Firstly, the item I received is not what is pictured: there is no wire, just a straight plug. Second, it worked well the first time I used it to listen to music from my phone through my auxiliary output in my car, but it now only plays out of the left speaker. I tested it with a couple pairs of headphones and it's the same story. It makes an annoying clicking sound when moved around in the jack.At $1.20, I didn't need nor was I expecting anything fancy... just for it to work!
