The iPhone's headphone jack is recessed so far into its body that hardly any third-party headphones actually fit.
You could just buy an extender but that only pipes the audio from your iPhone; for the full iPhone experience, you need a mic and a clicker; the first to let you make handsfree calls and the second to control the iPhone's playback and accept and end incoming calls.
Bulky headphones
This little adaptor lets you do all this and still use some decent headphones rather than Apple's poor white buds. It's not a perfect system; unless you have a very short cable from your headphones, you'll need to manage that extra cable, and while the clicker has a pleasingly positive action, it's bulky.
Worse, after only a few days of use, the fabric-covered cable showed signs of distress at the point where it joined the 3.5mm jack; we can't comment on the connection's longevity yet but it doesn't inspire confidence.

1. I've got this nice piece of device, am really happy with the use of it. But it gets into in problem easily. The cable sticking out from the talk piece gets torn easily... if they would reinforce it, it would be great.
Btw, their tech support is great, I exchanged this talk-piece for the 3rd time already, they just ask you to send them a picture of it destroyed, no question asked.
But still a hassle, cos you gotta wait in between...
