Let me start by saying this is a nice product. Well-built and even looks nice. But be warned, this adapter does not support 4-pole connectors (cable ends with 3-rings), only standard stereo (cable ends with 2-rings). It is stated in the products description that it works with “standard stereo”, but I don’t think many people think about it when reading (I know I didn’t) and a lot of headphones today have 4-pole plugs so they can support inline-microphones (i.e. cell phones).
To help clarify I posted a photo that shows a 4-pole connector (3 black rings) and a standard stereo connector (2 black rings). If the headphones or other device that you are using has a connecter 3-rings, then this adapter will not work for you.
Make sure you get the proper adaptors. There are stereo 1/4 plugs and there are mono plugs. If you have a guitar amp, you need a mono 1/4 inch to stereo headphone plug not this one. If you have a behringer stereo amp and or midi keyboard then buy this.
I've seen all kinds of reviews about plugging adaptors in 90% to get them to work in both channels, right doesnt work, or you get unreliable signal or whatever, but they are probably mixing mono equipment and stereo plugs. I've done it too. Look carefully, and troubleshoot before calling them defective pos. These work perfectly with my stereo stuff.
This is the smallest adapter I have and it works almost flawlessly. I have a few others but they're rather bulky. This one almost makes it seem like you're not even using an adapter.
My only complaint is for one of my earphones, if I push the connector in all the way, it seems to mess with the signal because the sound gets muffled. I have to pull out the earphone connector a tad before everything clears up. But that was with only one pair and I didn't have any others to test with. Might have been just that pair.
Either way, they are small, look great, and work!
These adapters seem to work well. The input side is nice and flat which provides and unobstructed connection for whatever type of headphone jack you're plugging it into. Right angle, straight, big fat connectors, small earbud connectors or whatever. They have a nice positive connection which is both tactile and visible that seats well and securely. The only thing I wish it had was some texture on the barrel. It's hard to get a grip on it when pulling out of 1/4 jack, especially if it's in a tight spot like a mixer where there are tons of other cable close by. Other than that, looks great, works great, great price, etc.
Just got these for my 204HD desktop audio interface, great feel and heft, for me they will be a set in and leave adapter so I have no reason to put them through their paces in terms of durability. Other points, they arrived a day early, cause zero issues with sound quality, and came in at a great price! I was all set to buy a different brand (one that is a noted industry standard) when a good handful of negative reviews turned me off of the idea/risk. After a quick search, these guys kept coming up so decided to try them out, no regrets! Also, and this is a minor detail, I like that these aren’t shiny gold or too bright in color tone so that they blend in better with the black interface - an added bonus really ;)

Highly recommended. I'm using them to convert between an 1/4" guitar amplifier jack and standard 3.5mm headphones jack. The adapters look and work great! They look and feel heavy duty so I expect them to last a long time.
I have my PS4 connected to my stereo receiver which then takes the video to my 1080i HDTV and the sound to the room's 5.1 stereo speakers. When I need some silence in our family room, the 1/4 inch (i.e., 6.35 mm Male) to 3.5 mm Female adapter allows my son to plug his headphones into the stereo receiver while playing his PS4 game. It works great! It provides the surround sound effects from the game. You can, of course, plug the headset directly into your PS4 controller but I think the sound quality is improved after it is processed through the Yamaha stereo receiver. I highly recommend this adapter if you need to plug in your earbuds, headphones, etc into the stereo!
These 6.5mm (1/4") male to 3.5 mm female adapters are a solid fit on both ends and pass audio reliably with no static and no dropouts. I'm using the adapters in a home studio environment. My mixing boards have 1/4" headphone jacks as does my headphone distribution amplifier. Most new headphones and earbuds have 3.5mm connections, so, having these adapters is necessity. I have had some serious issues with cheap,unreliable 1/4" stereo female to female adapters from other companies. That said, these Aurum adapters worked like a champ and I'm using them for all my 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter connections.
I bought these so I could run my amazon kindle into my guitar amps, so I could run background music into the amp and play along with it. Also to plug my ear buds into my 80's rack stereo. They work great for both purposes. The fit on both ends is nice and they seem to be constructed with quality materials and craftsmanship. Am hoping they will last a long time. Great price and quality!!
Just what I needed. I didn’t want to bother my roommates/neighbors with my digital piano, so I got this pack to plug in headphones. Now I can play at all odd hours of the night in blissful peace.
The adapters are great quality and come in a pack of 3. I haven’t had it long, but the quality is crystal clear with no distortion to my headphones. It’s an excellent value too - if you go to a local store, this price (I paid $7) would get you a 1 pack.
Nothing else to say, really. I’ve used it every day since I got it a little less than two weeks ago and it’s worked wonderfully. Highly recommended.
