UGREEN 3.5mm Male to 2 Female Audio Splitter Cable, Black (30620)

UGREEN · SKU 30620UGREEN 3.5mm Male to 2 Female Audio Splitter Cable, Black Use a headset with separate headphone and microphone plugs on a compatible device with one combined 3.5 mm headset socket. The UGREEN 30620 connects a four-pole 3.5 mm male plug to two labelled female sockets: one for headphones and one for a microphone. The short black cable keeps the connection compact for calls, gaming and everyday audio. Key features Separate audio and microphone sockets Connect the headset listening and microphone plugs to their matching marked sockets.Combined headset connection The male TRRS plug connects to a compatible CTIA combined audio/microphone port.Compact 20 cm design Provides a short adapter connection without adding a long trailing cable.Gold-plated contacts Gold-plated connectors and a flexible cable support a compact daily-use setup. A practical guide to choosing and using it Bring a two-plug headset to one headset socket Some headsets have a separate plug for listening and another for their microphone, while many laptops provide one combined audio-and-microphone socket. This adapter connects those two headset plugs to a compatible combined CTIA port. The marked female sockets help identify the correct connection, so headphone audio and microphone input follow the intended paths.Understand the direction of the adapter The single male plug goes into the host device. The two female sockets receive the headphone and microphone plugs from the headset. If your situation is the opposite—a headset with one combined plug and a computer with separate headphone and microphone ports—you need the opposite adapter arrangement. Check which side of the connection has the single port before buying.A compact addition to a desk or laptop bag The short 20 cm connection helps keep the adapter close to the device without adding another long cable run. Leave enough freedom for the two headset leads to sit naturally, and avoid using the adapter as a handle when moving the laptop. Its useful role is connector routing; sound level and recording controls remain with the connected device and software.Set up both listening and speaking Connect the headset plugs to the marked sockets first, then insert the combined plug into the host. Check the headphone output and microphone input selections in the operating system and in the calling or gaming application. A quick test recording is useful before an important call, especially if the computer has several audio devices or previously selected a built-in microphone.Where it fits Calls on a laptop Connect a compatible two-plug headset to the laptop combined headset socket.Gaming and voice chat Use compatible separate headphone and microphone plugs with a device or controller that has the required CTIA headset port. Will it work with your setup? For CTIA combined 3.5 mm headset ports. The microphone socket is for a compatible TRS microphone plug; TS and TRRS microphones are not supported by that socket. Setup and everyday use Insert the headphone and microphone plugs into the correctly marked female sockets. Connect the male plug to the device combined CTIA headset socket. Select the headset output and microphone input in the device or application settings. A closer look Before you buy The two female sockets have different functions. This is not a two-headphone music-sharing splitter. A headphone-only socket cannot provide a microphone input. OMTP wiring is not compatible. Check the port wiring before ordering. Technical specifications Brand / SKU UGREEN 30620 Male connector 3.5 mm, four-pole TRRS Female sockets 1 × headphone audio; 1 × microphone Host wiring CTIA Cable length 20 cm Connector plating Gold Colour Black Inside the box 1 × UGREEN 30620 headphone and microphone adapter cableFrequently asked questions Is this a splitter for two pairs of headphones?No. The two female sockets have different functions: one carries headphone audio and the other is for a compatible microphone plug. It adapts a two-plug headset to a combined headset port. If two people need to listen to the same audio through separate headphones, choose a stereo audio-sharing splitter designed with two headphone outputs.Which way around does the adapter connect?Insert the headphone and microphone plugs into the corresponding female sockets, then connect the adapter’s single male TRRS plug to the host’s combined headset socket. It does not provide the reverse arrangement for a single-plug headset and two separate computer sockets. Checking this direction before ordering avoids a common mismatch between two visually similar adapter types.What does CTIA compatibility mean?CTIA identifies the contact arrangement used by the compatible combined headset connection. A 3.5 mm connector can look similar while using a different wiring arrangement or carrying headphone audio only. Check the host’s headset-port specification. OMTP wiring is not compatible with this adapter, and a physically matching socket does not by itself confirm microphone support.Will the microphone work through a headphone-only socket?No. A headphone-only socket provides an audio output and does not become a microphone input when this adapter is connected. The host needs a compatible combined audio-and-microphone port. If the computer has separate microphone and headphone sockets, use the headset’s separate plugs directly where suitable, or choose the adapter arrangement appropriate to the actual ports.What type of microphone plug fits the microphone side?The microphone socket is intended for a compatible TRS microphone plug. It is not a general-purpose connection for TS or TRRS microphones. A standalone microphone may also have power or input requirements beyond its connector shape. Check the microphone and host specifications rather than assuming every device with a 3.5 mm plug will function through this adapter.Why can I hear audio but the microphone is not detected?Check that the microphone plug is in the marked microphone socket and that the host has a CTIA combined headset port. Connect the headset to the adapter before inserting the adapter into the host. Then check microphone selection, mute controls and application permissions. If several microphones are available, the application may still be using the computer’s built-in microphone.Does the adapter need charging, batteries or a software driver?No separate charging or driver setup is required for the cable adapter itself. It routes the analogue connections between compatible plugs and sockets. The host’s audio system and the application still need to be configured correctly, and any separate headset or microphone features remain dependent on that equipment. It does not act as a USB sound card or amplifier.Can I use it with a game controller or phone?Only if the exact device has a compatible CTIA combined 3.5 mm headset port and supports the connected headset arrangement. Controller and phone ports vary, and devices without a 3.5 mm socket need an appropriate separate audio solution. Check the device documentation and microphone requirements before buying rather than relying on a broad brand compatibility list.Will it improve the volume or add surround sound?The adapter’s job is to connect the existing headphone and microphone signals; it does not add an amplifier, digital surround processing or a new audio codec. Volume, recording gain and sound features depend on the host and headset. Adjust those settings in the device or application and select the correct input and output for the intended use.How can I check the setup before a call or game?Play a short audio sample to confirm that the headset output is selected, then make a test recording and listen back to it. Check the microphone mute control and speak at your normal distance. If the application has its own audio settings, check them separately from the operating system. This confirms both connection paths before you rely on the headset.
