Buyers might feel let down by the high 2,499 rupee price tag for a simple cable adapter, especially if they end up switching to wireless headphones later.

Buy it if

If you are a heavy commuter or gamer using a modern smartphone without a headphone jack, paying ₹2,499 makes sense if you refuse to switch to wireless earbuds. You get the freedom to charge at 60W while using your trusty 3.5mm wired headphones for zero latency audio. Just keep in mind that this high price tag is a steep investment for a simple adapter cable. If you own a recent iPad Pro or Pixel device and frequently need to take long conference calls while topping up your battery, this adapter keeps you connected without audio dropouts. At ₹2,499, the built-in DAC ensures your microphone and music sound clear. The minor trade-off is carrying an extra dongle around in your pocket every single day.

Skip it if

If you already use wireless Bluetooth headphones or if your phone still has a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack, you should completely skip this accessory. At ₹2,499, spending money on an audio splitter is a waste when you can buy decent wireless earbuds or standard cables for much less money instead. If you are on a tight budget looking for a basic charging splitter, skip this expensive Belkin adapter and look for more affordable third-party options online. Paying ₹2,500 for a single dongle is hard to justify when cheaper alternatives offer similar dual functionality without the premium brand tax attached.
