SennheiserConsumer Audio Professional Audio PCV 05 Combo Audio Adapter

works

Spared me from the horrid gaming headset scheme. I have an Xbox One and PS4. I wanted to use my superb Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones for gaming. It works simply enough for only audio, but finding a mic solution was tricky, until I found this and the Antlion Modmic. I started out using the star tech splitter, but that came out of the box with a finicky connection, and static. I thought this was normal, until I tried my brothers splitter. I contacted star tech and they sent me a replacement, which promptly did the same thing. I then decided to buy this piece of kit, and it worked like a charm, and still does 3 months later. I originally used a cheap lapel mic, to test the setup and it worked perfectly, but was inconvenient. I was constantly pulling the controller off my desk because I forgot to unclip the mic from my shirt. I tried my brothers ModMic, and it was amazing. It has an inline mute, and has fantastic audio quality (not that you can tell on console). It is easy to take on and off of my headphones, and without it, the mount is barely noticeable. I have the best of both worlds, high quality audio, and a high quality mic. I can't recommend the ATH-M50x headphones enough, or save a little money and forgo the detachable cable with the regular M50's. They are fantastic for music, movies, gaming, and everything else involving audio. Do not buy gaming headsets, the majority are overpriced garbage, with a few exceptions. Overall, this product does exactly what it says, and saves me from terrible audio.

Perfect for when I use my laptop, wish it came with my headset….

This adapter works great for making my Sennheiser Game Zero headset work 100% with my PS5 Slim. I've had these headphones for years, and have used them a lot for PC games. After buying a PS5, they worked fine when plugged into the controller, but the console wouldn't detect the headphone mic. Eventually, I figured out that I needed an adapter. Now both the headphone speakers and mic work fully. I played with a few friends today, they reported hearing me loud and clear. As for the downsides of this product, the cable is a bit thin, I feel like it might break within a few months, so I'll have to be gentle and see how long it lasts. Also, enable 3D Audio and Dolby Atmos in the PS5 console settings, it makes a world of difference when it comes to audio quality with headphones. I'm now hearing finer details that I didn't notice before. Due to the thin cable, 4 stars instead of 5.

I was looking for a way to use a wired PC stereo headset with a cell phone, my Samsung Galaxy S4. Facts are hard to find in the area of compatibility.For instance, the cell phone must have a headphone jack (obviously). But that jack must also support the same pinout as this adapter, which combines the headphone and mic plugs into one plug. There's next to zero info on whether a certain model phone supports this. So I looked to see if my phone supported a headset at all, and if that headset had a mic. If so, then this had a high chance of working. In my case it worked, but other phone models may not. Since the latest generations of phones are always changing ports and specs on them, there's no guarantees. It's much nicer to wear a headset than hold a phone to your ear, especially when on long conversations. My headset of choice when using this is theSennheiser PC131 Sennheiser PC 131 Binaural Headset with Volume Control and Microphone Mute as it's lightweight, has a mic, and is from a company that makes quality headphones. Of course you can try your own headset with this adapter as well.

Bought to use for my laptop and this is the go to option, it works perfectly unlike the competitors options that I have bought in the past. No weird noises it just works!

So, I don't know if there's an unwritten rule somewhere that says that if enough manufacturers make devices to backward-adapt newer "innovations," it should say something about the utility of that innovation.Anyway, if there's one thing I truly cannot stand, it's the 3.5mm TRRS "combo" jack. You know, the one that handles both audio-out to a set of headphones as well as the mic-in from the microphone? Usually seen on gaming headsets and the like.Well, I'm glad that I have this little giggy now, because one of my computers that I use for DJing has that combo jack that I hate and this takes it and turns it into two CLEARLY-MARKED 3.5mm jacks...one for headphones, the other for microphone.It does the trick and makes my life a ton easier. LOL

It works, there isn't much else to say
