If your new smartphone is lacking a 3.5mm headphone jack and you’re not keen on spending thousands of Rands on a pair of Bluetooth headphones or earphones, then you might want to take a look at the iTrip Clip Bluetooth Audio Adapter from Griffin.

“iTrip Clip ensures users can continue using their favorite 3.5mm headphones, with no worries about if their new smartphone eliminated the headphone jack,” said Andrew Biddle, Category Manager of Power at Griffin. “Not only can our iTrip Clip make any pair of headphones wireless, it also puts the convenience of a Bluetooth sound system into any car.”

How Does It Work?

iTrip Clip connects wirelessly to any smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth 4.1.
You’ll be able to connect any 3.5mm headphones, earbuds or AUX cables to the compact, self-powered adapter in order to listen to music and (the audio from video) or make calls, without cables.

The iTrip Clip has several features to make it more user friendly such as play, volume, and track controls, as well as an integrated mic to receive calls and easily access Siri, Google Now, and other voice recognition apps.

In addition to these features, iTrip Clip also has a set-and-forget configuration which allows it to reconnect to paired devices automatically once it is in wireless range (approx. 30 feet or 10 meters). It also has a rechargeable Li-ion battery which boasts 6 hours play/talk time and 180 hours on standby. The iTrip Clip also connects to car stereos with an AUX to listen to any smartphone wirelessly if the vehicle does not already offer Bluetooth connectivity.

The best part is that the iTrip Clip works with both iOS and Android devices.

The Griffin iTrip Clip is available for R499.
