All I had to do was connect the male end of the headset to the female end of this adapter, then plug the two male ends of the adapter into the microphone and speaker jacks on the back of the PC. I didn't have to buy a new gaming headset because of this. This adapter also appears to be of excellent quality. This product has exceeded my expectations!.

This was purchased in order for me to use my Apple headset with a Zoom H6 audio recorder. It also works if you keep a few things in mind. I noticed that some of the reviews claimed it didn't work with certain headsets, but I'm curious if those people are aware that condenser microphones require power, which can come from a built-in battery, phantom power, or plug-in power from the connected device. br>br>In the case of the Apple headset, power is typically provided by an iDevice via plug-in power. The Zoom H6 can provide plug-and-play functionality in my case. in power. Any cable or adapter would have to meet this requirement. In any case, it's effective - I can hear the Zoom's sound through the headset, as well as my own voice through the headset mic. br>br>It's worth noting that, because the headphone jack is near the bottom of the left side and the mic input is near the upper right, on the X/Y capsule, this cable is a little shorter than ideal for the Zoom H6. It does reach, but the cable must be routed either under or over the recorder. I've included a photo to demonstrate what I'm talking about. That isn't necessarily a criticism of this adapter unless one intends to use it for the same purpose, in which case it is functional. br>br>As for audio quality, it's quite good when the headset is the only thing connected to the H6. Much better than one might expect after hearing the same iPhone headset being used for a phone call. It performs as well as some dedicated lav/lapel mics I own, with no audible hum (though Apple's mic does have some self-noise). Noise levels are comparable to those found in some sub-$100 lavaliere microphones. I believe that a similar setup could be used for a variety of applications, with 99 percent of listeners thinking it sounded fantastic. Having said that, there is some cross-pollination. Between the headset and the microphone, there is a lot of chatter and bleed. On the Zoom H6, if I turn up both the mic gain and the headphone volume to their highest settings, I get feedback. When I do that, I keep in mind that there is a lot of gain going on. I can clearly hear my own breath, indicating that the levels are far above "normal. " br>br>According to other reviewers, this adapter causes bleed-through. I'm not sure it's fair to blame the adapter because I've used this same headset with the Rode Rec app on my iPhone (and thus no adapters) and it's possible to get feedback with that setup as well. As a result, I'd say that the vast majority, if not all, of the cross-sectional studies are inconclusive. bleed/talk – With this headset, all of the thinking and feedback takes place within the headset. With other headsets, I anticipate different outcomes. Then there's the shielding issue, which has been brought up by a few people. I hear a hum if I connect my digital piano to the H6 at the same time as the headset. Although there isn't much hum, it is present. The hum becomes much louder when I touch the TRRS jack on the adapter cable. I'm not sure what's going on, but I can only assume that the piano connection exposes the recorder to the AC lines in some way, even though there is no hum when the adapter/headset combination is disconnected. When I connect the piano and my iPhone simultaneously, for example, there is no hum. as well as other forms of self-expression The H6 does not hum when powered microphones are plugged in directly. br>br>I have a working theory that it has something to do with the CTIA standard, which, contrary to good engineering practice, places the mic line on the connector shell, which, by all logic, should be where the shield should be. The only way to effectively shield a CTIA connector is to wrap a secondary shield around the entire connector body, which I haven't seen done yet. Interestingly, the competing OMTP standard grinds the shell, but Apple has a history of defying industry standards, so it's not surprising that they didn't adopt OMTP. One can only speculate as to why others followed in their footsteps. br>br>If I'm correct, then all CTIA-certified devices will be affected. Based microphones are prone to hum, which is not due to this adapter's fault. One could argue that MillSO could have devised a method of providing shielding, but it's easy to imagine them sticking to the standard, even if it has a fatal flaw. Since then, Apple has abandoned their own standard in favor of Lightning, yet another proprietary standard, and they appear to be moving toward USB-C now that the world has purchased billions of dollars worth of Lightning adapters. If it weren't for Apple's investment in Lightning, this would be the first time the company has ever adopted an existing industry standard. None of this is relevant to any serious audio production work, but it will certainly muddy the waters for headphone and headset manufacturers. And I haven't answered all of your questions about the adapter's quality. I can only say that I intend to build my own at this time. We have a cable shop here, so I'm curious if we can do a better job of utilizing off-the-shelf components. the- I looked for shielded TRRS jacks on the shelf, but I couldn't find any. To be clear, I plan to use this adapter for a while to see if the hum is a problem in a real-world situation. This is a world record. I believe it will suffice, and I'm not sure if any other adapter would be superior. Most Amazon sellers are unwilling to commit to the CTIA standard, let alone reveal technical details like shielding, so while this adapter may be imperfect, it may be the best one can get for the money.

Because the product we received was unusable, I gave it a one-star rating. I was about to cut my losses when the company sent us a replacement at no additional cost. It works! just right I am very pleased with the product and with the company's prompt response in replacing a defective unit.

This is exactly what I was looking for, and it works perfectly. There was no headphone crackling or distortion, which I had recently experienced with a similar product from another seller, not to mention the fact that one arrived with a broken headphone jack. It was promptly returned, as one might expect. br>br>In every way, this is a high-quality splitter, and it works as it should! Because my PC and display are separated by quite a distance, the braided cord for durability and extra length (I purchased the 3' model) is especially useful. I also got a follow-up email. br>br> "Jo" at MillSO sent me a follow-up email to make sure I was happy with the splitter. That's great customer service, which is hard to come by these days. br>br>Strongly suggested. br>br> My score is a good one. 5 stars are well deserved. If I could, I'd give it a 6! br>br>* Please note: I do not receive any monetary compensation for writing concise reviews with honest opinions in order to assist you as a potential buyer.

My son is playing that god-awful game on his computer using a standard cellphone headset connected to this adapter. In a way, I wish this adapter would break so he wouldn't have to play Fortnite all the time!br>I'm kidding! However, this method works for both earphones and microphones on a computer; you simply need to go into Windows and adjust your sound and microphone settings. It's possible that you'll need to slightly boost the mic settings (on his machine, I believe I have it set at 10db boost).
