Is working! Audio & Video Accessories

I bought these because I was so tired of spending 48 hours promoting things I could talk about in a normal conversation with family or friends when one of my devices would be nearby. I. I've tested them on a few computers, mobile phones, and a few different iPads. Advantages: - Voice notes, voice commands, video recording, phone calls, everything is only registered statically. The devices still try to hear you, but only noise is recorded. It's about 1/2 inch long and about the width of an eraser, so it's very easy to plug in and out of the headphone jack. I plugged it in, I can do everything I've done before on my devices. I'm oddly and sarcastically satisfied that since I started using them, that ad bombardment associated with everything I've said is no longer there. . The ads still drive me nuts, but now they're totally random and not from the things I mentioned in a conversation with a device next to me. Cons: - I can hear my phone ringing but that's it. I can't hear what the caller is saying (that makes sense because it creates a loop from the microphone to the device's speaker) - I can't hear any notifications or text tones - Because of its size, you have to be careful not to hit it. It works with a regular headphone plug. However, I have an updated iPhone that doesn't have the standard headphone jack. But I've simply used an accessory that plugs into a charging jack that doubles for use with headphones, and the results are the same as the 'standard' headphone jack.

Pros
  • Rugged Design
Cons
  • There are nuances
