2.5MM male to 3.5mm female adapter $1.15 + Free Shipping

[LiquidIce1337]

Ok so I was searching for a 2.5 to 3.5mm stereo cable for my Treo650 and I happened across this deal.

All the other sites were advertising competitive prices to this but with $5.99+ shipping for something that can be shipped for less than a dollar!

Free Airmail Shipping, can't beat that

$1.15 out the door, I havent read any reviews about Deal Extreme but for 1.15 im willing to take the chance.

My first hot deal post btw, hope it's not a failure!

That's a great deal, I'd have jumped on it in a second if I still had my old phone. The new one has a new, proprietary connector on it. Grrr.

By the way, you should put "$1.15 shipped" in the subject line.

I've ordered from them twice. Reputable, and they have some really neat stuff for small $. Note that they are is Asia (Hong Kong or China?). Free shipping takes awhile, and the quality of some stuff isn't the greatest. But they have extensive customer feedback listed for many products, which gives you a good idea as to what you're getting.

Online customer service is good. I bought a headlamp that broke & they replaced it at no cost to me, they just asked for a digital pic of the broken product first.

That will put a lot of stress on your tiny jack.

Grrr, Nokia and their proprietary clip-on adaptor for 2.5mm...

 

[zig3695]

no kidding, id much rather have the kind that has a cord on it... more like an extension cable. usually those have volume controls in them too

Definately not trying to thread crap but thought I've give my 2 cents. I recently bought a 3.5-2.5 connector from Javoedge for my Palm Centro.

Javo-Edge 3.5 - 2.5 adapter

It's the low-stress flexible kind and you can get a 2-pack for $5.98 shipped. They work great and only took 3 days to get to my house.

DX has great prices but I prefer not to wait 3 weeks just to receive a product from hong Kong. My last DX purchase was a flashlight and I waited 3 weeks before it came. Once it got here it was defective. I had to send it back and by the time I received a replacement it was 9 weeks after my original order.

None, taken I agree it is a long wait. It's a hit-or-miss. $5.98 does that include shipping? I might be curious to get one of those, but I really wanted the small adapter. I may just mod my treo with a 3.5mm hack job but we'll see how I feel when my new housing/casing comes if I feel daring enough. Thanks for the info

Try This one Its not so hard on the phone

careful guys!
make sure your phone doesn't require a 4 pin adapter. The last 2 phones I had (mm9000 & ppc6700) would only output mono if I tried to use a standard 3-pin.
just FYI

good call. I think mine (Samsung Gleam) needs the 4 pin.

Don't need one of the adapters, but just wanted to comment on the site itself. Cool products, cheap prices and free shipping! Good find!

. . . or is that cheap products and cool prices? Either way, thanks!

 

[DSLer]

Thanks! I've got some good headphones, but the plug was too big for my 8125.

Mine shipped yesterday, but just found out that I need 4 pin adapter than 3 pin.

sorry to hear, at least you didn't have to pay for shipping! Thats the deal maker for me, although I hope mine works with my treo 650 when it get's here not sure if I need a 4 pin one either. If so no big deal just a long shipping wait. Long waits are humbling though lol

They have a single pack and a 2 pack.

2 pack
6.38 shipped

single pack
5.38 shipped

Looks like they ship from WA state, since I'm from WA and they charged me tax.

 

[0roo0roo]

frys sells them for 5 bucks.
3 pin not 4 though, has button and mic clip

 

[BigLar]

Regarding the seller, these were the guys that were/are selling the high-powered green lasers. I bought one of those; it works great and they ship time was reasonable. My wife hates it, though, as she's convinced I'm going to blind everyone in the joint...

 

[keeftea]

thks for the info
