UGREEN Headphone Splitter for Computer 3.5mm Female to 2 Dual 3.5mm Male Braided Audio Splitter Cable Microphone Stereo Jack Earphones Port Cord Gaming Headset to PC Laptop Adapter Black

I Just recently purchased the Black Shark V2 Limited Edition headset from RAZER. Once the item arrived, after being held at customs for nearly week for a mistake made by RAZER… I went to plug the new headphones into Sound Blaster Headphone hub, which came with my soundcard… And to my Disappointment, the headphones were grossly distorted and would not work properly. After a little re-search I found that the male 3.5 jack for the headphones was a 4 pole and would not work with a regular female 3.5 headphone jack. I contacted RAZER support on numerous occasions regarding this issue, because no mention of the compatibility issue, or the fact that the headphone jack was 4 pole, was mentioned on their website for the Black Shark V2 Limited Edition, in specs or else ware. I also asked RAZER tech support if they made a splitter for their Black Shark V2 Limited Edition, to which they replied “NO”. I then asked the RAZER technician if I could use a third-party splitter, and if it would work…To which RAZER replied, im sorry but we can not confirm if a 3rd party splitter will work with the headphones (note, that other headphone manufacturers, such as Steel-Series offer them, or include them with their head phones) After, getting off the merry go round with RAZER tech support (which was about useful as used toilet paper) and left with no other option, other than to return them… I decided to purchase the splitter as a last resort, before I shipped the headset back to RAZER. I did use RAZER’s USB adapter, and found it severely lacked the amplification and equalization that my SoundBlaster sound card and my ZEN DAC provides… Luckily, the splitter worked flawlessly and with 0 distortion… and I was able to use the headphones and mic with no issues on STEAM and Discord with no issues whatsoever. For the audiophiles who are worried if the splitter will degrade the sound when using with an external DAC, such as a IFI Zen DAC, rest assured this splitter is going to be your best friend when you plug in your 4-pole gaming headset… The UGREEN spliiter is good quality, built well and had no audio degradation from what I could hear… For the price, you would be hard pressed to find a better splitter! I would highly recommend this product, as well as the RAZER Black Shark V2’s. The audio reproduction with a DAC AMP is Amazing… RAZER tech support receives no recommendation…

At first, it was really spotty and needed to be rotated and have continuous tension to hold it in the one exact sweet spot for it to connect everything right or the mic wouldn’t work and half the audio would cut out. I was really frustrated until I realized I was the one being stupid - I didn’t realize I hadn’t seated it in all the way. It took more force than expected to fully jam the headphone end in there but after that initial struggle it connects and disconnects easier now. And now I can rotate it in the socket and the connection is solid and stable, not even a crackle. So if it’s acting touchy with only one spot that seems to connect right, maybe double check it’s fully seated in the socket and use a tad more strength than expected. Now that I figured out my issue, it works fantastic!! Great sound and mic transference, nice and clear with no crackles even when it’s moved around or rotated in the socket. And it fits nice and snug in the connecting socket so it won’t easily slip out when jostled or lightly tugged. Love it!

works like it should

I mean, it does its job as a splitter but it only worked on the plugs on the case and not the motherboard (where I usually plug audio things.) It wasn't a struggle to force it into the plug like some other splitters are, it doesn't reduce audio quality either, it's sleek, doesn't feel cheap at all. Like I said, it does it's job.

works for my SteelSeries Arctis 1 Headset pc I can use my microphone now and hear audio in my headphones. I just need a longer cable to extend it more

Such a simple solution, but it accomplished everything it sets out to do. I recently switched from console gaming to PC gaming, and I did not have a good pair of headphones for my computer. I had a decent pair of headphones I used prior for my Xbox, but it only had one auxiliary line, and with my computer that meant I had to choose to use the mic or the headphones, but not both. That was until I bought this headphone splitter, allowing me to easily plug it into my computer and headphones, and I was immediately good to go. So much more cost effective than buying a new pair of headphones. I also previously tried using my Bluetooth earbuds with my computer prior to this, and while it worked, the mic and audio was dramatically better using this adapter and my old headphones. The splitter is clearly labeled for easy use, and it is a good length to allow me to sit comfortable in my chair with just enough slack to move my head around without it pulling tight. It also isn't long enough to where it would dangle on the floor or create any type of hazard, which is a plus. The connection is strong, and does not pull out lightly. Overall, would recommend.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Clearly labeled plugs, and everything is built very sturdy, and looks quite nice with the braided cables. Extremely easy to use, and connection has never been an issue between multiple computers and cases. Overall, want something good and inexpensive? Get this.

Returned the item, did not work for my needs. I do not believe the issue was this item, but rather more related to my other hardware device setup.
