StarTech Headphone splitter

As others have mentioned, this does not work with Apple products. I've tried it on iPhone 6s and higher, as well as the most recent iPad and iPad mini tablets. Apple uses a different protocol and they don't mention that on here or even on their tech support when you talk with them. They say Apple devices should work "under normal circumstances". They do not. Save yourself the time.

I bought this adapter to shoot video. I wanted to use an external mic and headphones. The mic works but the headphones do not. Am I missing something? Hooking up the mic is the most important part so there is that but I sure would love it if the headphones worked.

I was having problems with this connecting a microphone. I cut the microphone side cable and only discovered two wires and no shield. Seems to me this is a (1) 4-position to a 2-position and maybe (I haven't cut that side open) a 3-position splitter.

The fact that I was able to obtain the exact splitter I was searching for easily on Amazon from StarTech was GREAT ! Unfortunately, I've had 2 exact items fail in different ways in less than a year.

Bought this splitter so I could use an external microphone to record videos on my Galaxy S5. Initially the phone didn't see the mic but after a visit to chat.startech.com and a bit of reconnecting a few times, it saw it and works fine. Appears well built.

Why not just say right on websites DOES NOT WORK WITH APPLE PRODUCTS. Rather misleading when you say it works with smartphones rather than informing buyers only works with some smartphones and not iPhones and iPads.

I got this just before my trip to a conference in California and I didn't want to use a Bluetooth anymore. I tried it with my Samsung and it works very well. I only had 1 problem only where I could hear some cracking noises but the problem has gone away. I tested it as well with my kids Ipads and there was no problem. This is a good product for a good price. “I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.”

I have been using this product for a few weeks. It allows me to connect separate headphones and microphone to my laptop with a single jack for both. I have also tested it on my iPhone and works well for the same purpose. The product comes in a nice little bag and is very small and discrete. The cable is well made, both sturdy and flexible. The connectors fit well and hold cables nicely. The only issue I have is the images one the ends indicating microphone port and headphone port are hard to read. Not a big issue as once you figure it out you are likely to leave everything connected. So far I am happy with this product and will use it regularly.

I bought this for my Logitech G230 headset so I could use it on my Asus Zenbook which only has one audio jack. But it crackles and sometimes stops working or the microphone stops working but the audio is doing fine.

This adapter works as it should but sometimes there can be a harsh crackling sound, I assure it isn't my headset as I have tested it on another computer with a split mic and headphone input.

Had it for about a month. I bumped the male part and it won't play sound in my left ear AND i can't use my microphone.

This is a very useful product for using a cell phone to output calls to capture for broadcast on KNSJ. We have purchased several of them and will be buying more in the future.

We purchased 35 of these adapters for our computer lab. Our recently purchased all-in-one computers have combined 4-position sockets for headphone/microphone, but our headsets come with two separate 3-position jacks for headphones/Mic. So we needed these adapters to split the combined input jack. PROS: High-quality build and material; great quality throughput both for Mic and headphones; timely delivery thanks to express delivery option. CONS: Price; we could purchase them at retail store at $7.99; but they could not provide the quantity we wanted in time. So we had to buy directly from Startech at a higher price.
