I ordered a stereo headset adapter for my cell phone. The item description said it would fit my phone. It did not. It wasn't even the same SKU number. Since it was not the item I ordered I gave BargainCell a negative feedback. At first, BargainCell e-mailed me that they would be willing to replace the item. After requesting a repalacement, BargainCell said they would only replace/refund if I removed the negative feedback. Finally, I contacted Amazon.com about the problem and was refunded my purchase price directly from Amazon.com. Since then, I have received e-mails from BargainCell stating that they had not received any coorespndence from me and they would be happy to replace/refund but only if I return the wrong item first at my expense. I had sent 4 e-mails to BargainCell via Amazon.com. I would STRONGLY advise to never purchase from BargainCell. Amazon.com did, however, easily honor their guarantee.

One reason I got my w580i phone was to use it as a mp3 player. Unfortunately the connector cable was waayyy too long, so I purchased this adaptor which was only a few inches long. It worked great for the first couple weeks and then I had difficulty plugging it into my phone. It got to the point where I had to jam it in for it to connect. The little prongs must be messed up now because when i plug it in i can barely hear anything. poor quality, but at least i only wasted $3. also, shame on sony ericsson for making such a strange adapter necessary...why cant we just plug headphones straight into the phone?

My fault - I thought that this adapter would fit my new C905a cellphone, and was not included in the listing of acceptable phones because of the cell's newness.

This adapter does not fit the C905a.

On the other hand - besides having an unusual plug why doesn't Sony-Ericsson standardize? Why complicate design, stocking and production. YIKES.

It might be bright for someone to make an adapter for headsets too, although most of us will use a Bluetooth headset, not a wired one.

FWIW - per my previous comments, the C905a is seriously harmed by the poor (grade F-) manual. And AT&T's wanting $0.20 for a text message that costs them almost zero to transmit? The New AT&T is not going far with that attitude - and pricing. LOL let's vote for the OLD wonderful AT&T!

The products this company sells are JUNK. None of the items I ordered worked with my devices, although they said they would. Buyer beware!

It was a solid product that was delivered on time. It works well with the phone (w760a).

Ok, so the thing is is that it worked "ok". For some time. and now there is a shortage in it!!!! every time i plug it in to listen to music it messes up....

As long as Sony uses those infuriating proprietary connectors, adapters like this will be needed. I'm using a W518a phone and have had no problems with this adapter.

One of the biggest problems with cell phones is that all of them use proprietary attachments, meaning you cannot mix and match. I have a Sony Ericcson 580i cell phone/Walkman that came with ear buds and a rectangular jack to attach to the phone. However, I wanted to use headphones instead of buds. It took a search, but I found this adapter and with the 3.5mm female jack, I could insert my 3.5mm male jack from my headphones directly to the cell phone. The sound is great. This only set me back about $3.00 which is better than Radio Shacks prices. It still annoys the hell out of me that every piece of electronic device I have needs it own styled jack or plug, but at least this works.

These work great for a few days, but then the wiring shorts start to interfere with all sound transmission. They are only a penny, but after shipping (around 4 dollars each), you would expect them to last much longer than a few days at a time. I purchased three, and needed a replacement product ( Sony Ericsson HPM77) within 10 business days, that's an average of just 3 days use each! If you need a cheap solution for your phone, these are it, but remember you get what you pay for.

These connectors for walkman are of poor design. I started with 2 and have replaced them with 5 more. I have owned this phone 14 month. You decide.
