I think you'll like the adapter and I recommend it highly, but you should know that what you receive does NOT look like the photo that accompanies the item listing here on Amazon.com. The adapter I received is a single "L"-shaped piece of plastic, with the GBA SP connector (male) in one end and a hole for a 1/8" mini-plug from your headphones in the other end. Although the housing is plastic, it seems very sturdy - and the contact surfaces are obviously of adequate quality, since the sound you can extract is very good. The unit is also a relatively small, out-of-the-way, and securely anchored addition to the GBA SP's profile. The only way you might damage the adapter is if you dropped it (mounted on your GBA SP) on a hard floor or smacked it into something while you were playing.
Have fun rockin' out to your GBA SP with a set of stereo headphones! I am!
Pros: Sound is just as good as with the older gba's built-in output jack
Cons: Cable is a bit tight when inserting/removing from the gba sp port.
In terms of the headphone side of things, I almost returned this item until I found out that the headphones should not go into the jack all the way. The sound quality is best when it’s just barely in there, tight enough to not fall out, but still very loose, like an 8th of an inch out the connector. If you put it in all the way, not only will it be difficult to remove, but the sound will be extremely quiet.
Overall, 4 stars, build quality is cheap but that’s a given for after market products, and if you know how to use it the thing works pretty well.
One thing to keep in mind though is that you cannot use this and charge your SP at the same time as they both use the same jack. So if you want to play with headphones exclusively or something, you'll need to keep your SP charged so you won't have to switch to the wall outlet when your battery turns red. Well, that or just wait until it's fully charged before playing again of course. But that'll be a few hours and if you're excited to finish something, well, good luck fighting the urge, ha ha!
Lastly, I would like to warn you about a couple of things. First of all, you might not get a product matching the image in the description. A few reviewers said they received a different item. Second, the product connects to the charging port of your console. This means you can not charge your GBA SP and have this adapter in it at the same time (Although I can't imagine why you'd want to). Lastly, the adapter is a very tight squeeze and requires force to get it in and out of your system.
I hope you enjoyed my review!

Mine plugs just fine into my GBA SP, but the circular input is too tight to fit my Apple earbuds. I had to bust out another pair of big studio headphones, which of course I'm not gonna use for gaming, and it just BARELY fit.
Even with that, there's always a constant low hum, and you have to be precise with where the volume slider is, because at certain levels it creates a high-pitched squeal for some reason.
Definitely go with something else, though it looks like there aren't many other options out there.
