C&E 6 Inch 3.5mm Female to 2 RCA Male Stereo Audio Y Cable, Nickel Plated Adapter Compatible for TV,Smartphones, MP3, Tablets, Speakers,Home Theater

As expected this was what the doctor ordered. Good quality and did what I needed. Interestingly it was basically impossible to buy this in any box store. They had plenty of RCA jacks to male but none to female. Worked great for my application. Had a set of wireless headphones to use with a TV, my new Toshiba flat-screen has no audio out jacks - how stupid is that. Apparently many flat screens are now coming out with no out audio jacks except the optical ones - duh what happened to the 3.5mm standard plug. It was a local Listen Up dealer that gave me a good viable solution. Using my Direct TV DVR box (which DOES have RCA audio out jacks - and separate from the other audio outs which allows me to mute the broadcast except for my headphones). That's where this adapter did the trick. Simple plugs into the DVR and then the headphones. Bought 2 adapters one for the DVR and one for Blue Ray player. Great solution that did the job!

I used this to hook up my computer speakers to my 40-in Sony Bravia TV, which only had RCA output audio jacks for an external audio source. Solution: Buy this handy-dandy converter, and I was able to instantly use my computer speakers. Of course, I wouldn't recommend using CHEAP computer speakers, as in, computer speakers that use the power from the computer to power them. That would probably break your TV. Mine were a bit nicer, and had a small subwoofer and had to have it's own power source (ie. a Power cable) The only problem is that this TV is unlike my old one, which had the capability to have computer speakers hook directly into one of the 'audio outputs' on the back of the TV, so I could control the volume using the TV remote. On this TV (and many others, I assume), by using this converter, my TV thinks that the audio is a separate device with it's own remote. Downside: I have to get up every time I want to turn up/down the TV. Eh, it's not that bad, considering I play movies/tv shows using my Phillips DivX dvd player. And for those that don't know what DivX is you had better get a word-a-day calendar or something because it is well worth the money. --------------------------- UPDATE 6/4/2010 - Product has been going strong for the past couple years. I have started to notice a low 'humming' coming from my speakers, but then again my Logitech speakers are now over 5 years old, so what can you expect?? I hooked them up to my digital piano and the humming was still present, so I know that it is my speakers and not the converter. I stand by my review I made over a year ago: get this if you want a simple way to connect your computer speakers to your TV! --------------------------- UPDATE 6/17/2011 - Product still going strong. I still use the same speakers, and I believe it is my TV itself that is producing the low-pitched 'humming' when the TV is on but the cable box isn't. It is not the fault of this product, at all. I also bought a female-to-female extension cord so I can play movies straight from my laptop to the TV (and connect the computer speakers to it while still keeping it behind the TV). --------------------------- LAST AND FINAL UPDATE 9/17/2012 - Wow, first, thank you for all the Helpful Votes! When I first bought this, I had no idea if it would even work, and there was only one-or-two other reviews. Now with over 300 reviews, I think I should e-mail someone and get a discount next time for all of these potential customers I brought in! The product has survived two moves (cross-state, too), being stomped on, and I caught my cat playing with it too one time, during the move. In either case, I should amend my review to say that it DOES give me super powers: it allows me to use computer speakers to connect to an RCA male output. I still have the same setup, my 40" Sony Bravia TV with my older-than-dirt Logitech speakers. Whenever friends come to visit, they ask why my sound is so much better than theirs (because they are using just the TV speakers in the flat-panel TV, which have no speaker cone...). I just point them towards this little product. If mine ever breaks, I will come back and update again, but I think this review speaks for itself: I still have the exact same one I bought four years ago! And finally, please, don't forget to mark this as "helpful" if you thought it was! Thanks everyone! :)

Bought this adapter in order to hook my TV RCA audio output to a simple 2.1 computer speaker set. Looked at WalMart (found a Scosche adapter with a few other iPad/Pod-centric accessories for $12, more than I needed), Radio Shack (the local store didn't even carry this type of adapter; would have required hooking 3+ different adapters together for this setup totaling around $24), Newegg -where I normally buy electronics- started at around $8.50 (either 8.50 for the cable and free shipping, or 1-3 bucks for the adapter and 5-10 bucks for shipping). My search ended once I tried Amazon. $1.49 and free shipping?! Almost too good to be true! Much to my amazement, the item (shipped from California) was delivered to my home (in Oregon) in 3 days, a day faster than a concurrent order I had made days prior (different company, different product). I plugged the adapter in, hooked the speakers up and everything works like a charm. I'll definitely check these guys out when I need similar items.

