Doesn't work consistantly
I purchased this adapter for my iPhone 8 plus. It is hit or miss. I will be returning this headphone adapter. I plugged my Apple charger and headphones in, and then plugged the adapter in my phone. I started my music & it came thru my phone. Second time, I was listening to music, and the music just stopped. When I it the play button on my phone, the music again came thru the phone again, not my headphones. I was embarrassed this was happening while in my office. This will be returned. This didn't work as stated.

Broke after one day.
Very disappointing. I was so excited to finally be able to charge while listening to my iPhone. Used this at work one day and it worked perfectly. Second time I went to use this I tried to plug the power source in and the cord would not push in. I looked inside and it appeared like a small meatle piece had come out of place and was not allowing the plug to slide into place. This was not moved and tossed about, rather sat on my desk all night and never worked again. Very upset I wasted my money for one day.

Enough power to support the Android devices
What promise the product made, it delivers 90%. Not bad.Currently, I'm using Samsung Note 2 and S3, HTC One M7, LG G2X, and the Samsung Tablet 7.1. Side units would be a dock station with an old brick of a phone (VX6800).Charging USB cable: Media Bridge's cables, Samsung's original cables, and various PC shield cables USB2/USB3.All Android units have been updated to at least OS 4.3 (Jelly Bean while Note 2 and S3 is running on KitKat), with charging monitoring apps.** Single port charging **The NA (Non-Apple) port will charge all devices, Android, Pocket PC, or not. Charging the port by itself, with the range from 5% to 50%, or from 5% to 100%, the draw is the same: 1030mAH. The port, surprisingly, is certified and recognized by the picky Samsung Tablet 7.1. Most of the chargers I have from 2.1A to 4.3A, wall or car charger, they all not recognized by the Tablet for charging while it's on. Behold, the charger got recognized and charged while I'm using the it.The A (Apple) port, same charging rating for all devices above, minus the inability to be recognized by the Tablet for charging while it's on.** Dual ports charging **Two units are plugged together, and monitored at the same time. The charging rate fluctuate between 1030mAH, and at time, drops to 900mAH for the A port, while the NA port maintained at 1030mAH.** Charging rate, both single and dual ports, when the batteries were at: 5% to 50%, 10% to 60%, 20% to 70%, 50 to 80%, and even from 90% to 100%. Same rate reported like above.

Buy at your own risk, not worth it.
Yes, this charger works, but is it worth burns and possibly setting your house on fire? I noticed after a while that the charger was extremely hot to the touch, this was only charging one device at a time (e.g. iPad or iPhone). I took my food thermometer probe and measured the temp at 120.4°F - this is an actual burn risk. I went here to review and notify other potential buyers, and was horrified by the photos of actual melted chargers. Quick scan of the reviews does not show that the manufacturer, seller, or Amazon has made any effort to rectify the situation, which makes this a rather scary liability situation. Caveat emptor.

Powerful charger, excellent price, wow design-a best buy
I recently reviewed the Kensington AbsolutePower Dual 2.1A USB Wall Charger with USB Adapter (K39373US) which I rated highly and the Anker® 18W / 3.6A Wall Charger - The First and Only Adapter Capable of Delivering Simultaneous, Full-Speed Charges to iPads and Smartphones which I returned and labeled misleading.This PowerGen wall charger can and does charge both an iPad and an iPhone 5 simultaneously. One port delivers 2.1 amps while the other charges with 1.5 amps. 1.5 amps is more than sufficient to quick charge an iPhone 5. An iPad with its larger battery capacity and power consumption should be charged from the 2.1 port, something you should pay attention when charging. Since the Apple branded wall charger (Apple 5W USB Power Adapter) only delivers 1 amp, a 2.1 wall charger delivers a full charge over two times faster. This is the recharging speed you want for your iPad.By contrast, the Kensington charger delivers 2.1 amps to both ports. It is significantly more expensive and unlike the PowerGen model's designer colors (white and black) it comes only in hardware store brown. My guess is Jonny Ive, Apple's design chief would much prefer the PowerGen charger.The PowerGen wall charge isn't the best, Kensington holds that honor, but it is the best buy.

I use this regularly, so far so good
Unrelated to product:I have this attached to a power strip that I shut off when I am not using. It's an easier way to stop all those chargers from vampire usage that can cause your electric bill to rise. I also don't like to keep chargers powered on when not in use due to safety concerns.Things I like:Once I figured out I needed to use the NA port to charge my Nexus 4 it worked fine for me.It charges my fitbit very fast on the NA port.It mounts sideways on an outlet, which means it generally doesn't block other outlets - including those on power strips.It is white, so I can find it easier in my bag. I am buying new devices in a color other than black so I can see them easier inside my bags/purse.Things I don't like:The manual has such small type, so I had to put on my "magnifying" glasses to determine what NA versus A meant. Hint A = 2.x amp charger (good for apple, not good for Nexus 4), NA = 1.x amp (not enough for some apple devices, good for Nexus 4).Before I figured out I needed to use the NA port vice the A port, I was charging my Nexus 4 on the A port and my Nexus became very hot. I seem to recall having trouble getting it to wake up/respond to the touch screen until I was able to let it cool down and then power it off/drain the battery. I am sticking with the charger supplied by Google for Nexus 4 vice using this device.
