Does this pass through the microphone line? ex. I want to plug in a smartphone headset and switch between talking on the phone and listening to PC...

I don't know, I'm only using it to switch between audio lines--I'm not sure its equipped to handle a microphone portion of a smartphone headset. Never tried that, sorry.

I do not believe it will work with a microphone. Haven't tried it myself but im guessing the call would be originating from the PC because you'd need two auxiliary jacks on your phone to connect one of the cords and the headset. Don't know a phone that is like that.

It does not. I tried using it for that purpose but apparently any inputs that come from the output line (such as a mic or volume control on the headphones) does not get fed back to the input.

It has an audio in...which I would guess it is at line input level, not intended for a microphone. That is what it seems to be to me.

Where does your audio come from? You can put it near a speaker to record that. When I want to record something on speakerphone, I take it out of my ear and lay it on the telephone speaker. It records that well and also records my voice if I speak out loud into the speakerphone. If the online training is on your PC, couldn't you record the audio directly?

If your computer has a combo jack, you need a headphone/microphone splitter to use it. It didn't work with the first splitter I tried, but I think the splitter must have been defective since J.D. Garner answered that he has successfully used it with a PC. I just ordered a different splitter.

No. This is basically to take a nokia style headset connector (2.5) and adapt it to PC (3.5) connector. Audio only.

If the audio jack works with the headsets with inline mics then my best guess is yes, I remember reading somewhere that some audio jacks have the power switched around on some of the internal lines on these things, I've never had an issue yet. I use it with my iphone 5 and my nvidia shield (android). Hope this helps :-)

Are the headsets compatible with phone you're using? If you're getting any kind of audio, they should be. Also, is there a mute function on the connecting cable or headset? I recall having the same problem but this fixed it.

I use the heahphone mic for Teamspeak. Ive asked, and my friends notice the difference between my desk mic... But they say I'm still audible in game.

This did NOT allow microphone thru. I found another that did allow, but voice so soft, I still could not use it either. Good luck!

If you find a set of female to mini phone plug, then you could plug into the mic jack on the control pod. There will probably be some sort of impedance mismatch (hum), this might be a problem. Not having a need to try this, I can not tell you what feedback effect or volume controllability you may have. I did try something like this many years ago. Good luck with this!

If you do't wan't the microphone yes you can simply not have it hooked up. However the microphone is really only working in tandem with your headset mic or desktop mic to cancel out background noise. Hope that helps

I havent found using just the ear piece v comfortable but it does seem secure (I can move around and not feel like it will fall off).The connector for this headset is a 2.5mm male pin. To use with an Android phone (or at least my Android phone), you need a 2.5mm female to 3.5mm male adaptor. I dont think it will work on a PC because the mic input and speaker outputs are separate, but there's probably some kind of Y adaptor to make that work.

This is for the opposite purpose-using an older-style headset, one with separate cords for the mic and headphones, with a newer device like a smartphone.I'm guessing you have a PC with an actual sound card, and separate mic and speaker plugs (usually red and green, respectively, I think). In that case you would need the exact opposite counterpart to this product: StarTech MUYHSFMM 3.5mm 4 Pin to 2x3 Pin 3.5mm Headset Splitter Adapter - F/M

I bought an adapter like:Consumer Electronic Products Smartphone Headset to PC Adapter - Use a 3.5mm iPhone/Smartphone Headset With Your PC, Converts 3.5mm Plug to Dual Mic/Audio 3.5mm, for Skype/VOIP (01-PH35-PC35) Supply Storeand it works perfectly.

NO! This device is designed to connect your Plantronics headset to a 3.5mm headset connection on a PC or mobile device. If you are not familiar with Plantronics headsets they come with a proprietary connector (See the rectangular end.) to a device such as this. These connectors will allow them to be connected to different types of ports such as RJ14, RJ12, 3.5mm etc. As far as I know this device is proprietary to Plantronics.

You've got to have a microphone someplace but the device definitely forwards the caller's voice to another device. I'm using an iPhone 4S and your experience may differ with a different phone.

My inline jack is broken, so I can't actually test this for you, but I think that the answer has more to do with your operating system than the headphones. To the best of my knowledge, the standard setting for most systems makes you push the audio to one device or another, but if you find a forum specific to support for your OS and post your question there, someone might be able to help you figure out the right work around.
