Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Does NOT work for recent Mac Book Pros
Like the others who rate this product as one star, I found it to be totally unusable for the intended purpose. The seller does NOT list it as being compatible with Mac, for good reason, but based on other reviews I took a chance. It was a waste of money. My recent [Oct 2008] MBP did recognize the mic portion but there is a chronic 'clicking' noise about once per second as it cuts in and out that renders the mic feature useless. There is no documentation online or with the product, so it either ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Tested this out on two different headsets...
I am very pleased with the converter. I got this because the port hole in my laptop broke. I have tried this converter on 2 headsets.

On the Logitech Premium Stereo, the Microphone quality was the exact same. Sound however was worse, added fuzz, it was OK but poor.

On the Razer Piranna (high quality gaming), BOTH functions worked PERFECTLY! I'm very happy!

...which leads me to think, that the better the headset, the better results you will have. ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Good Output - Terrible Input
For speakers or headset this produces an acceptable sound. However, the speaker input produces low volume fuzzy and crackly noise. I tried in two PC's running XP and Vista with the same results. Plug the same mike into the rear input jacks and the mike works fine. If you need to use just the speaker output on this it works fine. I bought it to use for Skype, but it is useless for that.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Horrible
As others have mentioned, there really isn't a volume setting for this device--it's either on REALLY LOUD or off. This product produces a hideous, loud buzz when hooked up to a Y cable or my Xenyx 502 mixer. I wasn't expecting much in audio fidelity from this device, but this is simply unusable. DO NOT BUY.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works great for my headphones
I broke the headphone jack on my laptop, and to get it fixed would cost me hundreds because it's part of the motherboard. So i got this and it works fine for my headphones or external speakers. It uses its own sound card which is pretty decent. My internal sound card is pretty basic itself anyway. I don't use the microphone function so i cant comment on that.
