After I purchased my new Lenovo U310 Touch Laptop, I noticed that my communications headset (dual headphones/boom mic) would not plug into the new "combo" audio jack. As its name implies, the combo jack combines audio (inputs/outputs) into one jack instead of a separate plug/jack for the headphones and a separate plug/jack for the boom mic. While a combo jack is a nice space-saving feature, I was not ready to get rid of my favorite communications headset though I did shop around for a replacement just to check prices. I was surprised to see that prices for new headsets comparable to my "old" ones ranged from $90-$120 and were much larger than my current set. Most of the higher quality headsets I located were for gaming purposes rather than communications (as was my need).
As with a lot of gear, size does matter as I use the headset with Amateur Radio (Ham) communications software on my PCs and often take the headset with me when I travel. The large size design of the newer, gaming headsets would just take up too much space in my carry-on bag and/or my suitcase when traveling by air. So the Rockit Headphone/Microphone Splitter seemed to be just the ticket to let me connect my old headset to the new computer.
I ordered and received it in a couple of days. It worked perfectly. It's size is perfect for using with the location of the combo plug on my new laptop. The actual plug part of it only extends a little beyond the device so it does not interfere with using my laptop in anyway. The plastic "block" that holds the jacks/plug together are a convenient size to get a grip on it when inserting or removing it from the laptop. So all-in-all this is a great little device that works and helped me avoid buying a new, expensive, larger headset that would not likely have worked as well as what I already had. I highly recommend this device.

Product Description
Rockit gives you separate inputs for mic and headphones.
Rockit is a highly durable and compact audio splitter designed to help get the most out of your phone's audio jack. It gives you two connectors in the place of one: a regular headphone jack, and a mono mic jack. Rockit gives you the freedom to attach headphones and microphones independently. You're no longer stuck with the mic in your headset. Use any mic you like.
Will it work with my device?
Rockit is based on standard 3.5mm (that's 1/8", for our American customers) audio plugs and jacks. If you are plugging into a device that has a standard headphone jack, you're good to go. Its inputs are based on that same standard: one is designed to accept a TRS plug, and the other a TS plug.
Rockit can still be used with newer devices without headphone jacks, using a Lightning-to-audio (for Apple devices) or USB-C-to-audio (for Android devices) adapter, including those provided with devices by the manufacturers.

Works perfect with my MacBook Pro (see image)
I can only speak to using this with a MacBook Pro but I'm sure it would work just as well with any PC that has a 3.5 mm output. For me this was a perfect solution to my problem. I have a network phone that I use via my Mac so when I was listening to iTunes while working I would have to take off my "good" headphones and put on my crappy mic enabled headphones to answer phone calls. With this adapter and Mic I can answer the phone without switching headphones. Phone rings, iTunes stops, I take the call and when I'm finished iTunes starts up again. I don't need to switch headphones. Perfect for me.
