Headphone mic help? by DaFrozenBlaze July 31, 2016 at 6:07 AM UTC

My headphones has a mic, but my laptop has no mic port, or whatever you call it. So I can't connect the mic to my laptop. So is there no other way I can use the mic on my headphones?

So you want to connect two 3.5mm inputs into one 3.5mm output?

Buy one of these.

The type of computer shouldn't matter.

As long as the inputs and outputs are both 3.5mm, all you need is an 
Audio mic splitter jack Y cable male to duel female adaptor.
( The thing I linked in my next reply :P )

Actually I fucked up.

That's an audio splitter, not a mic splitter.
If you used an audio splitter only the headphones would work because it only supports audio inputs and not microphone inputs.

You want an Audio mic splitter Y cable male to duel female adaptor.

I found this thing, which is what hopefully you're looking for.
There will be better ones out there but this should do, even though it's designed for an iPhone,
it should work on a laptop because they're all 3.5mm inputs/outputs.
It's quite hard to find male to duel female mic splitter Y cables...


lol sorry xD
