I work for an air ambulance company (one that cant rhyme or spell, if you get what I mean) and they purchased these cords for all their rotor wing aircraft so we can hear the Doppler probe while in flight. I was so impressed by the build quality that I bought one for myself so I can plug in some music on empty legs. I have told many of my colleagues that the cord is worth more than its weight in gold! I previously purchased a Bluetooth adapter from an online auction site and always found it didnt provide enough volume. I dont have that problem with this cord. Either plugged directly into my device or with a cheap Bluetooth adapter, the volume is loud enough to hear the music clearly and not too loud that I cant hear it when someone talks. Obviously you can adjust your own volume but the top volume was my primary concern. One advantage to buying it here is the cost to purchase for Canada was significantly cheaper than buying it from the manufacturer directly. It was delivered crazy fast, quick enough to be on my helmet for my next shift... where it hasnt left since. Excellent purchase!

This adapter does ok. It makes some static when the aux is rotated in the device. It’s not quite loud enough when plugged into my phone but does okay with the iPod. Music doesn’t pause when ICS or radio is going but I don’t mind for the type of flying I do, probably explains the volume thing too. Overall it’s easier then the Bluetooth ones, and my passengers can’t hear it over their headsets which is great.
