These connectors seem to be pretty well put together, although I occasionally found a slightly crunchiness on the sockets which will hopefully clean up with use.
The connectors are gold plated on the actually electrically conductive surfaces rather than the outside so in this case it is actually useful & functional.
For me they were slightly too wide at the base of the jack plug to fit into my phone case correctly but since I experience this issue a lot with most jack & headphone leads they don’t lose big marks for this, just be aware of the dimensions.
The Cable Matters 2-Pack Right Angle 3.5mm Adapters is a clever solution for safeguarding your device ports.
The build quality is excellent, ensuring durability without compromising audio performance. There’s no discernible impact on sound quality, making it a reliable choice for audio enthusiasts.
The inclusion of two adapters at such a reasonable price is a definite plus. This accessory effectively addresses the vulnerability of protruding ports, providing peace of mind for device users.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Cable Matters Right Angle Adapters for their practicality and reliable performance.
I bought this to solve a very minor annoyance, so I felt it was a bit expensive for that. That being said, these are probably the best quality you could get and you get two, so good value!
Of course it doesn’t affect sound quality or in-line controls.
I was initially concerned that it was too wide, and it would hold up my laptop a little bit, putting stress on the jack; But as you can see, there is space underneath it 🙂
Really happy with the build quality and functionality of these right-angled adapters.
I’m not a fan of when the aux cable sticks out from the port, they end up bending and breaking. These little adapters solve this issue and allow the cable to run alongside the device its plugged into, preventing or at least delaying the cable from breaking
We’ve all had that problem of a 3.5mm plug sticking out of a piece of equipment so you can’t move the equipment back against the wall, and it sticks out 5cm more than necessary. With one of these right-angled connectors you can reduce that distance to 1cm, or nearly flush with the wall.
The connectors are well-made with gold-plated connectors (3.5mm female to 3.5mm male), encased in strong black plastic. See photos attached. They work easily and well, and I recommend them. 5 stars.
These are well constructed connectors which give a reliable signal transfer from headphones with mic to the source. The only improvement I would make is to increase the depth of the shoulder where the connector plugs in to allow for the protective cover most phones use around the headphone socket. To be used with my ageing iPhone I would have to remove the cover first. No issue when using with just a stereo pair lead which doesn’t need the four connectors.
I’ve used one of the adapters for a few weeks and it hasn’t degraded the audio quality and has always made good contact. The plastic surround slims down above the plug so that it fits though the whole in my phone case where as my headphone jack will not fit directly which is an added bonus.
I had to replace an aux cable for a set of headphones and in my haste I ordered a completely straight one with a thicker, not so easily bent cable without considering how it might affect me being able to put my phone in my bag or pocket. Not a world-ending problem to face, but I don’t have to face it any more with this 90 degree adapter, meaning I can listen to my music and put my phone wherever I like without worrying about damaging the cable by bending it too hard. These would also be very handy if you’re plugging headphones into a tight space as the right angle of this adaptor will take up less room and be far neater than trying to bend a larger cable around
This is a quality TRRS right angle plug adapter (it has 4 segments on the plug) and works with headset and built in microphone on modern mobile phones and laptops. I have tested it and it works fine.
I also wanted to use it with some high end stereo monitoring headphones on my older laptop for sound editing… so just a normal stereo headphone jack was what was needed. I tried both of these connectors and can confirm that they work perfectly.
They are good quality and do not crackle when rotating in the socket and are a very good fit.
Ideal for anything that requires a right angle connection to prevent the wire bending at 45 degrees and causing damage, or where there isn’t enough space for a plug and cable to stick out very far. A pack of 2 makes good sense as they are so useful.
I chose this because right-angled audio jacks, also known as L-shaped plugs, can provide several pluses over a straight jack. In particular how the 90 bend angle can reduce strain from the cable grommet and also the jack port. Which is a problem I’m finding with the headphones plugged into our workshop PC.
The vertical facing port means grommets on our headphones keep getting bent, especially when the head phones get moved around. Which means headphones don’t always last very long. Plus there’s always a danger of someone standing up and yanking the headphones out, hence damaging the port.
But with these the cable and grommet will be more level, hence reducing the strain. Additionally, as theres a connector between port and phones, the headphones could be pulled from the right angle jack and not the PC’s jack port. Hence reducing possible port damage.
Another advantage with these plugs are this PC is in a dusty environment. So having a plug always left in the PC’s audio port means the audio port won’t get so dirty. Thus saving cleaning time on.
Plus, especially as there’s 2 in this pack, I can use one on the rear ports for the speakers or microphone. An area which has limited clearance, so cables often end up pinched up against the wall, another problem this jack can fix. Overall ? For a small outlay I can solve a few annoyance’s.
