Works with Samsung Galaxy S

Reverses the screen and ring 2 so you can use iphone specific headsets on other phones.

In my case I was trying to use
Altec Lansing 'Muzx Ultra' Noise Isolating Headphones

with
Samsung I9000 Galaxy S Sim Free Mobile Phone

I can confirm the phase reversal/hollowness has been corrected to the audio output.
The centre button of the headset now works with the phone. The other buttons don't work with my phone, but I wasn't expecting this as my phone doesn't claim to support remote volume controls.
The Mic on the headset is also functioning now as a result of using this cable.

I thought £5.99 a bit steep, but the quality of cable and connectors looks good. Gold connectors both ends, and Oxygen Free Copper cable apparently. I like having the angled connector at the phone end.
The length seems just about right.
As to the durability, time will tell, but it seems well made.

Kinda works, Sony Xperia Arc

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2014

Kinda works with Sony Xperia Arc. I does not work "out of the box", you have to instead by pass the microphone by holding the mic button (pause button) while connecting the headphones with the adapter, keep holding it for about 2-3 seconds. After that the sound works perfect, not halved like it was without the adaptor. Bose AE2i is the headphones I tested with.
I would not recommend this adaptor for Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, if you want it to work flawless.

Will not work with Apple Earpods (Their own headphones included with iPhones)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2017

!!!Be aware when purchasing as the price is steep for a small adapter!!!

Manufacturer advertises everywhere that this works for converting apple specific heaphones to allow use in many other devices by switching the ground and mic poles around, which it does, but it does not work for apple earpods. It may be something to do with how the earpods work themselves, but basically when using this adapter in my computer (With a headphone microphone splitter) or with a ps4 the volume is halved for some strange reason and the microphone does not work. a click sound is picked up instead when the volume buttons are pressed.

Ended up buying a pair of Phillips Freshtones headphones (not the wireless ones) from argos for £15 as they have the same fit as earpods, and similar sound quality. They work perfectly with my PC and also PS4

Well when I received this cable it originally didnt work with my phone (Xperia Play). How ever after doing a tiny bit of research I found out that if I hold down the mic button on my Headphones(Sound of Marley Headphones)the sound comes through perfect. So with a bit of DIY job I taped the button down and now it works great. So try this before writing it off cos I struggled to find any other adapter that worked correctly.

Fiio, what would we do without you?

Amazingly handy little adapter for (by example) if you bought a pair of these Sony Ericsson MH1-BL LiveSound Hi-Fi Headset - Black fantastic little earphones, only to find they don't work with your device...

This in a nutshell is for any old (and bearing the cost, treasured) wired headset that you try to use on a modern mobile phone, and it either only sounds like an echo chamber or - worse, that you get a display pop up on screen saying that your headset is incompatible with your device... this fixes either scenario...

On the flip side, if you have a modern headset, and an older mobile phone handset, this will reverse the new headset to work on the old phone ;o)

Well worth the money :)

A TRRS cable with the RS part crossed over.

Got a 2011 Sony Ericsson phone like me (mine's an Xperia Play) and having difficulties getting a good pair of headphones w/ inline mike to work with them? Are you getting the "not compatible" message? In that case, this is what you need. The right angle plug end is great when the jack is on the side of the phone. I haven't tried the iPhone claim as mentioned in the description, but it worked for my needs. Check this xda post if you want more information on the issues that can crop up with TRRS headphones: [...] It's very informative.

Doesn't work with klipsch Image X11i and Galaxy Nexus

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2014

Looks good and the finish is ok, but doesn't work with klipsch Image X11i and Galaxy Nexus.The sound is very very low. For the volume is normal must be constantly pressed the center button.

Fortunately (and surprisingly) my Galaxy Nexus Android works correctly with the pair X11i for Iphone!!! No adapter is required. (I bought the adapter before the Klipsch)

The mic works. The center button same thing, with all the features of android in-ears. Logically, the volume buttons do not work

In time, ended being broken, so at least my piece didn't handle the harshness of intense every-day use biking with it, with my galaxy S + headphones. But the price was ok for the time it lasted.

Cable plaqué OR

Reviewed in France on 12 April 2014

Verified Purchase

Pour faire simple ce câble permet de faire fonctionner un kit mains libre "compatible Iphone, ipad, ipod" sur son wiko ou autre téléphone low cost. Il n'y a aucune perte sonore, le bouton raccrocher décrocher ainsi que le micro fonctionnent très bien. Seul bémol, la télécommande volume des mains libres conçu pour apple, ne fonctionnent pas et c'est pas grave!
Je peux enfin mettre mon casque running Phillips sur mon wiko.
Le prix du câble est par contre trop élevé pour 9euros. Sur les site US on peut le chopper pour 4 dollars et frais de port gift... Bon quand même 4 étoiles car l'envoie est parfait et suivi coliposte.

Nützlicher Adapter für Samsung Galaxy SI9000

Reviewed in Germany on 1 January 2013

Verified Purchase

Wir haben für unseren Sohn, der ein Samsung Galaxy SI9000 besitzt, die Apple Earpods gekauft Apple EarPods mit Fernbedienung und Mikrofon , da er mit den herkömmlichen In-Ear-Kopfhörern Probleme hat.
Angeblich sollten diese auch kompatibel mit einem Samsung-Smartphone sein - in unserem Fall war es leider so, dass der volle Klang erst zu hören war, wenn man die Mikrofontaste gedrückt hielt. Auf der Suche nach einer Lösung sind wir dann auf diese beiden Adapter FiiO LU1 Adapterkabel - Verwenden Sie das iPhone bestimmte Kopfhörer auf verschiedene Marken von Telefon und Fiio LU2 Adapter Cable - use of iPhone specific headphones on different brands of phone gestossen.
Wir haben uns für den LU2 mit dem abgewinkelten Stecker entschieden, in der Hoffnung, dass der abgewinkelte Stecker eine etwas längere Lebensdauer hat, wenn er in Jacken- und Hosentaschen gestopft und gelagert wird.
Der Funktionstest fiel positiv aus - der Klang war voll da, die Funktionen für Mikrofon, Laut und Leise wie erwartet nicht, aber das ist für unseren Sohn auch nicht wichtig gewesen.
Der Stecker ist hochwertig verarbeitet und man kann die sogar die "Echtheit" auf der Herstellerseite mittels eines Codes überprüfen.

Wir sind sehr zufrieden und können diesen Adapter uneingeschränkt empfehlen, wenn es Kompatibilitätsprobleme von Apple-Kopfhörern auf ein Samsung Galaxy-Smartphone SI9000 gibt.
