Valley Enterprises 3.5mm Female to 3.5mm Male TRRS Right Angle Gold Headphone Adapter

Finally! I now have two elbow adapters that will carry the audio signal without disabling the headset controls. They work perfectly in all respects.Except for these, the only adapters I've found anywhere that are TRRS and at one end but only TRS at the other, male or female as the case may be. I still don't understand why anybody would even want a TRRS x TRS adapter yet it seems that 95% of the adapters you see in stores are of that type. I need 90-degree adapters like this because they allow the cord to hang down from the phone in a way that is less prone to snagging and tangling, but at the same time I need the pause/resume and volume control on the headset to continue working. Though it seems like a trivial issue, the ability to pause, resume, or control the volume from the cord means not having to take the phone out of my pocket or holder every time is a HUGE deal. The same goes for moderating the volume as required by ambient noise levels. Doctors and ergonomics engineers warn us about "smart phone neck", caused by constantly looking down at our screens, so being able to do routine things like pausing the music without looking at the screen means a more comfortable user experience.I would have found these sooner but I didn't know the technical terminology until recently.

My intention was to use this to plug a microphone into an iPhone or an iPad. It didn't work. It was well constructed though.

Functionally, this adapter is great. However, I found it too bulky for my application and this ended up in a storage box full of other cables and connectors. Despite that, the construction is solid and the item is well priced.

Terrible product. Poor design. Very difficult to work with.

Works just as expected. 4 pole functions work with my one button microphone ear buds. Only surprise is that it's chunky and heavy. At the end of light weight ear buds it's an anchor. Also adds bulk when plugged into my phone. Otherwise, unless it ever fails to work, it would be 5 stars.

Bought this for my computer's side mounted headphone jacks to relive the stress on my straight plugged headphones. Works great with no crackling in the headphones when plug rotates. Solid construction. Snug fit when plugged in, no play back and forth. 4 pole construction means regular headphones and headphones with mics with both work with this adapter. Plastic body and "gold" plated contacts.

works great but a little to large and could be made small to easy to get in the way and then would be great

Sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Bends easy. Feels cheaply made.
