Anyone ever use a 2.5mm to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter?

Do not buy headphones from VZW, they are for the most part crap and break within a months time (if your lucky to have them for a month)

I dont usually buy direct from the carrier but i mean if you are buying a name brand product its going to be he same pos whether you get it vzw or where ever

True. Im not sure the last pair of headphones I got from VZW were brand name, they just had the name Verizon on it with their logo on it.

After using it probably a total of 20 times, one ear piece isn't coming through unless I jack around with the wire (main), close down by the jack.

My assumption is that one of the wires is hosed, and that I'm getting intermittent sound. I had originally bought them so that I could watch movies on flights, and not have a BT headset running while watching a movie. I don't know about you guys, but if I were to use BT and watch a 2 hour movie with TCPMP, I'd have close to no battery left.

Can someone reply, if: you have a 2.5-3.5 mm adapter that works without a hitch, and that has lasted you a decent amount of time?

I'm amazed that I spend close to $20 for this, and the wires/ shielding were so cruddy, that it's already giving me intermittent sound out of one "side".

I bought an adapter through Radio Shack with the same problem (played through 1 speaker).

I have used this for a couple of months, with no problems. I use the earbuds from my daughters i-pod with this adapter, or this adapter with an FM transmitter in my car, or this adapter at home hooked up to external speakers. I have had no problems, does not trigger voice recognition. When call comes in, music stops, press answer call, (if using earbuds) just speak (you hear call through earbuds...)/if playing music in car or through speakers, call plays through speakers or car radio.
