This product is exactly what I needed to fully enjoy my SE w580i's walkman and stereo FM capabilities.
Unfortunately it is very flimsy.
For a daily commuter, the average durability is less than a month.
I have already bought 6 units but cannot find a better quality product.

I bought this for my W580i and my daughter's W810i. I needed a shorter adapter when I am running and using a sports oriented headphones which has a long cord; the stock headphones won't stay put in my ears. The adapter works perfectly; I don't have 2 meters of cords to manage while running anymore.
The only feature I wish it has is the built-in microphone of the original adapter. The phone's mic is disabled while the adapter is plugged in.
For its price and intended purpose, it's definitely a good buy.

As soon as I got it, it seemed flimsy, it does not work with a mic/headset and after using it about 4 times it broke. The pins became very loose and yes I know how to remove it properly like the rest of the sony adapters.

DO NOT BUY!

I have no idea why i bought this product, coz soon after buying this i got the wireless bluetooth headphones, well i guess if i goto a party and some one forgets to bring there ipod to the party and they want music and i brought this there i could play music on it, Sony makes awesome products but some times their ego gets in the way, they should make industry standard connectors on their products, so we won't have to buy products like this. no offense to the product it works fine.

Received the product on time. However the plastic clips wore out after just a few days and the connector won't stay cliped into the phone now. Very disappointed. Would not recommend product

Although this item accomplishes its intended purpose, it does not do so without flaw. I can't complain, since it cost less than $5 shipped, but for anyone interested in purchasing this, know that it has a few minor issues. First, the fit is a little snug, both at the connection to the phone and at the headphone jack. Over time, the phone connection has loosened up a little, but I did worry at first that I might damage my phone with this device. I still worry that I'll strip the gold plating off of my headphones with excessive use. That said, no damage has occurred to this point. I also worry a little about the strength of the short length of wire, as it is very thin and weak-looking. Again, no damage yet, but there is some reason for concern. The only other gripe I have about this is that the sound quality is a little lacking. Music is a little quieter coming through this than through the handsfree device that came with the phone, and the sound is definitely less rich, but that's much less noticeable once the volume is increased. All in all, it was worth the money, since I didn't pay much, and because it doesn't have a call button for me to accidentally bump. It's also nice to have less wire to deal with, so I don't have to use the short-wire headphones that came with the phone or tie off extra wire. All in all, worth the price, but don't expect too much.

This adaptor is great and eforcity service is even greater. My order was shipped immediately, it was on course to arrive in time, however the tracker suddenly mentioned address not deliverable. On checking with USPS they mentioned some mix up at their end resulting in package going back. I sent two emails to eforcity. Got reply in 4 hrs from both, confirming their intention to dispatch another piece and re-confirming address. They shipped without waiting for earlier adaptor to come back. I got my adaptor in time for my out of country visit.

The physical connection between the adapter and the phone is a little tight, but I'm sure it will loosen with time. The sound quality is also excellent (in other words, I don't feel like the adapter has affected the sound quality of my earbuds) and it was a great price. Bottom line: I would definitely recommend this item to anyone with a Sony Ericcson phone!

Now I can use my cell phone instead of my IPOD. I also added a micro sd memory card to my phone to be able to carry the most songs I like.

Awsome works as expected and sound is just as good as out of my ipod... fast shipping
