Product was exactly as advertised and was exactly as the photo showed. Best 99 cents I?ve spent in a long time, oh plus 3$ shipping but hey we gotta keep the post office functioning.
The reviews for this product were less than stellar but at 37 cents a piece I thought it was worth a try. Ordered three in hopes one would work. One just barely worked and the other two were DOA. Will try the metal plug to see if it works.
I bought this to use a mono microphone with something that requires a stereo mic. This works OK, but as some other reviewers have mentioned, the female jack on this is a little loose. I also found the male end to be difficult to insert (seems like tolerances aren't very good). I also ordered the "metal" version of this exact same device (part ID #7160), and the tolerances seem to be a bit better on it as both sides fit better. I'd recommend getting PID #7160 instead, even though it's twice the price (still much less than a dollar).
I had read the reviews and knew I was likely to have a problem so I bought two 7129's and two 7160's thinking I would get at least one part that worked without intermittent connection. No such luck. All four parts had the same problem as detailed in other people's reviews. These are sealed units so you cannot try to bend or adjust anything. It seems a flawed design to begin with. The ring connection has no spring contact so you are just hoping that it will lay across the metal hole well enough for the jack part to make contact. Well mostly it does NOT. The have no quality control and should not be sold until the design and manufacture is fixed so that they actually perform their function without requiring you to hold them in your hands to make the connection.
PROS: None
CONS: Intermittent Connections require you to hold device in your hands during entire service of operation.
