This review is from: Malcom Distributors 2.5mm Female to 3.5mm Male 3 rings Jack Stereo Adapter On/Off enabled - Convert 2.5 mm Stereo Cell Phone Headset to 3.5 mm MP3 Stereo Earpiece Earphones Input Jack for iPhone 1G 3G 3Gs, Blackberry, Motorola Droid, Palm Pixi, HTC Eris Nexus One (Electronics)
There is apparently a lot of confusion over what these adapters can do. I believe the problem is that there are two different wiring standards (pin-outs) for 2.5mm audio plugs and jacks: stereo headphones (two earpieces and no mic) vs. stereo or mono telephone headsets (one or two earpieces and a mic). The 2.5mm male plug's tip and rings are the same dimensions/position, but wired differently.

On a 2.5mm plug with a tip and two rings, the contacts can be wired as earpiece, mic and common, or as left earpiece, right earpiece and common. You'd need a 2.5mm plug with a tip and three rings for a stereo telephone phone headset, just like the 3.5mm version.

Thus, an adapter such as this one will only work with one type of connection, and you cannot tell by looking at it. To make matters worse, some products come with audio controls (mute, forward/reverse or stop/start), and those standards vary.

5.0 out of 5 stars works with Samsung Epic, April 7, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Malcom Distributors 2.5mm Female to 3.5mm Male 3 rings Jack Stereo Adapter On/Off enabled - Convert 2.5 mm Stereo Cell Phone Headset to 3.5 mm MP3 Stereo Earpiece Earphones Input Jack for iPhone 1G 3G 3Gs, Blackberry, Motorola Droid, Palm Pixi, HTC Eris Nexus One (Electronics)
My employer gave me yet another new phone, a Samsung Epic, and of course the audio jack is a different size than my previous phone, a Blackberry.

This adapter works perfectly -- I can now use my favorite Plantronics wired headset with microphone.

Service was typical Amazon: Impeccable.

I wanted to adapt a headset with 2.5mm jack to my iPad. Had a bit of trouble finding a stereo plus mike adapter.

This worked just fine. So did my old headset.
