Product Information

Full details

This Kenable 007636 audio adapter is designed for users with 4-pole headsets (commonly used with mobile phones and tablets) who need to connect them to devices with separate microphone and headphone inputs, such as PCs. Its key benefit is enabling the use of a single headset for both audio and microphone functions on these devices. A potential caveat is that compatibility may vary with older OMTP standard 4-pole connections, which might require an additional converter. This adapter features a 20cm cable, gold-plated connectors, and splits a single 3.5mm 4-pole jack into two 3.5mm stereo jack plugs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this adapter?

This adapter allows you to connect a 4-pole headset (commonly used with mobile phones) to a computer or device that has separate microphone and headphone jacks.

Will this adapter work with any 4-pole headset?

It is designed primarily for headsets using the CTIA/AHJ standard common in modern phones. Some older OMTP headsets may require an additional converter for full compatibility.

How do I know if my headset is CTIA or OMTP?

Most modern headsets that came with smartphones (iPhone, Samsung, etc.) are CTIA. Older devices or certain headsets might be OMTP. If your microphone doesn't work with this adapter, it might be OMTP.

What are the connectors on this adapter?

It has one 3.5mm 4-pole female socket for your headset and two 3.5mm stereo male plugs (one for mic, one for audio) to connect to your device.

What is the cable length?

The cable length is 0.2 meters (approximately 20cm or 7.8 inches).

Are the connectors gold-plated?

Yes, the adapter features gold connections for better signal transmission and durability.

Can I use this with a gaming console?

Compatibility depends on the console's audio input ports. If it has separate 3.5mm microphone and headphone jacks, it may work, but check your console's specifications.

Troubleshooting

Microphone not working

Ensure the headset is using the CTIA/AHJ standard. If it's an older OMTP standard, an additional OMTP to CTIA converter may be required. Verify the adapter's male plugs are inserted into the correct microphone and headphone ports on your device.

No audio output

Confirm that the adapter's male plugs are fully inserted into the headphone jack of your device. Check your device's audio settings to ensure the correct output device is selected and volume is not muted.

Sound quality is poor or static

Gently clean the gold-plated connectors on the adapter and the plugs on your headset with a dry, soft cloth. Ensure all connections are secure and the cable is not damaged.

Adapter feels loose when plugged in

While designed for standard ports, some device ports may have slightly different tolerances. Ensure the plug is inserted as far as possible. Check the device's port for any debris that might be preventing a full connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables use of mobile headsets with PCs and laptops
  • Supports modern CTIA/AHJ 4-pole headset standards
  • Gold-plated connectors for signal integrity
  • Compact and unobtrusive design
  • Simple plug-and-play functionality

Cons

  • May not be compatible with older OMTP 4-pole standards without a converter
  • Limited cable length (0.2m) might be insufficient for some setups
  • Some specific 4-pole jack implementations may not work due to varying standards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Plug your 4-pole headset's 3.5mm jack into the female socket on the Kenable 007636 adapter.
  2. Connect the two male 3.5mm plugs from the adapter into the corresponding microphone and headphone input ports on your device (PC, laptop, etc.). Typically, the green plug is for headphones and the pink plug is for the microphone.

Compatibility:

  • This adapter is designed for 4-pole headsets using the CTIA/AHJ standard, which is common in most modern smartphones and tablets.
  • It may not be compatible with older headsets that use the OMTP standard. If your microphone is not working, your headset might be OMTP. In such cases, you may need a separate OMTP to CTIA converter (sold separately).
  • Tested with standard PC/laptop audio jacks.

Care:

  • Keep the adapter dry and away from liquids.
  • Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures.
  • Clean the connectors gently with a dry, soft cloth if they appear dusty or dirty to ensure optimal signal transfer.
  • Store in a safe place when not in use to prevent damage to the cable or connectors.
