Add vital 3.5mm stereo audio + microphone support to your ultra-thin, ultra-lean, Ultrabook!
Not happy with the audio quality on your Ultrabook? Missing the sockets to work with your microphone or headset? Want to share audio between two listeners? Dog ate your sound card? No worries! Plug in a new sound card via USB and experience crisp clean audio again.
It can drastically reduce (if not totally eliminate) noise and clean up your audio, allowing you to listen to music, watch films and play games without the underlying hiss. It also outputs to both the stereo and headset sockets at the same time, so you can have two people listen at once without issue (only one mic input works at a time though).
These adapters are also great for gaming headsets, as you get a combo headphone/mic TRRS socket (OMTP), as well as the standard separate 3.5mm jacks for mono microphone and stereo audio. You can also connect stereo speakers to the headphone output instead if that's your jam.
Note: If your PC has a dedicated sound card or a good gaming-grade motherboard with an isolated audio chipset, this adapter may not improve the noise floor. But for unshielded audio hardware on mid to low-end systems, the difference will be immediately apparent.
