Tried using with an I phone...no bueno
on February 18, 2017
Posted by: clongkong39
Headphone side works fine....the mic side doesn't work at all, IPhone doesn't even recognize an external mic is plugged in so forces it to use the phone's built in mic. Waste of money, but that's what you get when you buy cheap.
Response from startech.comBy Barry, Customer Support, February 21, 2017
Hi,
Thanks for sharing this with us. Hopefully, we can help.
Using a product like this with an iPhone, unfortunately, can lead to undesirable results.
This adapter conforms to the CTIA standard. Apple does use this specification. However, they also implement a non-standard signally method which means that when pairing this device with an iPhone the microphone will not work because the iPhone cannot see it.
Using this with other devices that fully conform to the CTIA standard should not be an issue. Most Android and Microsoft phones comply with the CTIA standard.
If you have any further questions, our technical advisors are available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week at http://www.startech.com/support.
Thanks.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I’m so happy with the adapter I got from startech! I don’t know what we would have done if we hadn’t found startech and all their amazing and affordably priced stuff! I just wish I could thank the person that told me about startech. I ordered frm a certain big name cmpny, & it didn’t cme with the adapter & without it the headphns wouldn’t work! I also got the adapter super fast, so I will definitely b using startech 4 any and all future purchases!

As adverised
on June 2, 2017
Posted by: dwardo123
I bought a new laptop that only had the one audio/mic output and I had an older headset that had two separate connections. One for the mic and one for the headset. This splitter saved me from buying a whole new headset by separating the mic and the speaker into two separate connections. The sound was good and the users on the other end did not have any issues with the sound quality of the mic. Unit is small and compact and easily transportable wherever I go.

Great Little Adapter
on June 19, 2017
Posted by: ABThompsons
Great little adapter if you have an older style headset that has a separate audio and mic cable. Worked great on my Windows laptop and my Android phone. Not much else to say about this other than it works as advertised.

Mac incompatibility? Look no further!!!

So I stumbled across a forum that said if you physically mute the mic (place your finger over it), it will recognize the external mic!! Worked for me!! Adaptor is now working for me :) Hope this helped!!!
