Works and works well

It does exactly what it says on the tin, no frills. No custom drivers needed or anything on windows, it just shows up as a regular audio device. The sound quality is very good, I can't fault anything.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Nothing here

UPDATED - Couldn't get it to work on Mac

UPDATED Rating - Cable Matters backs their products! They sent me a new adapter and it worked without any problems! Tested on multiple Macs and PCs. Everything worked without any problems. First check - I tried connecting the device to three different Macs, none of them showed the device in the list of audio components. .I have another USB audio I/O cable that I have used in the past. When using this cable, all I have to do is plug it into a USB port. As soon as the cable is plugged into the…

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Reliability

Works for iPhone USB A to Lighting

So I ordered the separate adapter shown above. It works amazingly when you plug it into a Lightning USB port. I can use my microphone to record videos and use it in some games that support voice chat.

Wish there were more color options.

Pros
  • Quality build
Cons
  • I will add later

Works very well and is well built

It works very well and the build quality is excellent. If you need an audio jack to USB converter, this one should be at the top of the list.

Pros
  • Only positives
Cons
  • Large and bulky

Everything was fine until yesterday

I forgot to write a review earlier when I received the product. But I was looking for a replacement as the one I bought unfortunately died yesterday. I was watching a movie and suddenly there was hiss and puff, no sound and the adapter disappeared from my list of playback devices. I've tried plugging it into different USB ports as well as different USB extenders to no avail. As said, everything was fine. I have had no problems and have received several cables from this company. I'm a little…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Nothing
