Blacell GBA SP Gameboy Game boy Advance SP Earphone Adapter Black (allows you to use your standard earphone on GBA SP)

I received my adapter in the mail just a little bit ago. I've used it for about 15 minutes - and it does a great job of delivering the full sound potential of whatever GBA game you're playing. In fact, it even enhances the earliest games I have for the original Gameboy. I just finished playing a round of "Revenge of the 'Gator" pinball (published in 1989) and I was surprised by the great sound effects and music that the game fed through my Apple Premium earbuds! I think you'll like the adapter and I recommend it highly, but you should know that what you receive does NOT look like the photo that accompanies the item listing here on Amazon.com. The adapter I received is a single "L"-shaped piece of plastic, with the GBA SP connector (male) in one end and a hole for a 1/8" mini-plug from your headphones in the other end. Although the housing is plastic, it seems very sturdy - and the contact surfaces are obviously of adequate quality, since the sound you can extract is very good. The unit is also a relatively small, out-of-the-way, and securely anchored addition to the GBA SP's profile. The only way you might damage the adapter is if you dropped it (mounted on your GBA SP) on a hard floor or smacked it into something while you were playing. Have fun rockin' out to your GBA SP with a set of stereo headphones! I am!

It's very good.It works right out of the box

The small headphone adapter cord works well, it securely attached to the back port of the game boy advance sp and allows you to connect a standard headphone jack into the adapter. The black colour looks good with any color of system and the cord itself is low profile. Good purchase

Works great with my Gameboy Advance SP! However, if you have headphones with a built-in microphone(or a 'headset'), the sound WILL sound distorted. This is avoidable by either using different headphones, or by getting a breakout cable that removes the extra mic channel from the headphone jack. Pros: Sound is just as good as with the older gba's built-in output jack Cons: Cable is a bit tight when inserting/removing from the gba sp port.

Anyone using an average earphone might not be able to function it properly. Doesn't work for all earphones/headphones but it does for some. I initially triped with Apple earpods and it was either muffled or working only on one side etc, had loose connection, I tried other earphones too but was disappointed Later I happened to buy a Gameboy specific headphones and this adapter works excellently for it. But if I hadn't gotten this, maybe it wouldn't have worked. So do some research into what works and doesn't
