Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge Rockstar, iPhone Lightning Audio Adapter- White

I have an older 2010 car that only contains an AUX jack and no USB port. I purchased this device so I could charge my iPhone 7 and listen to Pandora while driving. Since I like to use Google Maps while driving for traffic updates which is a battery intensive app this item is perfect to allow me to keep my phone charged and listen to Pandora or podcasts while driving.I received the item today and have been testing it in my home and so far I am very satisfied with it. I was concerned with this device possibly introducing noise, humming, or clicking sounds into the audio when headphones or the car radio is connected and so far I hear nothing. The music comes out clear with no distortion. I tested it in my car as well as with my Westone W20 earbuds which are very sensitive to line noise.Some other products that have a lighting port and a AUX jack can introduce audio noise into the car radio or headphones if the components are not properly grounded or lack interference shielding. Unfortunately, this is not something you can determine unless you actually use the product. Since this Belkin product just has two lighting ports this should not occur if you use Apple approved lighting cables and lighting to 3.5 mm audio jack adapters which is what I plan on doing.I will be leaving this item in my car 100% of the time. I live in Houston and I am curious to how well this product will hold up in very hot weather we get in the summertime. Belkin failed to provide any information about the heat or cold resistance of the product on their website. However, it has a two year warranty which is great so I won't have to worry about buying a new one if the Houston heat does end up breaking it. Hopefully, it will be fine but I will make sure to update my review if that is not the case.

Yes, these cost more than many competitors when I bought them a month ago-- but having tried the competitors in the past, these are the way to go. These work every time they are plugged in with no hassle.On the other hand, with the cheaper knock-offs, sometimes they'd work and sometimes they wouldn't. When the cheaper ones didn't work, sometimes unplugging the cable and plugging it back in worked-- and sometimes it didn't. Sometimes restarting the phone got them to work again-- and sometimes it didn't. Sometimes swapping for another cheap pair (because hey, they are so cheap, they came in a packet of two) would work for a while, until the phone went to sleep and I'd be playing the game of plugging and unplugging again.Save yourself the hassle of not having earbuds that work when you want them to. Buy a decent adapter-- like this one.

Under heavy use for the past 4 months, it still works great. Discovered my generic lightning cable stopped working with it, but switched it out with something else and Belkin was still working. Most durable compared to any splitter I've used - don't bother buying the generic ones. The Belkin Rockstar did cost the most so i did expect a lot.I use my splitter on multiple occasions, normally recording audio and video songs while plugged onto a power source. The sound or charging sometimes isn't automatic if you plug in the power/headphones after plugging in the rockstar ; you'll need to unplug and plug the rockstar again. I’m also usually charging overnight as I’m watching movies on my phone before going to sleep.Lately, I have been using my Lamicall phone holder over my headrest /bed frame and my iPhone XR is hanging at a 35-40degree angle, the belkin rockstar plugged thru the bottom hole of the phone holder and both charging cable and iphone headphones plugged in. I’m not sure if the splitter at an angle with the wire slightly bent is able to withstand the pressure. Maybe Belkin can clarify if the Rockstar can be used at an angle.All in all, it works, probably the best out in the market of power+audio splitters (i’ve purchased 4 cheap ones that last a week or less). Now if only they created lightning cable splitters for multiple earphones...

Poor quality, the cable has no flexibility and stops working at certain angles, eventually breaking.

Really like this product for what it is. The lightning cables fit snug and don't get dislodged easily - a problem I have with a similar product that include not only two lighting cable inputs, but also an standard headphone jack (which I don't use). The other feature I like is that it doesn't matter which port is used for power or for headphones, they are interchangeable (also a problem on my existing one which has a one labeled for power and the other for headphones.)The only unfortunate thing is that I bought this to use in my car so my iPhone could get power while also being attached to my car radio's AUX jack for audio output via my car speakers. No matter what I did, my car radio just would recognize the AUX output with the cable I have... so not sure if it's my adapter cable OR it's these sorts of splitters (my existing one also has this issue.)It's the only reason I rate this as 4-stars rather than 5-stars. Otherwise, it works great for connecting to power and headphones at one.

First brand I bought that actually works and hasn’t broken apart. Thanks for giving a crap belkin. Glad to see somebody still makes quality.

The media could not be loaded. I tried about three before I tried a Belkin. None of the others worked. Evidently Belkin is the only one who knows how to make these. It was frustrating going through the others and having them not work. Thank goodness the Belkin does. I used it to charge my phone while I’m singing and playing guitar on StarMaker karaoke app. Without it, I can’t get through many songs.
