Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers find the adapter works well with Rode smartLav+ and is sturdy, with one customer noting it won't accidentally bend. The sound quality receives mixed feedback - while some praise the sound quality, others report low quality sound in both sides and loud hissing. The cable thickness is criticized for being too thin, and while customers consider it an ideal adapter for lapel mics, they find it a little pricey.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2021Style: SC3Verified PurchaseI don't use this anymore, but when I DID use it, it was very helpful. The reason i bought it, was because I used it for vlogging with the Canon EOS M3, which has a flip UP screen so I can't use the mount for a mic AND see the screen. So instead I bought a Rode VideoMic Me, which mounted to my camera via a wall mount cable holder thing. But that mic is for phones and doesn't work in cameras....without this splitter, that is. So I used it for that and it worked fine. I ended up getting a new camera (EOS M50), which allows me to do what I want, and mount a better mic on top, because the screen flips to the side. So I no longer need this, nor the mic I used it with. But it's still good for those that do need it.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2015Style: SC3Verified PurchaseAlthough this is a handy piece of hardware, it does convert the TRRS to TRS correctly however some digital audio recorders do not except this conversion without a lot of play with the cord. Having said that the overall purpose of this product does meet the expectation. I bought this to convert my Rode Smart lavalier mic to work on my other audio devices other than my smart phone or tablet. In some cases for instance with my Roland R-05 Digital audio recorder, that unit does not except the conversion with ease. However on many of the video cameras, and cheaper audio recording devices it does seem to do the trick and it does it very well. However if you want a true TRS microphone I think the Best route is to buy one that is already wired with a TRS connection. Anytime a conversion cable is required there is always the possibility of difficulty, interference etc. I hope anyone looking at this comment takes what I say with a grain of salt. The item does exactly what it says it does, however to keep it simple it just doesn't work on every device with ease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid and perfect size.
Style: SC3Verified PurchaseI use this adapter to connect the SmartLav+ to my Zoom H4n Pro. It works great and the lenght is perfect. I really enjoy the male 90 degrees plugging as it doesn’t stick out too much of the recorder.
