    Makes a corded headset work with iPhone

    • Written by from CHICAGO

    Apple does not mention it, but this little adapter makes a standard corded phone headset with a 2.5 mm jack work with the iPhone 3G. I wear hearing aids, so can't use an in the ear or over the ear Bluetooth. But now I can use my corded Panasonic phone headset with my iPhone! Yes! …More

    Makes your favorite headset compatible

    • Written by from San Diego

    One of my frustrations with the iPhone was the lack of plug in telephone headsets. This solves the problem. I am using it with a noise cancelling Plantronics headset and am as happy as can be. Voice and sound quality are both better than with any Bluetooth unit and as good or better than holding the telephone up to your ear.

    Note that the three-contact adapters sold at Radio Shack and other places don't work. I am not sure why, but you need to get this four-contact TTY plug for good voice quality. (see the photo and compare to the others to see what I am talking about).     …More

    Works with Plantronics headset

    • Written by from NORCROSS

    I use this with a Plantronics headset and it works very well. Volume levels incoming are fine and no complaints on the outgoing volume. Occasionally when removing it from the iPhone 3G it activates the iPod current song which is strange. I really like the convenience of using a corded headset sometimes. …More

    Adapts Normal Cell/House Phone Headsets 2.5

    • Written by from Browns Mills

    This is the ONLY adapter that will allow you to use your regular cell phone wired hands free headsets with the iPhone. It also allows you to use your house phone wired headset with the iPhone. Those use the 2.5 mm pin, and this adapter plugs that into the 3.5 mm that the iPhone uses. But BEWARE, this is the ONLY adapter that will work in the iPhone jack. The ones they sell in Radio Shack look similar, but do NOT work, as they only have two sections on the pin that goes in the iPhone, not the three that are required. The same thing is true of the other adapters you find elsewhere, they just don't work in the iPhone. Save yourself the trouble and just buy this Apple adapter. It's a shame that Apple doesn't advertise this adapter. Apple calls it the TTY adapter, and it does work for TTY (it's a deaf person typing machine), but it is also the ONLY solution for using a wired handsfree headset with the iPhone, and Apple should TELL people that! …More

    Works perfectly with older 2.5mm headsets

    • Written by from Houston

    This adapter allowed me to use older headsets that are 2.5mm. It is very compact, much better than a non-apple product I had before. …More
