It has many faults e.g. left right audio wrong way
First off I have bought 2 of these since I thought it was only a faulty one I had.
The channels on both are reversed when using the adapter so the left speaker is playing the right channel audio (don't know how you can consistently mess that up must be a design fault).
Secondly they don't work when it is below zero celsius.

Warranty replacement

Unfortunate experience
Sadly, the product is not holding up like it used a few years ago. My last two lasted me maybe a month. Most unfortunately, I have been waiting 2 months for warranty replacement.

Works til it doesn't
Product does what it says but the cable is a little flimsy. Stopped working intermittently after4 months and completely after about 6 months. Replacement time with agent took longer than product was worth in my time. Agent was hard to communicate with. Got charged 3 times for replacement and supervisor not available.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When you work in audio production everyone has their music on their phone sooo you need to be able to retrieve it, this cable makes it so easy and you can charge it at the same time!

I wish the Rockstar more durable, these are best.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second purchase of this item. The cord near the part that connects to my phone wears down and frays. I’m upset that the cord isn’t made more rugged. I own 2 of these Y jacks and in both the same problem with fraying. It is an expensive item. I tried to buy similar Y-Jacks but the quality of the clones is ter...

Just dandy
It took somebody else to improve and correct Apple’s blunder of removing a simple function. Charge and wired audio connection at the same time who needs that? It appears everyone buying this connecter. Hey Apple what was the problem with making this yourself ?

This is a handy adaptor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This USB-C charging and audio adaptor is a lifesaver for me! I was constantly switching out my different dongles and adaptors. But now with this adaptor, all I need is one USB-C cable that fits my headphones and I dont lose the USBc input. It's so convenient and makes charging up much easier. Highly recommended product...

Excellent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Belkin tends to be a brand I enjoy. This phone splitter does what it needs to do, is not too bulky, and seems to be made of pretty standardized materials. It is unfortunate to need this accessory, but I would rather have it than not.

Quick two in 1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We some old stereos in the pool hall and around the barn that don’t have Bluetooth, this makes it pretty quick and straight forward in being able to play music and charge your phone at the same time for stereos that still used the AUX cable.
