One Side, Good Sound, Stereo-to-Mono Earbud

Review: Great stereo-to-mono earpiece – TRRS plug works perfectly with Vocaster & Scarlett Solo, no adapter! - Exactly what I wanted for podcasting and voice-over: true stereo-to-mono (both channels summed), comfortable for long sessions, excellent isolation, and clear sound. It uses a TRRS (4-pole / three black rings) 3.5 mm plug instead of the usual 2-ring TRS. I was worried at first, but it plugs straight into both my Focusrite Vocaster and Scarlett Solo headphone outputs and works perfectly at full volume — no adapter, no low volume, no glitches, no issues at all. Just make sure the plug is fully seated (some cheap/recessed ¼” adapters can prevent that). Once it is, you’re good to go. Highly recommended for any podcaster or broadcaster who needs one ear free!
Review: If you have Single Sided Deafness, this is the earbud for you! - This earbud has exceptional quality and sound. It is perfect for persons like myself who have Single Sided Deafness. I am deaf in my right ear and ear buds are useless to me because I cannot hear full stereo sound. This stereo to mono ear bud allows me to hear the L and R stereo sound in my one good ear. I purchased this earbud in 2022, and I have not had any problems with sound quality. In fact it has improved the quality of my TV sound. When I am up late at night watching TV, I do not wish to disturb my wife. I plug this stereo to mono earbud into my Roku remote and I hear background sounds and vocals that I never heard before with my surround sound system. I have returned to desertcart to purchase another earbud to use in my bedroom, and I thought I would leave this review. I have read some other reviews about the cord becoming kinked and tangled. Here is a tip: I used to wrap up the cord to stay better organized when I put it away in my backpack, but when I unwrapped it, it would be kinked up and never straighten out properly. So, I started just putting it loosely in my backpack, and now it has no kinks in it at all when I take it out. If you have Single Sided Deafness, this is the earbud for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good build and sound quality.
*by D***K on October 31, 2025*

I have tested a few mono (1-ear) earphones and this is the best. It also comes at the highest cost. The JLabs at half the price is almost as good but the sound quality, especially the base is better here. They also seem to be well made. The apple ear phones are still the best for sound in my opinion. But sometimes I do not want both ears plugged in.
