Belkin 3.5 mm Audio + Charge Rockstar (iPhone Aux Adapter/iPhone Charging Adapter), White

We’ve tried some cheaper brands that only lasted for months, in the end we came back to Belkin — they work reliably and last for years

I have used Belkin products for years and have always found them reliable and good quality. As you can also buy this device from the Apple Store then they must be confident in it. It is bulkier and more exurban other adapters due to it being an active device but sound quality is excellent through a decent set or headphones or ear buds.

I had previously been foolish enough to buy a £6.99 version of this type of adapter. Waste of money. Then I saw this Belkin adapter. Every Belkin piece of gear I have bought has worked without a problem. And this adapter is no exception. The take away from this is simple. You get what you pay for. Cheap Chinese crap that fails to deliver what it claims, or a more expensive name brand that does.

My iPhone 7 Plus does not have a 3.5mm stereo jack socket for earbuds or headphones. Instead Bluetooth wireless earbuds / headphones are recommended for use with the Bluetooth-equipped, wireless iPhone. However, all of my Bluetooth earbuds / headphones are equipped with rechargeable batteries, which have a finite operational life. When charged, most will work for up to 10 - 20 hours before needing to be recharged. The Belkin adapter splits the iPhone 7 Plus's Lightning port into 2 ports: a 2nd Lightning port and a 3.5mm stereo port. The later port means cabled earbuds / headphones can be plugged directly into the iPhone adapter. Bluetooth is not needed. The 2nd Lightning port can be used to power the iPhone when cabled earbuds / headphones are in use. Consequently, there is no drain on the iPhones's battery when earbuds / headphones are worn. Without an external charger connected to iPhone adapter, the earbuds / headphones will hasten the drain on its battery. Highly recommended for users who prefer cables earbuds / headphones to using wireless, Bluetooth earbuds / headphones.

TL;DR: Great while it works - just don't expect it to last for more than a month or two in a car! I purchased this January 10th, 2019. It's April 16th as I write this. The initial unit I received worked wonderfully. It was installed in my car to both charge and send audio to my car's head unit. Plug in one wire, stick my iPhone in the car phone mount (now screwed to the dashboard, suction cups are not great!) and go - everyone's a winner. Then came February 2nd, 2019. Happily driving along, and the audio cut out. Strange. Must be a bad connection, I thought. Pulled over, wiggled the connector and the music resumed. I then set off, and it cut out again. This was how the first one of these units failed, and was replaced without question by Amazon, as expected. Kudos to Amazon as usual for excellent service. The second unit arrived on the 11th February 2019 and, again, worked flawlessly, up until today, the 16th April 2019, when this time the sound works but it no longer charges my iPhone. I've tried a couple of different iPhones - it's not my phone that's the problem - these adapters just cannot handle being used in a car, it seems. I'm not swinging off the cable itself, I always grip the connector itself when connecting or disconnecting. I would recommend you steer clear of this device. I've just found a Bluetooth audio receiver sold as being for use with old Hi-Fi systems and I think that may be a more reliable choice for car audio uses. A shame, as when this adapter worked, it was marvelous. It happily passed the full charging current to my iPhone XS Max without complaint.

All of these adapters break, no matter what brand. Most commonly the cable frays or cracks. Sometimes they just stop working entirely for no reason. If you're hoping that this one won't because it's a big brand and expensive, then you're sadly mistaken. However, the difference here is that you can contact Belkin support can get a replacement. Try doing that with the fly-by-night sellers from China here on eBay. Getting a replacement from Belkin is a hassle and they make you destroy the old one by cutting through the cable. And, of course, they really shouldn't break in the first place. But at least it's not a total rip off.

Not all jack-lightning connectors work two-way. Some only allow you to listen to music but don't work for a phone call or a skype/zoom call. I purchased two other cheaper products in the past and had to return them. This one from Belkin works very well both ways and allows you to charge your phone at the same time. With intense use, it has lasted 4 months which for some might not seem to be a lot but you have to remember that this short piece of cable and adaptor was in and out of my pocket every day, bent to fit in, taken in and out at least 30 times a day which makes it bending more than 3600 times. My wired headphones did not last that long.

Didn’t last for to long

Çok teşekkür ederim. Memnun kaldık ve anlatıldığı gibi özellikleri ve kullanım amacı doğru şekilde çalışıyor. Ürün kalitesi güzel

مره حلوه ووصلت ع طول

Belkin es una marca que realiza accesorios certificados MFi (Made for iPhone), es decir que van ser totalmente compatibles con iPhone, y en general para Apple. Lo que tenemos aquí es un conector lightning + salida jack 3.5" en un mismo cable que ademas permite su uso simultaneo mientras cargas el móvil puedes escuchar tu música o responder un llamada por medio de unos auriculares/altavoces a través del jack 3,5mm. Yo he probado con unos auriculares con micrófono (auriculares con micrófono de otro fabricante, no los de Apple que también funcionaran) a hacer llamadas mientras cargaba el iPhone de una Powerbank y funciona perfectamente. He probado a escuchar música mientras cargaba el terminal y perfecto. Es mas creo que la calidad del sonido era mejor que en los auriculares por Lightning de Apple. Por otro lado, el cable es bastante resistente y ademas como tiene un buen tamaño no es fácil de perder. Otro punto a favor es que es fácil de limpiar la suciedad del accesorio con un poco de alcohol isopropílico.

Doet precies wat het moet doen! De oplaad/voedingsoptie was een must voor de oudere device.

Dopo aver acquistato un iphone SE mi sono ritrovato con molte cuffie jack ancora in ottimo stato, ma inutilizzabili. L'adattatore serve, infatti, a colegare un cavo jack e un cavo lightning. In prima battuta mi sono indirizzato verso un adattatore senza marchio, tuttavia non ha funzionato: perciò, l'unica scelta è stata acquistare l'adattatore ufficiale della Belkin. • UNBOXING E CONSEGNA = ho deciso di acquistare un warehouse deal, praticamente come nuovo, ad un prezzo molto vantaggioso. Consegna sempre secondo gli standard Amazon, presso il locker di zona. Ho trovato la scatola originale in ottime condizioni. • DESCRIZIONE PRODOTTO E SUO FUNZIONAMENTO = l'adattatore deve essere semplicemente inserito nella presa lightning dell'iphone. Funziona perfettamente, mentre facendo una comparazione, l'audio è identico alle cuffie earpods con attacco lightning. • PRO = + si possono utilizzare cuffie jack + si può caricare il telefono mentre si usano auricolari + non c'è perdita di qualità audio + alta qualità generale • CONTRO = - un po' costoso a listino - può infastidire chi si infila il telefono nelle tasche (strette) dei jeans • RIEPILOGO = per chi volesse utilizzare ancora auricolari jack e/o ricaricare mentre utilizza le cuffiette, l'adattatore Belkin è l'unica scelta. Onde evitare di rovinare il telefono con adattatori non originali, i quali non garantiscono nemmeno un audio decente. Questo accessorio funziona perfettamente, gli unici difetti veniali sono il prezzo un po' alto a listino e la dimensione non compattissima. Tuttavia, mi rendo conto sia difficile miniaturizzare ancor di più un tale adattatore senza impattare sulla qualità ed anche il prezzo, onestamente, è proporzionale alla qualità: gli adattatori non originali, seppur costando meno, alla fine risultano inutilizzabili o di qualità veramente povera. • CONSIGLIO? ASSOLUTAMENTE SÌ
