Question: I need an adapter for plantronics headset MX500C, 2.5 plug, to my samsung phone 3.5 connector. Will this work for both sound and microphone?
Document: Description says &#34;Phone Headset to iPhone/Blackberry/Smartphone Adapter&#34;. It doesn't work for this. No sound from earpiece and my voice, as picked up by the microphone, is severely distorted and echoey. Picture and description say it has 3 rings. It only has 2. It needs 3 rings to allow use of a 2.5mm plug telephone headset on a smartphone w/a 3.5 mm plug. Requested a refund. Vendor never replied.
Product arrived quickly and intact with adequate packaging. I bought this to convert one of my 2.5mm hands free headsets to use with my Fascinate phone that has a 3.5mm plug. I was able to hear with the ear buds but the connector does not allow for the microphone to work for communication. So the connector would make the conversion for sound but not voice. It might be related to the type of phone and no fault of the connector. This item received higher reviews than several other converter plugs.
There seems to be a lot of confusion about what this adapter is for. Most of the bad reviews are from people who bought the wrong product for their needs.WHAT IT DOES: Connect a mono, telephone-style headset with microphone with 2.5mm plug to a 3.5mm cell phone. It works perfectly for that application.I dial into a lot of conference calls for work, and my Bluetooth doesn't have good enough sound quality for that.
This was claimed to adapt an android headset jack to a 2.5 mm headset cable. It does not work. the headphones mostly work but the level from the microphone is so low as to be unusable. Another headset with the Android 3.5 mm 3 ring connector was purchased and that works very well on the same phone.
I read many of the reviews, and wasn't sure if this would work for me but it did!! I have an LG Lucid smart phone. I bought a Plantronics MX150 Flexible Boom Headset with 2.5 mm Plug, and bought this adapter to use with it. Just got them both in the mail, and they both work - hearing and speaking. I would definitely recommend this product! !
This is a good adapter for any 2.5 mm earbuds that need to fit your 3.5 mm electronics. I have them for my iPhone 3GS to be able to use a plantronics headset for Skype, and my daughter just received a Kindle Fire for Christmas, which also has a 3.5 mm jack. Her earbuds are all 2.5 so this is all we needed.
Reading the many reviews here and having experienced this myself I can only conclude that these adapters are about 30% defective. I bought mine to work with a plantronics M214C headset and Samsung phone and most of the time the microphone did not work at all. However, when I would spin the adapter around it would *occasionally* work with lots of static. So clearly this is the right type of adapter, but it also happens to be a piece of junk.
This is supposed to convert 2.5mm stereo cell phone headset to 3.5mm.I have a Samsung Epic Android phone with 3.5mm jack. I tried two different 2.5mm stereo headsets (both with microphones) and in both cases I was able to listen to the audio through the right earpiece only but the microphone did not work.I also tried this adapter with a mono single-ear headset with microphone.
I bought this to let me use my Plantronics Xbox Headset with my new Galaxy S4 smartphone. I've been using that headset for years, with a variety of flipphones. It uses a 2.5mm connection, and does both speakers and microphone signals at the same time. It's always worked perfectly. My new S4 uses a 3.5mm connection, though. I bought this adapter because one of the question/answers mentioned it worked well. It doesn't!When it's plugged in, the sound does come through.
You'd need a 2.5mm plug with a tip and three rings for a stereo telephone phone headset, just like the 3.5mm version.Thus, an adapter such as this one will only work with one type of connection, and you cannot tell by looking at it.
Answer: I bougtht this adapter so I could use my Plantronics wired headset [don't recall the model] which has a 2.5 male plug into my Apple iPhone which needed a 3.5 male plug... and....it's worked great!
