UGREEN USB to Audio Jack USB External Sound Card 3.5mm Audio Adapter 2 in 1 USB A to Aux TRRS Headphone Adapter Microphone Stereo Jack Aluminum Compatible with PS5 PC Windows Mac Linux Laptop Desktop

I hate wearing bulky headsets and spent a lot of time trying to find a way to connect Apple Earpods to my desktop PC since desktops only have split headphone and microphone jacks. Almost all the standard adapters out there do not work with Apple headsets because Apple uses a modified CTIA standard. This adapter said it will work with any standard and it seems true. Both sound and microphone work, however this adapter uses a generic audio driver so there is no Microphone Boost option in Windows. The microphone volume seems quieter when I tested a recording, but when doing voice calls people have said my microphone sounds just fine. Also know any inline volume controls do not work on headsets. I am just glad I can finally use a lightweight headset on my desktop PC which works good enough for gaming chats.Also I should mention the build quality of the device, it is made of metal and seems solid. Some similar devices I've seen use a generic design and just put their brand logo on it, but this product seems unique and from a brand I have actually heard of. I would have preferred a cable adapter, but as a workaround I have a 12" USB extension cable that I plug the adapter into.

Been using this adapter for over two years now and it still works. Good product for those who are still stuck with 3.5mm based headphone and microphone.

I bought this so I could record two headsets on separate audio tracks, and apart from a little fuzz here and there, it sounds great!Using it as a headphone jack there's no fuzz so unsure why it only happens with microphones. So I recommend this more if you're wanting to listen rather than record. Tho also I couldn't find anything high-end that let you record 3.5 microphone headsets so this might be around the best you can do without just buying high-end microphones.

A quick tip when using this for the first time:Make sure you either have your headset or headphones plugged into the device before plugging it into your system.When I initially tested this, I just plugged it in to the USB port. It was not recognized on 3 different systems so I thought it was defective. It turns out you need your headphones/set plugged in to get it to recognize and power up.

I bought this 2 years ago for my headset since my audio ports on my pc stopped working and it just now has started being kinda janky requiring me to like mess with it or nudge it to feed audio.

I bought this to use with my Manjaro linux desktop machine. At first I thought it didn't work, because I plugged it into the USB port and nothing showed up. I immediately started searching the web for setup / configuration info and couldn't find out how to make it work.Turns out there is a quirk of this hardware - Even if it's plugged into the USB port, it won't show up (under linux at least) until you plug in the headphones or speakers into the dongle. As soon as you plug them in, it pops right up. Works for both audio out and mic in.

I tried plugging this product into both of my computers and not only does it not work, but both my computers will just act like it doesn't even exist even if I go into my sound settings and look for the "RealTek USB 2.0 Audio" (which just isn't there to begin with). If you want to save yourself a headache, I definitely would not recommend buying this product.

If your computer lacks a connector for headphones with microphone (TRRS) this adapter converts a USB-A (rectangular type) port into a headset receptacle.So far, it has allowed me to use my headset at work, in a tightly locked pc. No driver install was necessary for ny unit to work.
