Best New Accessory for Just $3.99?
The Helium Digital Headphone Adapter allows the use of all headphones that use a standard 3.5mm headphone jack to be used with devices such as the Apple iPhone®, or any other device with a recessed headphone port.
This looks like it may be a real best seller. A simple and inexpensive accessory that will be a must-get for those who need high quality headphones for their iPhone. The new Helium Digital Headphone Adapter is a solution for those who already have premium headphones and can’t use them with the iPhone’s recessed headphone port.
Chris Leckness over at Mobility Site reckons he would happily pay $15-20 for this super useful fix, but it’s going for just $3.99 Canadian.
Read on for the full details …
From the Helium Digital site:
The recessed headphone port on the iPhone® prevents many standard 3.5 mm headphone jacks from fitting the device properly. With the headphone adapter, you can be guaranteed that all headphones will work with your device, regardless of the brand. The headphone adapter can also be used in conjunction with the Helium Digital HDBT-750 Bluetooth Headphones to add wireless Bluetooth Stereo Audio to any device.*
Unlike some other headphone adapters available for the iPhone®, the HD-005 will act as an extension cable, carrying both the stereo audio and microphone signals from your device. This allows the adapter to be used with stereo headphones that also have integrated microphone functionality, or it may be used with headphones designed solely for listening to stereo audio.
Specifications
Nickel plated
3.5mm 4-pole plug

* The HDBT-750 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones will add wireless stereo audio via the included Bluetooth transmitter. The headphones themselves will also connect directly to the iPhone® (or any other device) that supports the Bluetooth headset profile. This direct connection will provide full phone call functionality through the headphones, while simultaneously maintaining the connection to the stereo audio through the transmitter.

Hey Patrick did you know that your Zune earphone fits just fine on the iPhone? I mean, I’m not considering the Zune earphones as “high-end”, not by a long shot, but it works.
I actually use it, as I don’t feel comfortable with the white iphone cord running to my ears. Although, no phone feature… blah.
That is funny – didn’t know that at all …
