I bought 10 of these from the seller Amamax thinking they'll work as well as other gold(plated) adapters that I currently have or at least as well as the black plastic ones but I was wrong.
These came individually sealed in small plastic pouches. The first few that I opened did not work at all. I realized that the tips of these adapters are made of some sort of composite materials and not the same material as the rest of the adapter as I can clearly see the seams on the tip and the gold plating on the tip is matte whereas elsewhere it is shiny. Upon further inspection, I noticed the 3.5mm hole where the earphone/headphone is plugged into this adapter is a little loose and would not make contact with the earphone plug. Some of the adapters would just fall right off from gravity. In comparison to the other gold(plated) headphone adapters that I owned, these are longer yet much lighter and doesn't snap onto the earphone plugs. The 3.5mm female side of the adapter sticks out further than almost twice that of other gold(plated) adapters that I own.
I own several earphones and headphones ranging from $10-$300 and tried them all on the defective adapters to make sure it wasn't that my earphone tips were a little small. None of the defective adapters worked on any of my earphones or headphones. I gave up hope and didn't even open a few of them after seeing how bad these were.
I contacted the seller (Amamax) to try to have the seller provide some sort of customer service but instead they treated me as if I was lying and didn't know what I was talking about. They said that they have not had even one defective out of the ten of thousands that they sold which is obviously hard to believe given the number of bad ratings on here. They even turned around and questioned if in fact I own high-end earphones and headphones as I stated if I were using their cheap adapters. Whether I do or not isn't relevant and has no bearing on the defective adapters. The fact is these adapters are horrible in my experience with them.
These were not even worth paying for shipping to return to them as it would eat into the shipping fees. If you were to buy one, go ahead and take a chance. However, if you're thinking about grabbing a few...don't. Spend your money on some higher quality ones as you would probably spend just about the same when taking into account of about half of what you receive may be defective.
I may post a comparison video when I have time.
