Content: Plugged it in to my Server (Windows Server 2003) and it works great. The server did not come with a sound card, so this was an easy way to add one. Very simple.
Summary: Works great

Content: Great for DJ'ing if you only need the headphone out (for cueing).
* it may be cheap, but for monitoring the cue level of my audio while my primary internal soundcard if sending the main out to the "House PA System" it's perfect. The audio out may not be overly stellar... but I only need it as a (live)personal headphone monitor when pemixing live. GO TO YOUTUBE and you can see several DJ's incorporating the exact device in their system. My advice - buy several, the weekend is coming up and this DJ has got to work...
Summary: Great for DJ'ing if you only need the headphone out (for cueing)

Content: Purchased to facilitate plugging/unplugging of a headset/mic combo for use with voice recognition. As others have said the speaker volume is way off and has to be adjusted each time. Fatal flaw is no matter what I did the microphone would not work thru this piece of junk.
It is cheap but then so what. They should be sending them out free of charge or better yet dumping them somewhere in the Pacific between here and China.
Summary: Please don't waste your time with this

Content: Like the others who rate this product as one star, I found it to be totally unusable for the intended purpose. The seller does NOT list it as being compatible with Mac, for good reason, but based on other reviews I took a chance. It was a waste of money. My recent [Oct 2008] MBP did recognize the mic portion but there is a chronic 'clicking' noise about once per second as it cuts in and out that renders the mic feature useless. There is no documentation online or with the product, so it either works perfectly or you are hosed. The headphone portion will not work at all with my MBP regardless of the settings. I cannot tell whether I received a defective product that only half works or if it is truly incompatible with MBP but I would definitely tell other potential buyers to pay the exorbitant price for the Mac-specific adapters that actually work.
Summary: Does NOT work for recent Mac Book Pros

Content: I am very pleased with the converter. I got this because the port hole in my laptop broke. I have tried this converter on 2 headsets.
On the Logitech Premium Stereo, the Microphone quality was the exact same. Sound however was worse, added fuzz, it was OK but poor.
On the Razer Piranna (high quality gaming), BOTH functions worked PERFECTLY! I'm very happy!
...which leads me to think, that the better the headset, the better results you will have.
In reading some of the reviews, it seems like people are expecting the converter to improve their headset, when you really only can expect it to be the same.
Great product, Very cheap! If you have the Razer Piranna don't hesitate and get this product now.
Summary: Tested this out on two different headsets...
