This is a good product to allow regular headphones to be used with the IPOD shuffle 3rd generation.
By M. Djuric
I was very hopeful for this adapter. I've been waiting for it for several months so I could use my Shure headphones with the 3rd Gen shuffle. Belkin came to market first with their own adapter, but since it cost $30 I still waited for the Scosche unit, mainly because I pre-ordered it already and it was a significantly lower price.
I finally got the unit about a week ago. I used it approximately three times: first time just looking at it out of the box, and the following two times for approximately half an hour. At the end of my third use, the front panel of the controller fell off without any force, impact, or manhandling on my part. I put the panel back on and it partially snapped back into place, but it was pretty much a lost cause since it kept falling off after being touched once or twice. The same happened to S. Hendricks, who commented on this problem in another user's 5-star review. I will upload a picture of the broken device at the conclusion of this review so you can take a look for yourself.
So here I am, still waiting for a decent adapter. Of course, Belkin's adapter is now out of stock, so I can't even order that one. It sucks that Apple made people buy an external adapter if they wanted to use a good pair of headphones, but it's even worse that a company can't their act together after announcing the adapter six months ago.
Aside from that (major) flaw, everything else about the adapter worked fine. It felt cheap when being held, but it raised/lowered volume and skipped/paused songs like a champ. As far as I could tell, it did not degrade the quality of the sound, and it was small and flexible enough so I could put it in my headphone carrying case. I would have kept it for a long time if it didn't fall apart in my hands.

Most important: I am grateful to Scosche for producing this product so I can finally use the latest generation ipod shuffle with my favorites earphones (Westone)!
Pros
Sonically transparent
Easy to use once you learn the commands
Small
Does not increase size of the shuffle itself
Cons
Makes the earphone wire longer, and it's a little bit awkward.
Also, I had a little trouble with it after it sat in my gym bag in a hot car all day. Not sure if this is a sign of quality control problems (it was not THAT hot!).
Overall highly recommended.
