Seriously, don't waste time with the cheaper ones. They're not that much cheaper, but this one is a lot better. I use it with my USB recording interface as a headphone driver, with professional DACs, and this is a really critical piece of the listening experience. Not because the metal conducts the signals better, but because the fit is exquisite. The signal is delivered to both sides of the heaphones perfectly, with no wiggling or bumping. It's also a bit shorter than many others, with a strong knurled barrel that gives you confidence. This is perfect.
My old $6 adapters are now relegated to the gig bag for emergencies. At $9, this one far exceeds anything else I've used. I never thought I could feel so passionately for a headphone adapter. |

This is the 5th 3.5 mm to 1/4 in adapter I have bought in the last couple of months, 3 from Amazon and 2 from other vendors. This is only one that is actually a 3.5 mm to 1/4 adapter. Each of the other four was not machined well enough to meet the tolerances needed to act as a proper adapter. They would either be slightly off on the 1/4 end or the 3.5 mm end. The end result was that when even the tiniest amount of force was applied, and I'm not even talking about deliberate force, you would get static, lose a channel or both. What I mean by force being applied is stupid random stuff like accidentally nudging a DAC or bumping into the desk.
I just spent the last 30 mins actually trying to get this thing to fail on me by applying force on it and the cable it was attached to in random ways. I got it to pop out of the DAC itself, but the 3.5 mm cable was still attached to it and it had no effect once I plugged it back in.
Yes, this thing costs almost 3 times what the cheap ones do. But, it's a difference of 6-7 dollars. For something that actually works. So, save yourself some time and start with this thing rather than the cheap trash. |

| ★★★★★ | Sennheiser 1/4 Adapter, Solid, Durable, and Functional |
| Verified Purchase |
| Yes this is just 1/4 adapter but it is of the quality I expect from Sennheiser. It is simple, but sturdy, well made, and most importantly it works well. I’ve had some cheap adapters in the past that are poorly constructed and temperamental to slight movement where you lose a channel. I decided to spend a few dollars more and get an adapter I know will work. Easy to recommend if this is what you’re looking for. |

| ★★★★★ | THE ONLY ADAPTER WORTH BUYING |
| Verified Purchase |
I’ve gone through literally 10’s of 1/4 adapters in my studios. I use them for my interfaces my amps for recording and playback and all of them HAVE BROKE
Except one. I would buy the cheap 2-3 packs or even the singles here for 5-7 dollars but guys they don’t last.
This is the quality you can expect from sennheiser. Even through abuse and changing chords and removing and putting back in cables it still holds up.
Don’t short change yourself, get this. Seriously I get it is more expensive but when 3 weeks go by and that cheap one you bought doesn’t work anymore you’ll regret not getting this. |

| ★★★★★ | farewell 1/4" adapter crackle |
| Verified Purchase |
| For decades I've used cheaper 1/4" adapters from Planet Waves, Shure, and many no-name brands. They all suffered from poor contact crackling when the connection is bumped. I thought that was just how it had to be, but finally decided to try this more expensive adapter from Senheiser...lo and behold, the crackle that has plagued my IEMs for years is magically gone! |

| ★★★★★ | Worth the extra few $, don't cheap out |
| Verified Purchase |
Had a cheap generic 1/4" plug that had a loose connection (the 3.5mm end would wobble) and would cause the headphones to cut in and out.
The Sennheiser version is perfectly tight and saves you the headache. The real kicker is that the cheap one I had was only a few dollars less expensive, but it caused so much trouble. Just buy this one and save yourself the pain. |

| Before buying the superior Sennheiser brand, I bought a cheap eBay knockoff and was sorely disappointed with the sound quality. So glad I tried one more time by getting Sennheiser instead. The sound quality is excellent and crisp. No static or distortion whatsoever. |

| ★★★★★ | High Quality, Costs More but Worth It |
| Verified Purchase |
Ordered a couple cheapo adapter and none of them worked properly. When you instered the headphone jack all the way they'd only play on one side of the headphones unless you jiggled the plug in the jack.
This, on the other hand, works perfectly! Spend the extra $4-5 on this one if you have Sennheiser headphones |

| ★★★★★ | The best 1/4" to 3.5mm Adapters I've Found |
| Verified Purchase |
| These are the best 1/4" to 3.5mm adapters I've found, they hold tight in my Benchmark DAC and allow the 3.5mm cable to be removed while the adapter to stays put which is what I wanted. If you want the adapter to pull out with the cable the screw-on kind are probably better. They are more expensive, but compared to the equipment / headphones I'm using them with, I would use anything less. |

My schiit hel2 came with a 1/4" adapter for my headphones and it immediately gave me intermittent left and right audio when used with my sennheiser p38x.
This immediately resolved the problem and I can bump the connection without fear of losing that sweet spot of good connectivity. |
