Recoton CW1521 Audio 1/4-Inch to 1/8-Inch Stereo Adapter (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

i originally ordered three stereo plugs and they sent me three mono plugs. Since the price was so small, I decided to let it fly, but did write a not so good review. They immediately got back to me and said they'd send another order out. They did, but again they sent the mono plugs. This time i photographed them and showed them that they again sent the wrong plugs. The other day i finally received three stereo plugs. I appreciate the effort they made to correctly fulfill this order. They, apparently, had some issues with inventory (probably dumped mono plugs into stereo plug bin) but they did send me 6 of the mono plugs before sending me the correct order.

As another reviewer pointed out, the picture in this listing is a monaural adapter, showing only one band around the plug, where stereo plugs have two. I took a chance that the written description was accurate -- that this was a stereo 1/4" to 1/8" adapter. I needed it right away, so I had it overnighted.What I received was not only a monaural, not stereo, adapter, it wasn't even a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter. What I received was a mono-to-stereo 1/8" to 1/8" adapter.With this kind of uncertainty you might want to opt for a different item with a clearer, more consistent listing.

I should have never ordered this item. Should have read the negative reviews first. Save yourself the $2.40. Got this thing and the first day it breaks. My speaker fell off my desktop and the plug broke right off like it was nothing. Not worth the metal its made with. Don't order it. I decided to take the loss of my $2.40 since I'd rather not deal with customer service, even if I could get a refund.

It takes the big plug and makes it a little plug. Not much else to say. It does it job and is incredibly stylish.UPDATE: after trying to use this for a while I noticed that the insides are such junk that I had to tape the daylights out of it to hold it just so to get sound to come out. Bought a different adapter and the headset I have works perfectly. I would pass on this one.

It's nearly impossible to find a mono adapter such as this. I use it to connect a 1/4" guitar cable to my Line 6 Mobile In to use with my iPad. The reason being is that the stock cable that came with the unit was inferior to cables that I already owned (Mogami & Monster) and this little adapter solved a huge headache.

I ordered this jack to be able to interface the 1/4-inch cable output from my guitar with a 1/8-inch input for recording. When I tried it out for the first time, my device didn't record any audio input. I pulled out an oscilloscope to see where the problem was, and after a few tests found that the adapter simply didn't work. The output of my guitar gave a proper signal, and I detected the same signal on the end of the 1/4-inch cable that I was inputting into the adapter. No signal was detected on the 1/8-inch male end of the adapter.I would not recommend purchasing this product.

Very simple, but very useful product. I purchased this back in 2011and it still works great today. No complaints.

I used this to hook up my microphone to computer and it works well. All microphones really are 1/4 hacks so if u bought this and decided to hook up to computer it will work. I love that it is stereo. Overall its a good buy came fast in the mail and I would recommend this.
