So you have the iPhone and want to use your favorite set of headphones with it. The problem is you can’t because the connector on the iPhone is recessed. If your like me I bought one at the Apple store for $9.00. Hey I had to have one to use with my Bose headphones. Sure $9.00 is a little steep but what are you going to do? What would you say if you could get an adapter cheaper and pay no shipping? Well today is your lucky day!
Helium Digital, a Canadian company specializing in trend forward accessories for digital devices, has announced the launch of their new HD-005 3.5mm Headphone adapter. The Helium Digital Headphone Adapter allows the use of all headphones that use a standard 3.5mm headphone jack to be used with devices such as the Apple iPhone®, or any other device with a recessed headphone port.
The recessed headphone port on the iPhone® prevents many standard 3.5 mm headphone jacks from fitting the device properly. With the HD-005 headphone adapter, you can be guaranteed that all headphones will work with your device, regardless of the brand. The headphone adapter can also be used in conjunction with the Helium Digital HDBT-750 Bluetooth Headphones to add wireless Bluetooth Stereo Audio to any device.

In addition, unlike some other headphones adapters available for the iPhone®, the HD-005 will act as an extension cable, carrying both the stereo audio and microphone signals from your device. This allows the adapter to be used with stereo headphones that have integrated microphone functionality, or it may be used with headphones designed solely for listening to stereo audio.
The HD-005 will have a suggested retail price of $3.99 (CAD), and is available for purchase direct from the Helium Digital website.
Introductory offer! –For a limited time only, receive FREE SHIPPING via regular post when purchasing this item direct from the Helium Digital web site.

Hey Steve,
How big is that adapter? How far does it stick out from the device. I may want to pick one up for my Touch when it comes.
Jerry,
It says it is 10 cm long. What I like about it is that it is flexible unlike the Belkin one which is ridgid. As soon as I get mine I will take a picture of it in the iPhone. Hell I might even do a video unboxing.. LOL
