UPDATE February 2, 2017!
Hey everyone! I found a solution for getting these to work properly on the aluminum macbook pros and iphones!!
The problem is that that the bodies of these are metal and so is the face of the pin, and the headset buddy shorts out on the case of the phone or computer. Many MFG's like RODE have plastic on the base of the 3.5mm jack or use on O-Ring. I solved the issue by using one of those tiny vinyl hair ties my wife has kicking around, breaking it, tying it around the jack and then snipping the ends off. It creates a kind of O-Ring. You have to push the jack in pretty hard to get it to fire up but it works and once in sees to stay. I also tried a tiny bit of electrical tape I cut into a thin strip with scissors but the elastic band thingy works better.
I thought of maybe using liquid electrical tape or something but it has worked so I haven't bothered yet.
Tried two of these so far. Bought one and used it to record some audio to an iphone 6 plus using a Sennheiser ew100 G3 Wireless Lav mic and it worked great. Next time I went to use it, nothing. Couldn't figure it out, and finally broke down and bought another. Guess what. It worked! Then I unplugged it, and plugged it in again a few minutes later to do a test with my wife. Nothing. For some reason, you unplug and it it fries something inside or something. The G3's have phantom power, so I'm guessing it has something to do with that, but I have no idea how you would avoid killing this with wireless mic.
