What this adapter does

This six-inch cable splits a single 3.5 mm four-position combo jack into two separate three-position female ports for headphones and a microphone. It is built for laptop, tablet or smartphone users who need to connect standard analogue headsets to a combined audio socket. The short length keeps the connection tidy at the device.

Build and daily use

The moulded black connectors and six-inch lead are designed for portable use without adding bulk. Two female sockets accept standard 3.5 mm stereo and microphone plugs while the four-position male plug fits the combo port on modern ultrabooks and phones. The fixed cable means there are no loose adapters to misplace in a bag.

The deciding specification

It provides exactly two three-position female 3.5 mm jacks from one four-position male 3.5 mm plug. Buyers whose headset already uses a single four-position TRRS connector will not need this splitter. It also does not convert digital USB or Lightning audio signals to analogue.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5 mm 4-position male plug carry both speaker and microphone signals?

Yes, the 4-position male connector combines stereo output and microphone input, and the adapter splits them into two 3-position female jacks for separate speaker and microphone cables.

What clearance does the 6-inch cable need behind a laptop or phone?

The 6-inch lead requires only a few centimetres of space behind the device; the straight 3.5 mm plug adds minimal depth so it fits alongside other ports.

How do I connect a headset with separate headphone and mic plugs?

Insert the headphone plug into the female jack marked for speakers and the microphone plug into the jack marked for mic, then plug the 4-position male end into the combo audio port.
