One coiled cable links your external mic to your phone's headset input, so your audio stays clear while you walk and talk on location. The TRS and TRRS plugs are gold-plated and the strain relief is built for daily bag carry.
Coiled cable links a compatible external mic to your phone with the right TRS-to-TRRS connection
- phone needs TRRS input for external microphone
- bulky straight cables tangle or stretch awkwardly
- mismatched TRS/TRRS plugs prevent audio pickup
Clean sound from your mic, straight to your phone
Before: thin phone audio and a tangled cable on location. After: one coiled TRS-to-TRRS link that holds up while you film.
A coiled cable that moves with you
A coil that stretches and recoils
The spring coil pulls out far enough to reach from your phone to a mic on a jacket or a stand. When you let go, it folds back into a compact loop, so the cable stays off the ground and out of the tangle at the bottom of your bag.
TRS in, TRRS through
The black 3.5mm TRS plug goes into the mic. The grey 3.5mm TRRS plug goes into your phone's headset input, which is the jack that accepts an external mic. Each end is marked by housing colour, so you can match the pair in the dark before a shoot.
Gold contacts and strain relief
Both plugs carry gold-plated contacts, which keep the signal path clean over repeated plug-ins. A ribbed right-angle strain relief sits on each housing, so the bend takes the stress instead of the solder joint. This is where cheap cables usually fail first.
Connect it in four steps
- 1Plug the TRS end into the mic
Push the black right-angle plug into the 3.5mm output on your wireless mic or shotgun mic until it seats.
- 2Plug the TRRS end into the phone
Insert the grey right-angle plug into your phone's 3.5mm headset jack. Press until it clicks, then give it a gentle tug.
- 3Test with headphones
Wear earbuds on the phone and speak at normal distance. You should hear the mic, not the phone's built-in mic.
- 4Record a 10-second clip
Shoot a short test and listen back before you roll. Hold the ribbed housing to unplug, never the wire.

Questions and answers
Yes, if your mic has a 3.5mm TRS output. The black right-angle plug goes into the mic, and the cable is built around the Boya and RØDE wireless range, which includes the SC7, SC2 and Little Bee. Look at the mic's output jack before you order, because the plug type is what decides the fit.
Yes. The grey TRRS plug goes into the phone's 3.5mm headset jack, and that jack has to carry a microphone channel. Most phones with a 3.5mm jack have it. If your phone only has USB-C, you need a separate USB-C to 3.5mm adapter with a TRRS input, because this cable cannot add that input on its own.
The coil stretches to reach across a shoot and springs back to a compact shape. Gold-plated contacts and ribbed right-angle strain relief on both plugs protect the joints where cables usually break. Hold the housing when you unplug it and the cable handles daily carry without trouble.
A straight cable tangles in a bag and pulls at the phone, and a loose plug can cost you a whole interview. This one costs less than a single ruined take that you cannot reshoot, and it stays in your kit for every shoot after that.
Yes, as long as the shotgun mic has a 3.5mm TRS output. The windscreen sits on the mic and does not touch the connection, so the cable works the same way with or without it.
