Maxell HP-21 Headphone/Cell Phone Adapter Kit

 (7 customer reviews)

This bundle is a great value if you need two or more of the items in the package. It contains several useful items:

- A dual-prong adapter that let's you use your own earbuds/headphones on aircraft that use "proprietary" two-prong headsets (common on transoceanic flights). If you've tried to watch a movie in coach on Lufthansa, you know that it's very hard to hear with the airline-supplied headsets. This adapter let's you use your own. Huge improvement.

- A splitter, which let's two people listen to the same iPod at the same time (popular with kids/teens).

- An extension cord, which let's you use wired earbuds/headphones when you're sitting half a room away from the audio jack (I use this sometimes to plug wired headphones into my TV).

- A 3.5mm to 1/4 inch adapter, for plugging mini-jack headphones into equipment like stereo/surround receivers that have only a 1/4 inch jack.

This adapter kit has many useful items, especially if traveling by airplane. During long trans-oceanic flights it's kinda nice to be able to use the plane's AVOD with your own headphones/earbuds. The splitter is cool - allows you to share tunes w others.

For the money, this kit is a great purchase. I wouldn't expect the world's greatest signal from these items but good enough for my purposes.

The connections are perhaps, 'ever so slightly loose' on some devices, so it's probably a good idea to exercise caution when connecting/disconnecting.