Luckily, I bought 2 of these connectors because one of them came with a plastic pole in one of the RCA plug-ins, rather than metal. The plastic pole was the same size/shape as the metal one, but of course it couldn't conduct any signal due to being made of plastic, so that channel was dead. The other example I bought had metal poles in both RCA plugs and works/sounds fine. I have no explanation for how this kind of connector could be made with a plastic RCA pole. The seller quickly refunded the $4.15 for the bad connector.

I purchased a few of these as an impulse since I wanted to connect a pair of Belkin F8Z492TTP Bluetooth Music Receiver components to my stero and a pair of powered speakers. For the price I was expecting cheaply made and flimsy cables that would be great for mating the receivers to RCA jacks in the stereo and in the powered speakers. Suffice to say I got more than I expected - and especially for eighty-eight cents and free shipping. For adapting 3.5mm to dual RCA the six inch length is more than adequate. What surprised me was the quality of the connectors, which are anything but cheap junk, and the gauge of the cable which is a step above what you would get at a dollar store. It makes one wonder how they can sell for such a low price and ship for free. Even more impressive, they seem to be noise-free, which is something I cannot say about some of the adapters I've used. I know that when something that's too good to be true should raise red flags, but in the case of these cables they are one of the rare instances when you get a lot more than you bargained for - and in a good way.

I wanted to play games quietly but my tv didn't have a headphone jack. So I bought these to get around that problem and they work very well. One problem though is that it exchanges my left earphone for my right, but I just switch the colors around (red in white and white in red). Some helpful advice: 1. Your tv has to have red and white "audio out" ports (usually in the back) 2. Like me, you may need a headphone extension cord. My headphones are a little short so my face is 2 feet away from the tv screen. 3. Many of you may run into a little problem where sound is coming from both the headphones and the tv which kinda defeats the purpose of the headphones. My solution was to turn the tv sound all the way down while the headphones were still plugged in. For some reason the sound for the tv speakers go down but not the headphones. Hope that helps.

Works great; it does what it is supposed to, left is left and right is right, provides a clean interconnect between subminiature and RCA. I believe it was Plato who said "necessity is the mother of invention" I finally got tired of putting up with the little speakers in the CRT-based squawk box (namely, a TV set) I use to watch my videos, I thought of a way of using a pre-existing amplified speaker system I used to use with my computer system. Knowing that said speakers use a subminiature stereo plug, I dug them out of the closet to measure the plug and shopped for an adapter that would work with the new setup. I already knew what I was missing but didn't realize just how much until I played my first video (Jumanji I believe); what a difference! It about blew me out of my chair. I probably could have gotten something similar elsewhere but it's a safe bet it would've cost more. Why pay more money then one has to? I know I don't have it to burn...

Just your standard red and white cables, but these are nice for the price. Usually cables like these come with a bunch of other stuff, it's hard to find these by them self for the price they are on here. They always try to come with the 10 foot cable to plug into your Sound System which increases the price another $10. That's what I saw a lot of, I looked in 4 different electronic outlets. They were always bundled with something so I gave up and came on here. 15 minutes, I found these, great price, snap in tight fit. Even tho a lot of people are into HDMI Cabeles, I am too. But I also have a Kenwood KR-A70 which is about 50 years old, it was made in the 60's. So therefor I do not have HDMI ports in the back, but this receiver packs a punch, I had a choice. Spend $450 on a new receiver or buy these, I bought these and I have them going to my PC. So now I can crank up my music when I'm streaming Amazon for more great products. 5 stars for sure.

Excellent

It does what it says

Good product, does the job.

Good product

Some time we faces low bass due to loss connection of this connector
