Cool, cheap, and good
By Hepamorphonic
This is the only place in the *world* I could find this type of adapter. Radio Shack apparently used to have one (Multimedia Headset Y-Cable, 42-2428) but discontinued it. I tested this item with a mono cell headset (3 conductors on the 2.5mm plug) and a stereo cell headset (4 conductors on the 2.5mm plug). It worked with both, but with the stereo headset, sound only comes through the right headphone channel. Sound records identically on both channels through the microphone however. Using this adapter I could use my cell phone headset to both listen to music and place Skype calls on my PC. The sound quality of both was fine. This is a very utile item to save having to buy a discerned headset for VoIP calls.

Simple solution for VOIP on the road
By Walter L. Smith
I use this little adapter with my laptop and my Blackberry headset in order to use VOIP (my company’s OCS, Skype, VonageTalk, etc.). It lets me make hotspot calls more discreetly since I don’t have to pull on a jumbo headset. I may listen others without doubt or question and no one has complained when it comes to my voice quality. It surely beats toting around multiple headsets.

Cell Headset to PC Converter
By Cedryk
I purchased this unit to adjust my Plantronics mono headset with mic’s 2.5mm single plug to 3.5mm mic and 3.5mm headset jacks for PC sound card input or (in my case) an existent USB Digital Headset adapter.
This unit is intended for a stereo headset (2 headphones rather of the 1 on my Plantronics mono headset).
Using the mono headset with this unit causes feedback as one headset channel is fed back to one mic input.
TO USE THIS UNIT WITH MONO HEADSET:
Set the speaker type for the audio output (that this unit will plug into) to LAPTOP MONO SPEAKER. That solves any troubles with interfacing your MONO headset to your sound system with this converter plug.
RECOMMENDATION:
Buying this unit allows you to use higher quality headsets with your sound card/USB sound device. It is worth it.
I purchased 2.
