  • Easy! Can finally use the headset/voicechat on pc!
Plugged in and instantly got my sons a10 headset to work on his computer. Wish i knew this is what we needed sooner. It can also work with other headsets too that dont have something to do with them only having 2 rings or 3 rings on the ens. That being the reason the headset wont work in the pc. So if your headset is not working and your pc doesnt accept the jack. This will probably work for whatever jack your headset is, and has 2 slots so if you have the seperate mic and audio jacks you and plug them both in. Very portable. Have not noticed any lag or anything but we dont know what it would be like without this. The sound quality on recordings is fine and seems the same as it would be without having to use this. The setup is so easy you just fit it in a usb slot. maybe approve a new usb popup on your pc, plug in your headset, and it works. Fits well, sounds good, and we can finally use the headset,voicechat,recording games with voice on our pc now. ... show more

  • Impressive for the price
This Plugable 1/8 audio plug to USB adapter works very well for the price. It is easy to use and operates immediately. I found little to no extraneous noise or interference. It is a little wider than a normal USB plug, but that is rarely a problem since I do not need plug in two Usb item on the same side. We have used this adapter as a simple way to connect our Behringer mixer to a computer for recording. It worked with or without connecting headphone. If you try to use headphones to monitor through the computer there will be latency. All USB connectors have some latency. That is why there is a headphone connector on this adapter. If you are looking for the absolute best audio adapter to connect to your computer you should use an audio interface (about $90 - $300 for a decent device). We have also used the adapter to connect a mic directly into the computer without a mixer. When using mics, please take note of any phantom power requirements. I have tried several other adapters. This one seems to be the most consistent and has the lowest noise. Remember, if you are using Audacity, you will need to plug it in, and then start the app. Audacity will not likely identify new USB mics with the app is running. Quit and restart the app. Responding to some reviews: You should read the description. It is designed for TRS, not TRRS plugs. If you have a lavaliere with a TRRS plug, like I do, you will need to use a TRRS to TRS adapter. It is a simple thing and most lavalieres come with the adapter. TRS has two lines in the plug and TRRS has three. Make sure you have the plugs firmly connected. This is sound equipment which means that the noise will occur if you do not connect the devices properly. You can connect headphones in the plug to get immediate, no latency, monitoring. No device has zero latency if you listen through the computer while recording. Check the quality of your mic. Some mics will have cord and connector issues. Check your computer's USB ports. I may be that they are not equally set up. It may also be that they are not exactly the same USB. Check the color of the port. Also, some computers will have slightly different signal strength from one or the other USB ports. Best practice would be to use an audio interface, but many of us try to save money. This item is ay good, low cost alternative for the analog to USB conversion until you move up to an interface. ... show more

  • Works great on Ubuntu, no driver install necessary.
The "Plugable USB Audio Adapter with 3.5mm Speaker-Headphone and Microphone Jack" is a great little device. I use it on a laptop running the Ubuntu operating system, and it was literally plug and play, no driver install necessary. The sound from my earbuds is clearer and has greater volume capability, than the jacks on the laptop had when they were working. ... show more

  • Needs better documentation
This adapter needs instructions as to which port is to be used for what. The port with the headphones symbol is also supposed to be used for speakers - nowhere in the info sheet included is that mentioned. Since I was using an old pair of Bose speakers, it had me running around to check the speakers on another system. Finally, I went to the Plugable website and used their chat support feature and found out that speakers and headphones are considered the same on this product. Also, the USB plug is not quite up to normal standards and seems loose to me. Once I got the jack figured out, and the plug into a USB port on the back of my computer, it seems to work fine. ... show more

  • Works well
Kinda surprised me that this inexpensive device was a plug and play for my new Dell that has no sound port. Sound is fine.

  • Great!
WOW! New computer did not have an outlet to connect my sound system. This works just like the sound card I thought I would have to buy and install. Absolutely works great!

  • Good Product
I was having issues connecting my (at the time) headset with mic. The USB for the headset would not work properly with my computer. I had used one similar to this years ago, so got another. Worked great until the headset died - then I went bluetooth. Good product, price and delivery.

  • 5 stars for stereo audio output, 1 star for microphone coordination..
Edited September 21, 2015 This is an impressive little piece of hardware that is plug-and-play on my Windows 7 netbook. The stereo audio output is clear, perfect audio with crisp stereo separation. It is excellent for that. When I was checking out this new device, I found that my netbook sound card actually has a little channel crosstalk on the output jack. I had not noticed it before. Now I use this new device for 3.5mm audio output. I really bought it for stereo mic input which it was described as having. It actually provides only digital mono mic through the software. I bought it for the stereo mic capability, which it does not have, but I am keeping it for the excellent stereo speaker/headphone performance. Jim P.S. It is a little on the wide side and may block adjacent USB port(s). Jim Update February 26, 2014 I finally figured out the mic input jack. The jack itself is stereo but the USB output from the chip is mono. Jim ... show more
