Know your gear
Turns a 3.5mm audio output port into two distinct ports - one 3.5mm headphone jack and one 3.5mm microphone port. Have you recently purchased a newer laptop or Ultrabook and now you can't figure out where to plug in your favorite headset?
Most new laptops and Ultrabooks come equipped with a single 3.5mm 4-position (4pin) audio port that supports both audio input and output. A great number of headsets on the market come equipped with two separate headphone and microphone connectors that are not compatible with this new configuration.
The MUYHSMFF headset adapter features two 3.5mm 3-position ports that provide a separate headphone and microphone connection that can be connected to the single audio port on your laptop. Alternatively, you can also connect a separate microphone and powered speakers if you prefer to use Skype or chat online without using a headset.
Simply connect the headphone plug from your headset into the audio output port marked with the headphone symbol, and connect the microphone plug into the audio input port marked with the microphone symbol. Plug the adapter into audio port on your laptop and you're all set.
Want to work or game without using a headset?
You can also connect a microphone and powered speakers to your laptop using the adapter. Just plug in your microphone into the audio input port marked with the microphone symbol, and plug your powered speakers into the audio output port marked with the headphone symbol, and connect the adapter to the audio port on your laptop.
Are you traveling for work or taking a trip?
The headset adapter features a compact and sturdy design that makes it the perfect solution for mobile applications.
Tuck the adapter in with your tablet or slip it inside another carrying case. It works great with tablets and smartphones that have a single audio port. Just connect the headphone and microphone plugs from your headset into the adapter, connect the adapter to your mobile device and start talking.
This adapter is not a headphone splitter or Y-cable. It cannot be used to split the audio output to two separate sets of headphones or speakers.
Some laptops and mobile devices will not work with all external microphones. This is typically caused by an impedance mismatch between the microphone and the device. This is due to hardware incompatibility and is not a limitation of the MUYHSMFF adapter.

Worked great, until it didn't.
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.

Nice simple splitter
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 received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

Not a (1) 4-position to (2) 3-position splitter
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.

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.

Great product - great service!
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.

It sort of works
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.

Doesn't with iPhone and iPad
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.

It works but.....
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.

Does not work with Apple products
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.
