Our Story Headset Buddy was started in 2009 when I wanted to use my favorite headset with my phone, but couldn't find an adapter. I realized (thankfully) others might have the same issue. Soon after I ordered a thousand units and started selling them from the spare bedroom of my apartment. As orders came, so did requests from customers for different types of headset accessories. Here we are now, with over forty unique headset solutions selling all over the world, thanks to customers like you. Review: Excellent for recording to iPad - When I first used the cable, there was a terrible buzzing recorded on top of the audio. Because of some of the reviews, I assumed that there was a problem with the construction and took the cable apart thinking I could perhaps fix it. As I took the cable apart, I was surprised to see how solidly the cable was put together. It seemed to be constructed much better than some of the reviews implied. After giving up on fixing it myself, I contacted the seller via email and they quickly responded and sent me another cable. I tried the second cable and found that it had the same buzzing, BUT ONLY WHEN MY IPAD WAS PLUGGED IN! When my iPad was running off battery, the input audio signal was perfect. So now I don't know whether there was even anything wrong with the first cable. I am completely happy with this cable. We are using it to broadcast our church services over Facebook Live using the audio output from the sound board. Works great! Review: It Works Great! - I was hesitant to buy this after reading reviews regarding the cable fraying at the connectors. The reviews were a bit old so I hoped the manufacturer took notice and fixed the issue. I could not find any other cables like this so I took a chance. I was pleasantly surprised to find they did indeed update it! I've included a photo that shows my Headset Buddy cable next to an Apple lightning adapter and a Rode SC4. You can clearly see they've beefed up the cable on the Headset Buddy. It's plenty tough and is way better than the Apple or Rode cables. I'm using this cable to feed a timecode signal from my field recorder into my iPhone XR. Without the Headset Buddy, the signal was too hot and was overdriving the input on the iPhone. So, I guess this cable takes line level signals and attenuates them. I don't know the specifics or details, but I can tell you it works perfectly for my application. I still have to use the Apple adapter along with the Headset Buddy, but that's just to be able to plug into the lightning port on my phone. If the manufacturer happens to read these reviews, I noticed on their website a cable just like this Headset Buddy, but with a lightning connector instead of the 3.5mm TRRS. But they no longer offer this cable. Why the heck not!? It would negate the need for the Apple adapter. Please bring it back! ## Features - Record line-level audio from your mixer or soundboard on your iPhone, smartphone. - Allows your external audio output to replace your smartphone's mic.

Please bring it back! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Using for outgoing voicemail greetings *by L***G on November 22, 2019* Perfect for recording outgoing voicemail messages from mp3's. No more holding the phone next to the computer and yelling at the dog to shut off the drum machine and put down the guitar. Works great with my Samsung android phones... s4, s7 and s9. Plug and play. I did use a y-adapter to connect a set of headphones in parallel so I could hear the audio as I was recording (to start and stop the recording correctly). Remember to disconnect the adapter from the phone before you try to listen to the recorded message as the phone will be in headphone mode until you do. I enjoy this was very simple and needed no software to work. The phone just responds like this is a wired headset. GET ONE!!! GET TWO! Buy one for all your friends. It will make you happy inside... almost as good as a puppy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Headset Buddy Line-Level Audio Adapter with Built in Attenuation for iPhone, Smartphones, Soundboards and Mixers (iPhone-Mic-Line) - Amazon Basics 3.5mm Stereo Aux to 2 x RCA Audio Cable Adapters, 4 Feet/1.2 m, for Connecting Amplifiers, Speakers, with Gold-Plated Plugs, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/17303356-line-level-audio-adapter-with-built-in-attenuation-for-iphone](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/17303356-line-level-audio-adapter-with-built-in-attenuation-for-iphone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-06-17*
