WirelessGround iPhone 3.5mm Stereo Head Jack Converter

P3016318.JPG First of all, I have to apologize for the delay in doing this review!

I've been searching for the perfect 3.5mm headphone jack converter for a while now. In my search for the perfect adapter I've purchased a Belkin and a Griffin adapter, but those were quite large and felt more like a dongle than an adapter. I was wondering why they couldn't just make it smaller?

WirelessGround has answered my question by introducing their right angled iPhone 3.5mm Stereo Head Jack convertor! The angled plug allows you to connect the adapter to your iPhone and not have a dongle like contraption protruding out of it like the others, which to me was a great improvement! Still not as small as I'd like though.

In addition to the compact design, the Wirelessground adapter seems to be gold plated and that will eventually be better for connectivity and will prevent corrosion in the future. Also notice that the WirelessGround version has three rings on it's tip so you can use headphones with that have controls on them to interact with the iPhone when using the adapter.

Testing out the adapter was easy and it worked just like an adapter should: without any hassle. Overall a great adapter that will be replacing the Belkin and the Griffin! Below are some photos of the adapter in action as well as some comparison photos.

You can purchase the WirelessGround iPhone 3.5mm Stereo Head Jack converter directly from WirelessGround!

Nice, seems pretty huge next to some of those other ones though. I always love seeing accessories for these things though.

I have my iPhone 1st gen mounted on a ProClip on the dash of my car with the original headphones cut apart and lengthened so the mic goes to the dome-light area of my M3 above the rear-view, and the sound goes into the stereo system. It works perfect for hands-free operation without the use of bluetooth and sounds better than any bluetooth hands free could.

I have been looking for a right-angle extension cord forever without success. A 90 degree bend coming out of the top of the iPhone would allow a much cleaner and shorter setup that would obstruct the view less. Closest is the Shure extension mic adapter but it is approximately a 40 degree angle and considerably thicker.

I saw the adapter you purchased online but was concerned over the size. Thank you for your review with pictures. They clearly show that the adapter would be too bulky once the standard Apple headphones were plugged into them as they would extend far off the right side of the phone when mounted in standard portrait orientation.

The search for a 90 degree 4-conductor iPhone 1st gen extension cable continues...
