 good mike, bad connector September 11, 2008

As noted before, the connector is too big. Wearing it in a hip holster makes it a lever against my hip. after 3 weeks its plug into the iphone is bent/loose and one channel keeps cutting in and out, or doesn't work altogether. Pity, the mike quality was pretty good, and I didn't have to deal with extended headphone cords.

I've had the iSoniTalk for about 6 months now and have used it for a variety of situations. I purchased the iSoniTalk because I wasn't ready to ditch my in-ear Sony MDR-71 headphones but needed to be able to use them fully with my iPhone. br / br /The Good News br /1. The iSoniTalk works as advertised. It allows any standard set of headphones to work as a phone headset and overcome the 1st gen iPhone recessed jack flaw. br / br /2. The call quality is fine with iSoniTalk as long as the microphone stays in place (see Bad News #2 below). br / br /The Bad News br /1. As the other reviewers have noted the adapter that connects to the iPhone is too large...it makes the overall headset connection much longer. This is a pain because the Sonys use a right-angle adapter (which worked great with my 1st gen nano). br / br /2. The interior of the microphone clip is nearly smooth, with the exception of a small plastic ridge. I imagine that the gang from Monster thought that this ridge was going to act as a "catch" to keep the mike from pulling off your shirt. It doesn't work very well. The #1 reason why people suddenly can't hear me? The mike has fallen off my shirt. It doesn't take much strain for the mike to fall...walking through O'Hare will do it. br / br /It's a middling grade for the iSoniTalk even though I use it frequently. I'll continue to use it until I decide to find a suitable replacement for the Sonys that have the mike built-in.

I have gone through both the monster i sonic and now the griffin i-talk. br / br /First let's start with the Monster, outgoing call quality may be better that the Griffin but it has a huge and fatal flaw, and that is the dongle itself. The Monster has a huge connector, which at first may not seem like a big deal, but it acts like a lever when put it into your pants pocket. It will definitely remove your headphone jack from the iphone circuit board, it in fact did so in less than a week after purchase. (Thank you Apple Store SF. for letting me upgrade to 16gb as I returned my broken phone) This is just through normal use, I was even pretty cautious as I just bought the phone, if you put the phone in your shirt pocket that may help, but ultimately even that will lead failure. br / br /Now lets move on to the Griffin. They took a different route. With this you plug your headphones into the top of the cable which makes for a much lower profile at the phone itself, but as noted adds that length to your current headphone cord. I am lucky to have fairly new headphones that allow for replaceable cords ( Bose OnEar if you are interested.) so the Griffin just replaces that which is pretty sweet. Now the bad news. The cord on the Griffin has a vinyl cover which seems to be the rage these days. I am not sure why however as in my exierience they blow. The problem is that the material is relatively stiff and now the cable is failing at the connector (hey at least its not my phone this time). So long story short avoid the Monster at all costs, and if you can manage to not trip over the Griffin's cord maybe buy 2 at a time as the crappy cord materials make it disposable at best. br / br /Can I please get a decent solution? One with full functionality ( I am looking at you Bose). The i-phone is awesome it amazes me that noone can figure out the friggin cord though.
unique, but flawed January 14, 2008

I got this product for christmas (less than a month ago), after searching for the perfect solution to the iPhone's recessed headphone jack. This had a unique design that looked sturdy and well thought out, and it was cheaper than the shure headphone adapter for iphone. br / br /My first impression was one of my worst fears, this is going to suck to have in your pocket. It just sticks out too far from the headphone jack, especially since headphones requiring this generally have bulky plugs. The next thing I realized is that the design, with the mic cord coming out directly beside the new headphone port, still limits the size of the headphone plug. My high end Sennheisers require an 1/4 to 1/8 headphone adapter already, and the resulting 1/8 plug is too bulky to plug into the iSoniTalk because the mic wire is too close to the port! Next, less than a month later with only very few uses, it seems there's a loose connection in the adapter assembly so that sound cuts in and out (it went from annoying to impossible in very short order. This is getting sent back and I'm getting the Shure headphone adapter instead. It's design is much more practical, with the only flaw being that it extends the headphone cord quite a bit. br / br /That said, the mic assembly and button felt good and was lightweight, and I've been told the call voice quality was good.
