Most Helpful First | Newest FirstWorks as described, turned my BlackJack into an ipod ;)
I got this from Eforcity ship super fast. For the price this product is great, I thik price is just introductory so I picked up 2, shipping is per piece so beware.
I did not have the cracking sound problem as described but when I asked eforcity about it, they say said if it happens they will replace.
Not a bad item.
Prefect!
It does exactly what it is supposed to: It allows you to plug a regular ("universal") headset into the port on a Samsung BalckJack phone.
Popping noise annoying
Probably not as much to do with this product as with the Blackjack, but the popping sound between songs, when the audio is turned on/off, is very annoying. I suspect there can be a solution by adding some sort of noise filtering on the adapter.
It can be mitigated by using faders (so the audio does not go on/off), but it is still persistent, and the fader solution requires a 3rd party product (like PocketPlayer).
I used two different adapters (I purchased two, one for my phone and one for another Samsung) -- it does not seem to be a problem on the other Samsung model (A707).
I'll be using a bluetooth wireless earphones from here on out.
Big Design Flaw & Slow Service
This seemed like a bargain, extended delivery delay notwithstanding. However, the sound is awful. I ordered two, and both produce tinny sound and loud, unbearable clicking noises. And one literally cracked and fell apart after one use. The price was great, but ultimately a rip-off for the delivered product.
I got one from Cingular (at a higher price), and the sound is perfect. It saved me from having to buy a new mp3 player. With a 2G microSD card and the headset adapter to accommodate my regular headphones, presto!, no need for an iPod.
Just buy it from somewhere else!
Works but nearly useless
This works fine to listen to music from your smartphone, but doing so kills your battery so quickly that I feel required to carry an MP3 player as well
