This review is from: FiiO L3 Line Out Dock (LOD) Cable For iPod and iPhone (Electronics) Searched high and low but could find no direct statement that said the item worked with iPhone 4's dock. Bought it on chance and was pleasantly surprised it worked without a problem. The reason I questioned its functionality is that my other LOD I use with my 5th generation iPod does not work with the iPhone 4. I knew the pin outs changed at some point in time in the evolution of the ipod dock but couldn't recall the specifics. This get more confusing when you consider that my USA spec car stereo interface can go between my iPhone and iPod with no problems. Enough about connectivity.
The device clips in well to the iPhone's dock and is slim enough to work easily with my phone cover without interference. A small strain relief supports the cable where it exists the dock connector. I was expecting the cable to be a bit thicker since this is a step up from the Fiio L1. None the less it has good flexibility to permit connecting back to a headphone amp with a 180 degree...Read more 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: By Doctor Subie "Subaru Physician" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: FiiO L3 Line Out Dock (LOD) Cable For iPod and iPhone (Electronics) Great, inexpensive LOD for my iPod nano. Worked flawlessly, seems to be well made. The connector to the iPod itself fits in snugly, and it is held in place with spring-loaded buttons on the side that you press to release it. The cable terminating in the mini-jack seems to be of good thickness and quality, with lettering on the side that says "HPC"--which I can only presume to mean high-purity copper (a nice touch). Only downside (hence 4 stars) is that the cable isn't very long, maybe approx. 4", forcing my iPod to sit very close (and out of reach/sight) of my car's mini-jack input. I'll be looking to get an extension for this otherwise excellent product! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: FiiO L3 Line Out Dock (LOD) Cable For iPod and iPhone (Electronics) This is a worthy upgrade from using a standard headphone output which has a much lower grade sound quality, especially in devices like the Ipod that have a significantly lower quality headphone jack. This L3 bypasses the headphone jack completely and feeds the audio straight from the sound card into your headphone amp or line out into your receiver. It was indeed worth the investment, but not for portability if you get the long cord version! I ordered this cord expecting it to look like it did in the picture, being perfectly sized to bundle with a portable amp for portable use. However, what i received was the same unit but with a 2-foot long non-adjustable cord. Plugging it in to my headphone amp leaves a great bundle of excess cord that is completely unnecessary and completely non portable. My audiophile set up is already becoming a bigger and bigger clutter of wires and devices and with this L3 it becomes completely impractical to the point where i would bite the downgrade and use...Read more |
