Headphone Accessories - laptop accessories, headset


I had hoped this would work for headsets with a 3.5mm plug (like the iPod headset). Because the description is so vague, and because I couldn't find a better-described product that did fit my need, I took a flyer on this. Now that I have it in hand, I know that the black part shown in the picture is sized to fit smaller 2.5mm plugs.



I will probably modify mine with parts from Radio Shack or similar. Vendor should update description. Still I can't rate less than 3 stars; it probably works well as intended - once you know its intended use! Ge 26694 Voip Phone-To-Pc Adapter for Headset

The construction quality on this is very good, and it will work very well for what it is designed to do. However, it is *NOT* designed to take a *STEREO* output from the computer, so forget about using this with any stereo headset. The female end only has three connections, one for ground, one for mic and one for mono sound.

The product would be great if it were the right size for today's headphones. The description is very vague.



This product has a 2.5mm female socket. It was a size used in old mobile phones and Blackberry smart phones. Modern smart phones like iPhones and Android models use a 3.5mm jack that will not work with this adapter.

I bought this product to use with my stereo iPhone headset, but it does not work for two reasons: It is a 2.5mm connector, not a 3.5 mm connector, and it is not stereo. These two specs should have been clearly spelled out on the product description. I am very disappointed.

I use a headset for talking on the land-line phone that plugs into any portable phone (2.8GHz, 5.6GHz, 6.0GHz DECT). It makes my voice so much clearer to others, and it lets me take notes while I'm on the phone. This device has the dual purpose of letting me use the same headset for VOIP computer-based calls (Google Voice, etc.). - Laptop Accessories - Headset - Computer Headset Adapter - Skype'
