It works pretty decent on my laptop, so that is why I got it. Your preferences may vary on this, since everyone is different. I don't have one of those devices where I plug it in to a speaker or something (yet), but I will get one when I launch my career (most likely). I would recommend everyone to get this for their microphone.

Standar 1/8 (3.5mm) earphone plug to 1/4 (mono) headset, needed for recording purposes, works as intended.

A simple device, but necessary to hook up to older audio systems. It works great!

The monoprice quality should win prize for the things they sell. The plug feels solid in my hands, doesn't have cheap feel. It worked perfectly and has not had any issue with it so far with my microphone plugged into my PC. It just works!

The item works great. Great Value.

Bought this to connect from iPad to Monoprice 50ft Premier Series XLR Male to 1/4in TRS Male Cable, 16AWG (Gold Plated) to use with an arena speaker system. However, the connection is loose, and semi-okay 50% sound is heard with manually holding the 1/4 inch cable plug within this converter just right. Not a tenable situation for playing arena music. Had to be returned.
For what it's worth, another 1/4 inch to 3.5 mm converter plug from a different manufacturer also did not work with the XLR to 1/4 inch TRS cable.

Works as described, took 1 star off as it does not fit a cell phone with a case. I wish it was thinner at the base of the plug.

Works great, just what I needed. Thanks so very much

Smooth plugin, great sound, happy with my purchase.

Fits perfectly on both sides. No play, no wiggle. Looks and sounds good. No problems with mine.
