Product Description

Shures Music Phone Adapter MPA-3C is the only adapter of the bunch to take a bigger-picture approach to iPhone headphone port modification. Rather than just connecting your old earphones to the iPhone MPA-3C adds to them an in-line microphone and control button box which is found at one end of its cable. In so doing it converts your earphones into a complete alternative to the iPhone Stereo Headset included by Apple in every iPhone box capable of interrupting audio immediately to handle phone calls. Because the microphone needs to be near your mouth Shures extension cable is nearly three feet longsix or seven times longer than the ones in other adaptersand includes a lapel clip to keep the microphone at neck level. Its best suited to earphones such as Shures that split off at around your neck level into two separate cables. Shure also includes a silver button on back to let you do the same things the iPhone Stereo Headsets button can do namely take or end calls play or pause music and skip forward one track at a time with a double button press. The button works exactly as expected: single clicks start or finish calls and switch between paused and playing modes for audio. Quick double-clicks skip forward a track in the current collection of playing songs. The bulbous button box on MPA-3C is easier to click than the neat but small version on Apples Headset. Shure also offers a 2 year limited warranty on this product! Low-profile VoicePortTM Microphone: Tuned to enhance intelligibility regardless of background noise this professional-grade Shure microphone uses VoicePort technology to provide superior sound quality and ensure that callers hear you clearly even in noisy environments. Control Button: Offers enhanced functionality and convenience by enabling you to easily send and end callswithout touching your phone. Additionally with many phones the control button activates call waiting last number redial voice dialing and mute.

Customer Reviews

Only work Half the time.
Brought these thinking Shure would mean good quality, seems mine only work half the time, if the plug moves while iphone is in my pocket headphones continue to work but speaker and button don't. Bit confusing, will return and hope replacement is better.

Good, but fragile
I was under the impression that Shure produced decent-sounding, robust items. That seems to be the case with their headphones I have, but the MPA adapter falls somewhat short on the second point. After 3 months the connection in the plug went, rendering them basically useless. Not impressed.

Mine works fine... so far
Got this a month ago to go with my iphone and Shure 530 and it works very well, so far anyway.
