This adaptor seems like a good idea until the tips pops out after a while and gets stuck WAY DEEP in the 1/4" plug on your gear. This is the second one that's done that, and it's really about time I've learned my lesson. What happens in this adaptor is that the tip and ring are attached badly, and because most 1/4" plugs contact on one side, it loosens the assembly and evently you loose it deep in the recesses of your expensive equipment, causing you to need to disassemble the gear to go in and get the parts back out (as I did with a mixer and an amp) or if you can't get at the back of the plug, you'll have to send it out to a tech and pay money to have the work done. Do yourself a favor and buy a big, lovable, clunky old molded one. I've never had molded ones break except for the outer cladding cracking sometimes.

In short, it doesn't do its job very well. It introduces distortion. Wiggling the adapter makes it painfully obvious where the problem is coming from.

I've tested with another adapter and had no issues at all leaving me no doubt that this piece of junk is the cause.

An audio plug adaptor is made to do one thing, make connections between output and input possible. And this thing does so. Not much else to say, really.

Yep, this will work for you. But why pay over $10.00 for something with the Sony brand on it, when you can get a no name brand that is just as good, will work just as well, and costs around two bucks?

I have a bag of these and they come in handy in my work. But save yourself some money and get a generic like the ARISTA 16-097 3.5mm (Mini) to 6.3mm (1/4") Headphone Adapter.

But watch for the shipping, which many times will cost you a lot more than the adapter itself!

Not much to it, but it allowed me to hook up new noise cancelling headphones to the soundboard at church!

Received product in a timely manner. Quality of product was good. Product performed well in the purpose that it was ordered for. Thanks

I bought the Audio Plug Adapter with Sony Headphones MDR-V6. I unwrapped the headphones & found an adapter already included. I now have TWO adapters.

Good to have a few of these hanging around - I just hate it when my adapters go bad.

I often use my headphones in 1/8 inch jacks or 1/4 inch jacks. This adapter allows me to easily accommodate either. It works well.

Some plug adaptors are cheaply built and make poor electrical contact when installed but not this one. It's solidly built of all metal and works like a charm. Highly recommended!
