UGREEN 3.5 mm Male to 2 Female Audio Splitter Cable, Black (30620)

Overview

A PC gaming headset with two plugs, or headphones plus a separate microphone, can work on a laptop, phone, tablet or console that has only one combined headset socket. The UGREEN 30620 is a short 3.5 mm splitter cable: its four-pole (TRRS) plug goes into the combined socket and two labelled sockets take the headphone and microphone plugs. It is passive and wired to the CTIA standard on the host plug.

Is it right for you?

• Suits laptops, phones, tablets and consoles with a single combined 3.5 mm headset jack.
• Suits a dual-plug PC headset or stereo headphones plus a 3.5 mm microphone.
• The host must use the CTIA standard, which most current laptops, phones and consoles do; older OMTP devices may give no microphone or muffled sound.
• It is not a splitter for two pairs of headphones.

• 3.5 mm four-pole TRRS male plug with CTIA wiring.
• Two female 3.5 mm sockets, one for headphone audio and one for the microphone.

What else you need

Before you buy

• Check that the host device uses CTIA wiring; OMTP devices may give no microphone or muffled sound.
