This jack is a little difficult to use. The standard stereo mini-plug cannot be fully inserted and make good contacts. It must be withdrawn about 3/16 of an inch to work.

I'm using this to connect 3.5mm microphone cables to the 2.5mm input jack on the Panasonic GH2 digital camera. It's been working just fine in that role. It's a little pricey compared with some other adapters, but my understanding is that not all adapters will transmit the mic signal (as opposed to just stereo audio signals). Make sure the adapter fits your needs before plunking down the cash, but if you're looking for a mic adapter for a camera with a 2.5mm input, this should work well.

I knew going in it might not work with a Motorola w408g, inserting it all the way in I only had sound in the right ear, pulling it out of the phone a little I would have stereo sound in the headphones, so I epoxied 2 thin washers over the male end of the adapter and it works great. see picture.

Does not output stereo sound. In fact, just to get sound in both earplugs you have to half-way insert the plug. Doing this puts both stereo signals in both ears but the signals are not separated left from right (stereo).

I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching adapters since I've used so many and encountered various problems. Things to consider:

1) those with cords can eventually get a short, so see if you can tell the size and durability of the cord. Some of the less expensive ones are flimsy and short out quickly. The retractable ones are convenient in that you can adjust the length, but they (for me anyway) ALWAYS short out, it's just a matter of days vs months if they're good.

2) do you want the adapter to have an angle. I wanted a straight one (because of the location of my plug), but couldn't find a straight one with good reviews at the time I was looking.

3) be sure the length of the jack--male part--is not too long or short, and that the plastic surrounding it isn't going to get in the way. Unfortunately most sites don't specify jack length and you have to depend on customer reviews for this.



4) along the same lines, know whether you need two rings or three.
