CableWholesale XLR Female to 1/4-Feet Mono Male Adaptor (30XR-12200)

Whats not to love, inexpensive, and does it's job....After reading some of the rather poor reviews, I checked it out for signs of poor quality or workmanship... Only thing I found was that the pin rockrd a bit... there were three screws in the body that I used a screwdiriver to tighten up.. .I suspect that complaints of falling apart could have been from missing or loose screws... Not much of a chore. I did back out the screws a bit and added a drop of clear nail polish on the threads for some insurance that it would not loosen up...Anyway, that is the view from where I sit...Just got it and used it, I will add to the post if things turn bad..

Does the job, nothing fancy. It's sturdy enough and they've obviously thought about whether several will fit next to each other (which I hadn't!), which they do!

I see mixed reviews here. At this price, no telling what the quality control is like but as I wrote in another review on this type of item, you can buy 3 of these and if one fails, you're still ahead of the game. They're so much less expensive than what one will typically find in a guitar or electronics store, well worth taking a chance. Mine seems to be fine, doesn't look or feel flimsy at all. I can't see any difference between this and what I buy in a retail package.

The set screws that hold the quarter inch part of the jack in the housing dosn't hold it from a slight pivot. I'm not sure if it's because the machined parts do not seat properly or a design flaw. I tried to tighten the screws but I believe it is the result of an inexpensive part. Anyway it does work and I havn't had any problem with it.

Loved every minute of this shopping experience. Easy to order, cheap as sin, and came in next to no time. First off, it's solid. Nice heft to it and you don't think your going to break it going into your cord. Works great, obviously not pro quality. If you're looking for pro quality then you probably have xlr jacks available for you. But it's great for stop gap measure. Works great.

These little mic connectors are just what the doctor ordered, allowing me to spare wear and tear on my systems mic jacks; I simply unplug the cord from the adapter instead. And, they produce no audible hum into the circuit. They are unbalanced jacks, though (note the single black band at the end of the plug,) so if you need balanced jacks for your system (those with two black bands,) make sure you take that into account before ordering. By the way, I have both and there is no audible difference whether singing or recording. Just saying...

Does what it is supposed to. Careful when converting sound too much; quality will be lost.I bought this after getting a SHURE microphone and needed a way to get it into my PC. I recommend getting an Icicle XLR to USB instead, as it comes with a preamp in it as well. If I had known about that, I wouldn't have bought this.

I've literally never written a review for an Amazon product, though I purchase hundreds or more of dollars through Amazon each year. I'm a 30+ year veteran musician, so I have strong feelings about poor quality products. I'd hoped to save some money buying these Chinese knock-off adapters - bad move. I ordered a pair. Within about 3 months, one of them had broken - the guts fell right out. I attributed it to some right angle torque on the 1/4" end, so I ordered another (and a right angle 1/4" adapter to boot, to keep the torque off). Today that replacement broke as well, after only about 2 months normal use. (By normal, keep in mind, we're using them to adapt Shure mics down from cannon to 1/4" to play some home Karaoke. They've probably got about 6-8 uses on them before they break.They're cheap, for sure, so buying one every three months and letting it break may be okay for some folks. But it's getting old for me. Going to step up (in quality, and no doubt, price).Use these at your own risk.
