Mic-Lock 3.5mm for Headphone Port - Microphone Audio and Data Security - Privacy Protector for Laptops, Smartphones, Tablets, and Computers (Black, Single Pack)

I love these, they do exactly as advertised.

I originally bought the purple, & somehow it bent. So, I bought the gray. It works well for recording phone calls that don't require the mic. Leaving the mic open, causes unwanted feedback on the recording. I will buy another soon.

Works great! Does exactly what I needed it to do

I thought it would just block my office laptop from listening 👂🏼 to my conversations but it actually turned off the volume completely. So I wouldn’t hear 👂🏼 calls or messages which if that’s what I wanted I would’ve just put it on mute. 🔇

Bought a 5 pack. Laptop 1 (Acer): No change, device still uses internal mic, but the mic-bloc cuts out the speakers, so I can't block the mic without losing the ability to watch a movie or do youtube, etc. Laptop 2 (HP): Mic-block works, but by completely killing the recording function of the laptop. As soon as you plug it in, the laptop stops recording, firing off a recording error message. They look nice though. I'm not saying they won't work for everyone, quite possible with some windows tweaking, and maybe depending on drivers etc on your laptop possibly they could work fine. Update Feb 4th, 2019 - The owner of the company, Ric, reached out to work with me on the issues I was having, and has offered some awesome alternative suggestions that look like they will help. That is great personalized customer service, I've changed my rating to 5 stars based on this. The customer experience is important and they really came through for me. Thanks Ric!

Fwiw, completely eliminates audio on my MacBook Air macOS Tahoe 26.0.1.

Tested it and it will work to block malware from listening in over your cell phone. I've not tested it yet on laptops yet, but I've ordered another 10. You do have to remember to take it out when placing or making a call. My Iphone still rings so I know a call is coming in, but you will not be able to speak and the other person hear you, nor hear them until the jack is removed. Spyware is cheap and easy to acquire, most people have download so many free apps, and not read the terms and conditions, they are not aware they have allowed these free apps to use their mic, camera, and GPS. This handy device fakes that a mic and headphone is in use. This will not be useful on smartphones with no mic/headset jack.

Why does this also have to block the speaker so I can't watch youtube videos?

wertige Verarbeitung, macht hoffentlich was er soll

value for money

It works. Need I say more?

Excellent product that just perfectly works in laptops, iMac and mobile phones. The mic-lock is well built and uses quality materials. On some devices it will stick out a bit but doesn’t affect it working. Highly recommended

I plugged the unit to my smartphone. The smartphone is supposed to believe there is an external microphone connected and disable the built-in microphones. To validate this I recorded a video with the Mic-Lock properly plugged. When I played back the video all the sound was there. I tried several times and it never blocked the microphones. Conclusion: Does not work as expected.
