What does the 3.5mm headset splitter adapter do? Do I need to plug it in for maximum quality?

No you do not. The 3.5mm splitter is basically just there for some extra length. For mine I use the audio box adapter that comes with it just for the mute button and volume settings that are on it :)

What are you using it for, music or gaming. The set comes with different adaptors depending on what you plug into. Do not buy this for PS4 or Xbox, it is stereo only and not directional. If you use it for music, the standard cables plug into your TV and the adaptors let you plug into your players. None of the adaptors improve or reduce the quality, they just let you use it for all the different purposes.

If you didn't try the headset converter, then don't bother. Good chance it won't work and will short your line.

Some of these answers are not completely right. If you have a controller with a headphone jack, you do NOT need the headset adapter. You can simply use the splitter that comes with the headset.

The headset you refer to uses 3.5mm connectors, such as the iPhone or any of the Android phones. This adaptor converts a 2.5mm connector, such as the old Symbian Nokia phones used. You need a different adaptor. And, whether it's the adaptor or my laptop, I can't get it to work for the microphone jack. I've actually gone to using a USB microphone (Audio Technica ATR2100) and a set of earbuds. But I needed that for other uses, anyway.

I own a headset that connects directly to the phone jack, in place of the receiver. If you don't own that kind, you will likely require an adaptor or splicer.

NO you need an adapter. I have some complaints from callers that they can not hear me but most are fine with me using the headset

No, you will have to get an adapter (I had to do this as well, but for a 3.5 MM headset jack). The actual connection looks sort of like a USB connection. This is the link to the adapter that I had to buy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000COKYXM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes, you can. It has audio out. But your headset has to have those plugs works on TV(colors are red & white). I think 3.5mm won't work.

Can you use it as a mic and headset for ingame chat? Yeah. Can you have the entire ps3s output audio routed to these headphones? No. Youll need extra cables and adapters for that

Yes, bought additional set and after trial and error and reading answers on this site; got 2 headsets to work using 1 receiver and the other as just a charging station. For either to work, the headset on the receiver has to be off the receiver/charging station for the other to work. I concur with someone else's suggestion that it needs to be in the instructions. I was looking for a splitter until I read someone's answer. No splitter needed; less stuff. Yeah!!!!!!Thanks

Sounds like it's a single 3.5mm plug, with an included adapter to split into two 3.5mm plugs (one for mic, one for headphones) for use on the PC. That's what my recently-broken Koss SB49s had, and I was able to use it on the 360 with another adapter I found on Amazon. Look for a dual 3.5mm to 2.5mm headset adapter. The one by Headset Buddy is the one I have, and it works perfectly with the 360.EDIT: After purchasing these, I can report that with a dual 3.5mm to 2.5mm headset adapter, they work perfectly with the XBOX 360.

I cannot seem to get the adapter to work at all. There are no directions included with the product. Am I doing something wrong? I have just been plugging it in to my computer, MP3 player, etc, turning it on, turning on my headset, and hoping for the best. Nothing. I have tried all that in different orders too. Any suggestions? Anne

I think you need headset with a mini-jack. I suspect you can trade in the one you bought for one that features a mini-jack. I also think you can get a converter that takes the larger jack in one end and has a mini-jack on the other. Radio Shack may have one of these and it shouldn't cost more than an couple of bucks if they do. Good luck.

There's a 3.5 mm cable that fits a standard headset jack. It depends on your stereo system, but I have an rca/3.5mm cable I used to connect devices to on my stereo.

No, it doesn't . I bought a $3 or $4 adapter to allow two headsets at once. I highly recommend the player.
