One of my biggest gripes with the iPhone is the recessed headphone jack. This jack configuration eliminates the majority of consumer headphones because they use a standard 3.5mm headphone plug.
Until recently, the only options for getting an iPhone headphone adapter was to buy one of the bulky models from Belkin or buying an iPod Shuffle headphone extension cable on ebay.
Luckily, the folks at USBFever have come to the rescue with their iPod / iPhone Stereo Earphone Adapter. This little device can get your Shure/Bose/Etymotic headphones working on your iPhone.

A Better Look at Things:
The iPod / iPhone Stereo Earphone Adapter comes in a clear plastic bag.
It is a black (also available in white) cable that measures 4.75 inches. The adapter has a gold plated 3.5mm connector at one end and a 3.5mm headphone connector at the other.
The cable is flexible like a standard headphone cable.
Installation, Testing and Comparison:
Plug the 3.5mm connector into the iPhone and your headphone speaker cable into the opposite end of the iPod / iPhone Stereo Earphone Adapter.
Then put on your headphones and rock out.
The iPod / iPhone Stereo Earphone Adapter works as advertised, allowing any headphone with a 3.5mm jack to function with the iPhone.
Summary:
The iPod / iPhone Stereo Earphone Adapter is a simple product that performs its job as advertised! There is no negative to using this product. If you own an iPhone and have a set of headphones you wish to use with it and they do not fit the recessed headphone jack, then this is the product you NEED to have.
DragonSteelMods gives the iPod / iPhone Stereo Earphone Adapter a 5 out of 5 score and our Recommended Award as well.
