Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Shure MPA-3C Music Phone Adapter for iPhone
Customer Review: First, best and only
Summary: 5 Stars
For me, this was the first device of its kind and I still have not seen anything better. I endured the original Apple iPhone earbuds for months and sunk ridiculous amounts of money into all-in-one products that claimed to do what the Shure does modularly, until this came along. If you are used to listening to your iPod pretty much all the time when you are mobile, this is for you. It will play, pause, and skip backwards and forwards when you're not on the phone. And when a call comes in, one click will answer it, hang it up, hold one while answering another, or switch between two calls. It could not be simpler, or more reliable.
The microphone is good enough quality to use outdoors on a city street, speaking at a normal level, without "cupping" it. Outdoor noise is screened out well, even on windy days. I've spent many an evening walking through Times Square on my way to the train home from work, calling my wife to tell her I'm on my way, only to have it turned into a normal casual conversation as if I were still sitting at my desk talking on the office phone! And the mic is good enough to use for iPhone apps that use a microphone, such as recording apps.
And the cable is durable! If there is one flaw, it is that the cable is so durable it will outlast the clip, if you even use it. My clip wore out after about 18 months of intense usage (at least 3 hours per day), but the adapter is still going strong. Like the Shure earbuds that it's designed to work with, it is very hard to tangle the cord since it's smooth and not grippy, and fairly thick, almost bendable. That makes it easy to pull the buds out of your pocket and pop them in your ears, no matter how hastily you shoved them in last time you put them away.
I can't say enough about this adaptor. It's still the best and only product of its kind, and works with any stereo earbuds, and all generations of the iPhone and iPod Touch.
