Headset/mic breakouts are used for microphone and headphones combinations where one device uses a single TRRS connection and the other uses separate TRS connections for microphone and headphones. With increases in remote work, streaming, and online gaming, headsets with built-in microphones are becoming more common, as is the need for those headsets to connect to older devices equipped with separate headphones and microphone connections.
Some equipment, such as laptops, use separate mic and headphone jacks rather than a single TRRS connection for both. The Hosa YMM-107 enables you to connect a headset with built-in microphone to one of these laptops. Conversely, you may use headphones with a standalone microphone that must now both be connected to a gaming console with a single TRRS input. In this case, the solution would be the Hosa YMM-108. If using a balanced microphone, you would also need the Hosa XVM-100F series microphone cable.
TRRS is short for tip/ring/ring/sleeve. A TRRS connector allows for two-way communication in devices that are set up to receive both microphone and headphones in a single connection. TRRS cables carry three independent signals, ideal for use with headsets and earbuds with built-in microphones.
TRS is short for tip/ring/sleeve. A TRS connector is typically used on balanced or stereo cables. For stereo applications, this means it carries independent left and right outputs in a single cable. Balanced cables duplicate the signal along two conductors. For more information on balanced audio, check out our post, Balanced vs. Unbalanced Audio Cables.

Split your combined audio jack into 2 separate jacks!
The latest computer models from leading manufacturers are following suit with the iPhone and Skype trends by combining the traditionally separate headphone and microphone jacks into a single jack. The reasoning behind this is due to the influx of VOIP (Voice Over IP) companies, like Vonage and Skype, who have developed headsets that use a single jack instead of 2 jacks so that you can use a special headset to listen and speak. This adapter allows the use of an external microphone and headset or speakers with PCs and Laptops.

Turns a 3.5mm combo headphone/microphone port into two distinct ports – one 3.5mm headphone jack and one 3.5mm microphone port
The MUYHSMFF Headphone/Microphone Combo Jack splitter (4-position 3.5mm to dual 3-position 3.5mm) is a headset Splitter Adapter featuring one 3.5mm Male (TRRS) and two 3.5mm (TRS) Female connectors, enabling you to add a mono microphone input, as well as a stereo output to your PC or Laptop, through a single 3.5mm audio port. It can turn the combo port into two distinct ports – one 3.5mm headphone jack and one 3.5mm microphone port.
Innovative Audio Ports
While some laptops from Apple and Dell feature only a single (4-position) 3.5mm audio port to support both audio input and output, this innovative headset splitter adapter breaks the audio port out into two distinct ports - one that can be used for a microphone input connection, and the other for connecting external (output) speakers.
Compact And Sturdy Design
The headset splitter features a compact and sturdy design to deliver the perfect solution for applications that require portability, and takes up very little space in your laptop bag. This adapter is not a headphone splitter/Y-cable. It cannot be used to split the audio output to two separate sets of headphones or speakers. Some laptops and mobile devices will not work with all external microphones. This is typically caused by an impedance mismatch between the microphone and the device, due to hardware incompatibility - it is not a limitation of the MUYHSMFF adapter. To ensure proper hardware detection, we recommend that the external headset be plugged into the adapter first, before the adapter is connected to the computer or mobile device.
*Headphones and microphone not included.
