Product Description
Belkin's new Headphone Adapter for iPhone uses a specially shaped headphone plug that fits in iPhone's recessed headphone port. The Headphone Adapter thereby enables virtually any pair of pre-iPhone headphones or earphones to work with iPhone's uniquely-shaped top surface -- for users of premium earphones, a superior alternative to junking your old favorites in favor of replacements. Though its central portion looks like hard plastic, it's actually flexible, and bends with the cables you attach.

 Coda's Review
The adapter not connect well, so the sound comes from iPhone for only one channel.

 Great price for an iPhone necessity
This product is so expensive everywhere else (My room mate paid double what I paid). Amazon has the best prices on iPhone accessories.

WOW, THANK YOU BEN FOR THE USER UPLOADED PICTURES
The first thing I did was laugh, that was just too funny.
I was about to buy an item on eBay, but before doing so I headed to my trusty Amazon to check for reviews, as I always do.
Anyway, thanks to Ben's uploaded pic... I am STAYING AWAY.
Just look at that thing! It's like attaching a pen to your iPhone, and it's retro motorola cellphone gray colored, to top it off!
Thanks again Amazon peeps for uploading pics, and helping me run away from this purchase.
I was trying to purchase a branded adapter, but I guess I have no choice but to buy the black iphone adapters from ebay for $3.00

It works, sort of.
This adapter does work. However, notice that it only has 3 contacts instead of 4 like the iphone headset has. After you use this adapter, when you unplug it, the microphone on your iphone will be disabled. You will not be able to talk to people on the phone. If you reboot the iphone, everything will be fine - until you use the adapter again. Buy an adapter with 4 contacts. Walmart sells an adapter set (with 5 different pieces) by Schosche for about $10. It is much better.

Ugly Grey Mass; Failed After 1 Month of Use
1. Its horribly ugly; I almost always found myself trying to hide it with my hand when I took my sleek iPhone out of my pocket.
2. It's like a 2 inch thick grey antenna from a 1980s cellphone.
3. After less than 1 month of use, I began only hearing sound out of one headphone anytime the adapter was flexed or bent even slightly. Of course, it is also flimsy and impossible to keep perfectly straight.
4. Did I mention this is the ugliest, most worthless adapter I've ever had? Thanks for the speed of release Belkin, but you guys really face-planted on this one.
