Comments about Grado Mini Adapter Cable (1/4" Female to 1/8" Male):
Use to connect my Audio-Technica headphones with a 1/4" plug to my JDS Labs cMoy BB v2.03 Headphone Amplifier, since it only has a 1/8" stereo mini jack. The adapter cable is strong, flexible and stands up under heavy usage. No popping, cracking or other evidence of loose connections or inferior materials used in production. Very happy, even though it was a bit more expensive then I expected to pay.

Comments about Grado Mini Adapter Cable (1/4" Female to 1/8" Male):
Used to adapt my (non-Grado) phones to fit a mini stereo socket, the adapter clicks firmly in place and does not short in and out when moved around or the plugs rotated in the fittings. The flexible cable avoids the strain of a giant assemblage of fixed plugs weighing on the phone socket.

Comments about Grado Mini Adapter Cable (1/4" Female to 1/8" Male):
I've used this adapter frequently with my SR325is for the past couple of years and it continues to work properly and shows few signs of wear. I'm glad that it is compatible with any other headphone that uses a 1/4" connection. It always fits securely and reduces strain on the equipment that you plug it into, whether it be MP3 players or home stereos.
Other generic adapters of this type that I've tried have seemed much flimsier or eventually failed at some point. This one states quality just holding it in your hand.

Comments about Grado Mini Adapter Cable (1/4" Female to 1/8" Male):
Great build quality to match my 325is but won't fit with case on my iphone. I do like the fact that it has a bit of cable to keep the bulk down when plugged in but needs to be smaller to fit into recessed openings.

Comments about Grado Mini Adapter Cable (1/4" Female to 1/8" Male):
I bought this adapter after reading other users of premium headphones praising its usefulness in extending the life of the headphone cable.
After repeatedly plugging, unplugging, hanging etc. the cable wears over time and this is the perfect hedge. There's also no degradation in audio quality.
I use this with my Sennheiser HD595 and I'm perfectly content.

Comments about Grado Mini Adapter Cable (1/4" Female to 1/8" Male):
I purchased this adapter so I could use my Grado RS2 headphones with my PC and my MP3 player. Prior to this purchase, I bought a generic adapter cable from a nationwide retailer. Only one of the headphones could be heard. When I purchased this mini adapter from B&H, I was able to enjoy the superior sound quality that I hear when I do not have the mini adapter attached to my headphones.

Comments about Grado Mini Adapter Cable (1/4" Female to 1/8" Male):
Solid well made quality construction. Save wear and pressure on your 1/8 audio jack with this over a standard cheap bundled adapter. A right-angled connector on this would be a nice option.
