PICTURES Comment: The first thing I did was laugh, that was just too funny.
I was about to buy an item on eBay, but before doing so I headed to my trusty Amazon to check for reviews, as I always do.
Anyway, thanks to Ben's uploaded pic... I am STAYING AWAY.
Just look at that thing! It's like attaching a pen to your iPhone, and it's retro motorola cellphone gray colored, to top it off!
Thanks again Amazon peeps for uploading pics, and helping me run away from this purchase.
I was trying to purchase a branded adapter, but I guess I have no choice but to buy the black iphone adapters from ebay for $3.00

Customer Rating:      Summary: It works, sort of. Comment: This adapter does work. However, notice that it only has 3 contacts instead of 4 like the iphone headset has. After you use this adapter, when you unplug it, the microphone on your iphone will be disabled. You will not be able to talk to people on the phone. If you reboot the iphone, everything will be fine - until you use the adapter again. Buy an adapter with 4 contacts. Walmart sells an adapter set (with 5 different pieces) by Schosche for about $10. It is much better.
