Mic-Line

I was hesitant to buy this after reading reviews regarding the cable fraying at the connectors. The reviews were a bit old so I hoped the manufacturer took notice and fixed the issue. I could not find any other cables like this so I took a chance. I was pleasantly surprised to find they did indeed update it! I've included a photo that shows my Headset Buddy cable next to an Apple lightning adapter and a Rode SC4. You can clearly see they've beefed up the cable on the Headset Buddy. It's plenty tough and is way better than the Apple or Rode cables. I'm using this cable to feed a timecode signal from my field recorder into my iPhone XR. Without the Headset Buddy, the signal was too hot and was overdriving the input on the iPhone. So, I guess this cable takes line level signals and attenuates them. I don't know the specifics or details, but I can tell you it works perfectly for my application. I still have to use the Apple adapter along with the Headset Buddy, but that's just to be able to plug into the lightning port on my phone. If the manufacturer happens to read these reviews, I noticed on their website a cable just like this Headset Buddy, but with a lightning connector instead of the 3.5mm TRRS. But they no longer offer this cable. Why the heck not!? It would negate the need for the Apple adapter. Please bring it back!

When I first used the cable, there was a terrible buzzing recorded on top of the audio. Because of some of the reviews, I assumed that there was a problem with the construction and took the cable apart thinking I could perhaps fix it. As I took the cable apart, I was surprised to see how solidly the cable was put together. It seemed to be constructed much better than some of the reviews implied. After giving up on fixing it myself, I contacted the seller via email and they quickly responded and sent me another cable. I tried the second cable and found that it had the same buzzing, BUT ONLY WHEN MY IPAD WAS PLUGGED IN! When my iPad was running off battery, the input audio signal was perfect. So now I don't know whether there was even anything wrong with the first cable. I am completely happy with this cable. We are using it to broadcast our church services over Facebook Live using the audio output from the sound board. Works great!

Perfect for recording outgoing voicemail messages from mp3's. No more holding the phone next to the computer and yelling at the dog to shut off the drum machine and put down the guitar. Works great with my Samsung android phones... s4, s7 and s9. Plug and play. I did use a y-adapter to connect a set of headphones in parallel so I could hear the audio as I was recording (to start and stop the recording correctly). Remember to disconnect the adapter from the phone before you try to listen to the recorded message as the phone will be in headphone mode until you do. I enjoy this was very simple and needed no software to work. The phone just responds like this is a wired headset. GET ONE!!! GET TWO! Buy one for all your friends. It will make you happy inside... almost as good as a puppy.

I ordered the "iPhone-Mic-Line" adapter (line level audio adapter with built in attenuator) for connecting an audio mixer to an iPhone. What I received from Amazon was an "iPhone-Mic-ECM" adapter for connecting an eternal microphone (had no attenuation for line level). Found the problem: Amazon had mis-labeled the box that was sent. Tried to use this cable for what I needed, but the 3.5mm jack had an intermittent connection inside it causing lots of static and popping. The GOOD news: Headset Buddy was very responsive and immediately sent me a replacement "iPhone-Mic-Line-Plus" adapter cable, which has an extra jack for a headset output. The BAD news: that cable was also faulty. Same problem as with the first cable: 3.5mm line input jack had an intermittent connection causing lots of static and popping. And yes, I tried several different plugs and cords on my end to prove the problem was in the jack. There is obviously a major quality control problem in manufacturing these cables. UPDATE 05/07/20 - Headset Buddy sent me another "iPhone-Mic-Line-Plus" adapter cable to replace the faulty one, and this cable worked! The line input jack seems to hold the plug tighter, and does not produce static and popping. This replacement cable works as advertised! Thank you Headset Buddy for the excellent support. SIDE NOTE: Make sure to have your line input plugged into the adapter cable before plugging it into your iPhone. The iPhone lightning port must "see" the correct impedance being plugged in to recognize it as a "microphone" and therefore disable the phone's built-in mic.

Update: It does work with a mixer. The original one that was sent to me was poorly soldered to the resistor as others have noted in the reviews. If you know how to solder, you can easily fix the solder on the resistor. The company is very responsive and sent me the latest version which is secured much better. It has worked for months and continues working. I’ve only used it with an iPhone 6s, 7, and 8 (with lightning to analog audio adapter). This product does not introduce noise. The lightning to analog audio adapter introduces noise. This adapter is mono only (no stereo). Worked when recording the audio from my laptop, but didn't work when I used it with a mixer. I bought this primarily to feed audio into my iPhone for Facebook Live, but I wasn't able to get it to work today.

Love this cable, perfect for live streaming!

après une petite dizaine de jours d'attente (adaptateur en provenance d'Austin, Texas) j'ai enfin reçu le dispositif que j'ai donc branché sur la sortie audio d'une "vieille" platine vinyle puis connectée sur la prise casque de mon Iphone SE. Grace à l'application AIRCHORD, je n'avais plus qu'à envoyer le son de la platine sur un homepod et quel plaisir d'avoir les craquements du vinyle sur cette enceinte ;) Cela marche parfaitement pour moins de 20 euros !

top gerät. stabile kabel und stecker macht ein iphone line-in fähig. musik direkt in garageband!!!!! ohne itunes und nicht über mic genial! mit adapter auch mit flachstecker/ iphone ladeeingang!

Lo quería para reducir el sonido de mi cámara y pues no hay ninguna diferencia con él y sin el

I would like to purchase another. Can’t fund this product on the search.

È l’unica soluzione che permette di far entrare dentro uno smartphone un audio (per registrare sull’app MemoVocali o altra app-audio) proveniente da una uscita cuffia (cioè da una cuffia di un altro smartphone, un ipod, una radio, una telecamera ...) perchè porta il segnale audio a “linea”, permettendo al nostro smartphone di riconoscerlo e registrarlo
