| | Description | Grado offers a mini adaptor cable that converts a 1/4 inch (6.3mm) plug to 1/8 inch (3.5mm) plug. The mini adaptor cable has a 1/8 inch (3.5mm) plug then 8 inches (20cm) of cable connected to a 1/4 inch (6.3mm) jack. The 8 inches (20cm) of cable eliminates added leverage on the output circuit board of the source. The mini adaptor cable is constructed of the same high quality wire as their headphone cable. Grado guarantees no degradation of sonic quality with Grado headphones while using their mini adaptor cable. | |

 Excellent Adaptor To Go With Your Excellent Cans Jan 05, 2010
By Ed R.
I own a pair of Sennheiser HD-555 headphones. What I didn't realize when I initially bought them was that the HD-555 terminates to a large 1/4 inch plug. It came with the standard straight adaptor to a 1/8 inch plug, but I was concerned about putting stress on the headphone connectors on my devices. The Grado Prestige Mini Adaptor Cable alleviated my concerns wholeheartedly.
The Grado adaptor cable is surprisingly long and built like a tank. I measured it at 10 inches long! It's nearly an extension cable! But seriously, both ends are sufficiently strengthened and the cable is high quality. They even include a fairly large vinyl pouch to store the adaptor.
Why do you need the Grado vs. el cheapo from say, Radio Shack? You probably don't. I'm of the mindset that nearly all cables perform about the same and that most people cannot tell the difference. But if you own good quality headphones, do you really want to chance the adaptor degrading the sonic quality? Grado guarantees no degradation while using their adaptor.
If you own nice headphones and need an adaptor, consider the Grado's. If you are using a straight adaptor, you may be adding stress to your audio source board, which may damage it over time. You can get less expensive adaptors (Hosa) or more expensive ones (Cardas), but I think the Grado's are just right. Also, this baby is Made in The USA.

indispensible Aug 15, 2006
By Dave
This is a fantastic product. When you use your typical 1/4" to 1/8" adapter, it results in a huge plug. This plug then puts a lot of weight and strain and stress on the small and thin 1/8" jack. This adapter gets rid of this problem so you won't damage your 1/8" jack.

Quality Adapter Dec 22, 2008
By D. Torcivia
More expensive than I would have liked to have paid, this adapter is extremely high quality and saves my much more expensive headphones from stress on the plug. I'm glad I bit the bullet and bought it as this relatively minor cost is far less than replacing my headphones.
As always with Grado products, the quality is awesome.

Sennheiser, I am disappoint Sep 28, 2010
By Kobe
I, like many of the reviewers, own a Sennheiser headphone. The reason we had to buy an another adapter was because the one that comes with the headphone is not a cable, but a regular plug-in like the 1/8 to 1/4 adapter which puts too much weight on a headphone output. Later I realized Sennheiser were selling adapters like this Grado one with a SEPARATE purchase. Ayo forreal? Why couldn't they just include THOSE adapters on HD555 and HD595 headphones? Frustrated by their decision I decided to buy Grado's adapter instead of Sennheiser's, and so far with 6 months of use I have no complaints. Very sturdy and works perfectly.

gets the job done Jul 20, 2009
By A. Wang
I got this to replace the adaptor that was included with my Sennheiser HD-555. The extra length of cable gives nice flexibility, so unlike the adaptor included with Sennheisers, you don't have to worry so much about the plug snapping off.
