iPhone Headphone Jack Adaptor review

£6 inc VAT

Manufacturer: Proporta

Our Rating: We rate this 4 out of 5

By | 22 May 08

Proporta’s iPhone Headphone Jack Adaptor is flexible and is 135mm long.

One of the annoying things about the iPhone’s design is its inability to accept many third-party headphone jacks. The headphone jack on the iPhone is recessed several millimetres, so standard headphones won’t fit in the jack.

At £5.95 Proporta’s iPhone Headphone Jack Adaptor is one of the cheapest around, and if Belkin’s adaptor is too stubby and rigid for you this model could be just the trick. (But, please Apple, allow standard headphone jacks on the 3G iPhone.)
