This product is suppose to allow you to charge your phone wile listening to music with your ear buds. However, a distinct HUM comes through the ear buds when playing music and charging. If you remove the charging wire, the hum goes away and you can listen to music just fine. I reported this before and the vendor sent me another unit. However, this one also had the HUM. So the issue is clearly a design flaw and the unit simply does not work without making the hum.

I used it in the car. I plugged it in the cigarette lighter to charge the phone and with another wire plugged it in my car radio and I could hear the HUM. When I removed the charge wire, the hum went away.

I would NOT Recommend this product, unless you like hearing a HUM with your music while charging the phone.

Thank you

I like my G1 but for the fact that I can't use standard headphones, and for that matter, that I can't charge my phone while listening to music. This little gadget provides me the functionality that should have been in the phone. There was another web site with a similar device selling for $20.

It works great. Someone mentioned the problem with the music port; I wonder if it's his cable rather than the device, as I have no problem. I even tried wiggling the cable around and didn't hear any problems.

So, a cheap little device that adds a lot of value to my phone.

Ordered not sure if it would work or not for my mytouch phone, as I heard someone had an issue with it. Figured 8 bucks was worth the risk, and it was. Works flawlessly, I can charge my phone while streaming music in my car to my stereo using a 3.5mm audio cable.

I have a Touch Pro, which comes with a different adapter that is nearly as long as the device itself. The cable is also rigid, which makes it look ridiculous when using it to listen to music on headphones. More problematic, it's prone to bumping and damaging the delicate ExtuUSB connections on the phone.

I bought one of these adapters to address those concerns while listening to music. With the flimsy cable and smaller adapter box, it doesn't look idiotic and is not as likely to catch on things. It comes at a price, however. There seems to be little to no electronic filtering, so if you simultaneously plug the adapter into headphones (or an auxiliary cable or tape adapter)and an external power source (such as a power adapter, PC USB connection, or car power adapter), you will hear a lot of static.

So I keep the standard adapter on hand for when I'm driving or working and listening at a PC and this adapter for when I'm active and listening. Actually, I have multiples of both spread around my home and workplace, because they're so easy to lose or forget.

Thank goodness HTC intends to include 3.5 mm jacks on all future models.

The product works well and the shipment was fast.
I recommend it.
The best price.
I'm using it on my HTC TYTN.

I bought this at the same time as the HTC OEM adaptor because of mixed reviews about both. I've used it with headphones and with the line-in on my sound system, powered and unpowered. The sound is clean and clear. My phone (HTC Magic with software version 2.1) functions normally when this adaptor is plugged in. My only concern is that construction is a little flimsy. I'm not sure how well it will stand up to regular use. The HTC adaptor is far more robust.

I have no idea what the poster below was talking about re: not being able to charge and listen at the same time: just make sure to plug the charger into the *USB* port, not the ExtUSB daisy-chain port. I have a 1/8" stereo cable connected to my car's AUX input and a USB charger plugged in every time I'm in the car, and it works great.

When I use the adapter, I get some static and interference noise from the headphones. Due to that, I only use it when I really have to. Unfortunately that defeats the purpose if I let my battery drain and wait until it's low to use the adapter.

This should be yellow instead of black because it's a lemon! I gave it one star only because it worked for about 2 hrs. I bought this spitter for a roadtrip so I can listen to music and charge my phone at the same time. the splitter starting skipping the music afer about 2 hrs! It was weird...if I had it playing my music it would fwd to the next song in less than 5 seconds of the song that was playing. If I was listening to pandora it would do the same thing ie. forward to the next song. I even tried it at home while running errands. It didnt last an hour! I would like to say this says nothing about the seller as he/she was very prompt. However, it would be niceget my $ back or a new one.

I ordered this one for a friend of mine. He hasn't had any problems yet, therefore i assumed it has been a normal and absolutely worried free product of amazon.
