I've had this adapter for about a year. I bought it for use with my JVC 'shrooms and the iPhone 4. This was meant to be a temporary fix until something of better quality came out. Sad to say, but there still isn't anything better after an e n t i r e year. I think it's safe to say that Apple or China is inhibiting the mic adapter market for iDevices. But I digress politically...
In the beginning of my experience, the adapter was a great fix for a harsh vacancy. One who loves music must surely spit when apples earbuds are mentioned. The voice quality was crisp and I didn't detect any loss of quality for music. The volume slider worked great.
Then, after one month of use, the clip decided it was through with life and promptly split at the hinge. Being the ghetto genius I am, I modded the hinge part with a paper clip and continued.
After about seven months of use the wire at the plug end began to decay, showing clear stress signs. Shortly thereafter, it separated revealing the inner guts. It took some heatshrink with electric tape to create a suitable fix. Needless to say, it became unattractive at this point.
About a month ago, I began encountering intermittent interference while on voice calls. Unfortunately it's steadily become a receiver for a gremlin minimalist band that loves to chip at my sanity with bits and bops. Talking over the sequential patterns is like trying to sing under a Chinese water torture device. It is freaking irritating. I notice that tapping/lightly slamming the volume control/control button/ microphone case seems to deliver an instant encore.
It's dead Jim.
Now after much research I find that there is still no better option. The Shure MPA-C3 is oddly vacant from the face of the planet. Griffin smart talk is described as coming apart after a month, Monster has issues with destroying pocketed iphones, and Audio-Technica has build quality issues that are almost as bad as the Griffin smart talk adapter. Just the mention of any of these aberrations makes me recoil. The saving grace is that while this brandless adapter is disposable, it's also cheap to replace. I'll be purchasing this again but this time I'll modify the heck out of it. Gorilla glue, heatshrink and some steel iBeams for good measure.

I'm using this adapter on a Motorola Droid. It works great. The volume control works. People tell me that my voice is quite clear. The plug that plugs into the phone is low-profile, so I don't worry that it will catch on something and break off in the phone or damage the 3.5mm jack. The clip opens wide to grab onto, e.g., a thick coat collar, and it has a strong spring. The button mutes during a phone call and pauses while listening to podcasts. Works better than some devices I've tried that cost 3 times as much. I only wish it had controls to fast-forward and rewind podcasts, but I suspect those functions aren't available on the Motorola Droid headset jack. Oh, and delivery was very prompt, only about 3 days by USPS.

This is just a short, crappy review I'm putting up so that you know this is the real deal.

Lasted 2 weeks
After 2 weeks this thing already only played back audio in mono (one ear) rather than stereo (both ears). Bought from XiTech, a total piece of crap. Don't waste your money!

Worked for a month
These devices with a remote button are hard to find if you want something that actually works. First I bought one that was cheaper -- the Monster iSoniTalk Microphone. Read more

Died in <3 months
I am accustomed to similar items lasting less than a year, but this one lasted only 2-1/2 mos. before dying -- just long enough that I apparently cannot return it for a refund.

Not So Good
The connection is iffy in the first place: and in the second, people can not hear me as well as through the phone or my bluetooth headest. Not well enough to have a conversation.

You get what you pay for
I've bought three of these because, frankly, they're cheap enough to be more or less disposable. The last one lasted the longest, because I learned my lesson from the first two and... Read more

Functional, but just barely

Breaks so quickly
I buy these adapters for one reason: so I can have an inline pause button so I don't have to fish out the ipod to pause. Read more
