Belkin’s headphone adapter for iPhone costs around $11. It is a two inch towering rubber-clad rod with a plug at one end and socket at the other. The third party headphones that have big miniplugs won’t work with the iPhone’s headphone jack. The solution is a headphone adapter that that can be plugged into the iPhone headphone jack and there upon lets one to use the headphone of one’s choice. Many dealers such as Belkin, Griffin technology and Shure have announced such adapters. The Duo provides sound comparable to the Vibe and uses a miniplug small abundant to fit the iPhone’s headphone jacks which are much better than Apple’s stock ear-buds.
The adapter with V-Moda’s Vibe Duo an iPhone focused version of the company’s excellent Vibe has been tested. Every set of headphones tested
works fine with the adapter. The plug end is thin and perfect to fit in the headphone jack gap of every iPhone cases that are being received. The adapter is fairly rigid which means it needs a clearance at the top of the iPhone for the adapter and the plug from the headphones. The Adapter’s headphone jack also fits tightly into most of the other headphone plugs. There is a risk of unplugging the adapter instead of pulling the headphone jack and this can harm the device considerably. There were some obvious questions asked by the audiophiles that whether the Belkin adapter affect the sound quality. It slightly does, but the variation was noticeable only in instant, direct comparison and was small decent that only the most golden eared would notice this affect.
