Product Description

If you already have a nice PC Headset, why buy another headset for your smartphone? Just buy the PC Headset Buddy Adapter and save yourself money, clutter, and time! Just plug in the PC Headset Buddy for Smartphones and use your existing PC computer headset with 3.5mm mic/audio plugs on your iPhone 3G/3GS, Blackberry (Curve/Storm/Bold), Palm Pre, or any smartphone with a 3.5mm headset jack!

A big productivity enhancer for home businesses, sales people, consultants, road warriors, or anyone who is one the phone all the time, but doesn't want to carry two headsets, one for the computer, and one for your iPhone, Blackberry, or Palm smartphone.

Specs: Female 3.5mm Mic and Female 3.5mm Audio to Male 3.5mm Mic/Audio. Outputs binaural mono sound, meaning you if you have a stereo headset you will hear sound in both ears, but it will only be one channel (just left channel).

5.0 out of 5 stars Works on my Lenovo Laptop!, August 20, 2010

This review is from: Headset Buddy: PC Headset to 3.5mm Smartphone Adapter: Convert Dual 3.5mm to 3.5mm, PC Computer Headset to iPhone, Blackberry, Droid, Palm, Samsung, LG, HTC (Electronics)

I have a Plantronics headset that has two plugs, one for headphones and one for microphone. My Lenovo thinkpad W510 has a jack that supports headphones with microphone. This adapter plugs into that fancy jack, and my headphone plugs connect to the adapter, resulting in a usable headset without having to use the USB adapter that came with the headset, that lacks linux drivers. The only improvement that I can think of is a 90-degree plug, so the wire isn't in the way of my mouse on the right side of the computer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works with MacBook Pro as well, November 19, 2010

This review is from: Headset Buddy: PC Headset to 3.5mm Smartphone Adapter: Convert Dual 3.5mm to 3.5mm, PC Computer Headset to iPhone, Blackberry, Droid, Palm, Samsung, LG, HTC (Electronics)

I've just switched laptops from a Dell XPS to a Macbook Pro, and, lo and behold, the MacBook only has a single socket for audio, rather than the two of the Dell. So my headphones plus mic won't work since it has two jacks, one for output and the other for input. This adapter solves the problem: two female sockets (colored appropriately) merging into one jack. Plugging in the headset to the adapter and the adapter into the MacBook works just fine. You hear in stereo (just listened to one of those mid-60s funky mixes from the Beatles where John or Paul will sing into your right ear) and the mic works perfectly for recording, Skype, and the like.

Looks well made, etc; no quibbles.

Product is what it is. It has quality snap in design to make sure connection are snug and tight. Works the way i want to. Music, incoming ringtone, and calls all come through headset when it is connected to my Droid X. Price is higher then I wouldve liked, because I also need to buy another one for 2.5mm jacks, which is another $15 dollars...

Overall good quality, and does what it needs to do. Satisfied customer and will buy the 2.5mm adapter for hooking my headset into portable phone and older cell phones.
