Belkin Rockstar™ 3.5mm Audio with USB-C Charge Adaptor Included, Audio Adaptor Compatible with iPad Pro, Galaxy, Note, Google Pixel, LG G6, Sony Xperia, OnePlus and More - Black

2023: Seems to work just fine. I also bought an off-brand import version of this that is just a "Y" of the wires. The block piece on this one is just a little cumbersome and may get in the way for use while walking, hiking, biking, etc. but it should not be too troublesome. I bought this for play in the car, so that's less of a concern for me. I already had a ground loop noise isolator for the car, and I have not tried this item without it, so I cannot speak to any potential interference when used without one. The sound quality appears to be good. Many of these advertise a bit rate and frequency. I do not believe there is anything exceptional to this item in that regard. Craftmanship can be a factor there too though. I have not really tested the limits in terms of sound quality (loud play, complicated songs with lots of bass and/or treble), but so far it plays well. ***Update 2026: I know this one has some durability concerns, but this is still the best option out there. Mine lasted just short of 3 years with regular use in the car, and me paying little mind to its care. It started cutting out with even the slightest movement at that point. Still, this is the best sound option that I have found. Other brands require a higher volume setting to get the same sound, and some randomly cut out from the get-go. Also, this is the only item that has allowed me to stay plugged into my car speakers and run calls with my phone's mic (Teams, regular phone), while other brands do not (they will give care speaker sound, but my mic will not operate). So durability concerns aside, I got 3 years out the first unit, it has the best sound that I have found, and it works with my phone's mic while plugged in. If I have to keep buying every 3 years, that is not great, but far from terrible considering the amount of use and the functionality.

Initially a great product. But after about a month, it no longer works. If you use this for a kid’s iPad, don’t bother.

Works as described, no issues with iPhone 16 Pro.

Very good quality and works at 100%

Works well in my older car to play music but there was a slight high-pitched sound when you turned the volume up.

After having to "upgrade" to a phone without a headphone jack, I needed a good DAC and charger adapter. Cheaper ones are, well, cheap. This one solved most of my issues with noise floor. You'll get all of the same things you would with a standard built-in headphone jack. Like with anything that has a wire, though, it will go out. For me, it made it about 3 months before it started showing some issues where it would disconnect/reconnect/stop media very suddenly. Very annoying having to try and resume, only to move the cable slightly and have it disconnect. As I said, cables just wear out. You'll probably fair better than me on this one, but for the price? I wish it had lasted a bit longer.

Excellent gadget. Saved me hundreds of dollars. My 2005 truck only has an AUX input port and that stopped working when my new phone came without a 3.5mm phone jack. Bluetooth does not work with my old radio. In order to get Bluetooth connectivity, I would have had to install a new radio and matching speakers. I could have purchased a Bluetooth adapter to connect the 3.5mm AUX plug into the AUX input, but reading reviews on alternative Bluetooth dongle adapters, convinced me that there are volume and noise problems. I just tried the Belkin RockStar™ 3.5mm Audio with USB-C Charge Adaptor plugged into my AUX in jack and it is providing excellent results. I can make and receive phone calls and the cell phone charges just fine. Streaming music is static free. Liking this solution the best. Pros: It works with the phone set at low to mid volume. Works with my antiquated radio and amplifier. Excellent sound. I would buy another one to replace it should it ever fail in the future. I would recommend it to friends and strangers. Cons: Not free, but a reasonable price. DISCLAIMER: This review was not generated using AI, nor was it part of any sponsored promotion. I'm just a regular guy trying to save a few bucks.

I should have sifted through the reviews more. This adapter doesn't work with its own brand of USB-C to USB-A cords, which was the main thing I wanted it for. Please note the Not Charging alert. It can work with USB-C to USB-C, but my main goal was to have a long cord that didn't require using the huge, chunky adapter Apple offers with the iPad Mini Pro. I'm going to give it a bit more of a try, but I'll likely return it due to having a poor transformer and compatibility issues. I'm disappointed, Belkin. Your similar adapter that works with lightning cables is far better. Why did you change the form factor?

Ottimo

Funkade i ett par dygn, sedan knastrade det till och den slutade fungera. Antingen inte alls eller bara i ena hörluren. För detta pris förväntas en högre kvalité. Rekommenderas inte!

Simply perfect for its purpose. I noticed that the sound quality got better than before. I use it for mobile gaming.

Funciona genial y el sonido excelente, transparente y nítido … una maravilla

Nutze den Adapter, um Kopfhörer anzuschließen und gleichzeitig zu laden. Funktioniert ohne Probleme, Ton ist sauber und Laden läuft parallel ganz normal. Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig und stabil. Macht genau das, wofür man ihn braucht. Würde ich wieder kaufen.
