SABRENT USB to AUX, External USB Sound Card, Plug and Play Mic and Headphone Adapter, Compatible with PC, MacBook, Laptop (AU-MMSA)

Used in conjunction with a Playstation 5 (which doesn't have a headphone socket) and a pair of Sennheisser HDR-170 wireless headphones (that's wireless, not bluetooth). I prefer these for certain games (particularly Rocksmith) as there's a less latency than with the Sony Pulse bluetooth headset.In spite of its low cost and unassuming size, it just works. Plug the Sennheisser base station into the green socket of the adaptor and plug it into the front USB of the PS5 and the console pick it up and automatically switch to the headphones. Fiddling with audio settings in the PS5 menus can refine things further, but even leaving everything on default works well enough.If you're looking for a mini-jack adaptor for the PS5, this is it.

Overview:I bought this to work with the Neewer NW-700. I bought that a few days ago and had it plugged into a 2009 iMac. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t pick up decent sound volume from the microphone when it was plugged into the headphone jack or into the line in jack.• The description details how its driverless requiring no extra software.• It was also listed as often bought with the NW-700.• Finally it lists as working with Mac so I thought I would take a punt and try it.Disclaimer:I don’t know what I’m doing, I really don’t! Hopefully if you don’t know what you’re doing either, then this review helps!Packaging:As in the pictures, a very simple package with some instructions, a thick foam mount to hold the adapter in and thats about it.First Impressions:There really isn't much to it. It seems well made, with no obvious marks, scratches or weaknesses. Overall it looks nicely designed and well thought out with the different colours providing clear indication of what each port is.Use:The instructions cover it but it really is simple, plug in and then attach either microphone, headphones or both into their respective ports. It was picked up by the Mac instantly and since plugging it in, I have a decent sound input and the NW-700 works brilliant. The last photo shows it appearing as a USB audio device. I still sound like an idiot though unforetunately!Longevity: Its a USB plug, and its going to be left in for a while. It shouldn't fail and I'd be quite annoyed if it did. However, if it does fail in a short period then it also has the option to register for a 2 year warranty. I've done this just to make sure. If it does fail, as always I will update this review.Cheers,

I use this for connecting between my laptop and my Rode wireless mics. It has worked perfectly for over 4 years.

I use this for my laptop so I can record my music. simple and straightforward connection, just plug it in and it’s good to go. The durability of the product is good. The quality of sound is great

Incredibly handy if a headphone/microphone socket stops working. Very easy to set up. Recommended.

[EDIT: strangely the device now listed and pictured is not the one I purchased. Seller seems to have changed the listing. The device I reviewed has no buttons and is quite small with a C-Media chipset. It's still a 'Sabrent' but no fancy buttons and was selling for cheaper.]I'm a hifi nut and use parametrically equalised headphones and hifi audio sources (O2/ODAC combo). I got this for my little brother as his onboard sound failed.It sounds good enough, better than the price would suggest.It has remarkably low output impedance (which I measured with my multimeter). Even ipods and iphones etc have higher. High output impedance can affect low impedance headphones (like most consumer buds/in-ears) and cause loss of low bass, boomy boost at 80Hz, and also high notes issues. Plus flabby bass on traditional headphones (ie, not balanced armature). So no issues there. This suggests a standardised chipset which means that on most levels the audio should be hifi.Obviously the amplifier section isn't going to be powerful on such a tiny device. So I wouldn't use it on headphones that a low in sensitivity or need a lot of voltage. Nevertheless, it does seems to cope alright at good volume with my 32 ohm, not-so-sensitive, full-sized headphones, though I may be hearing some distortion.I'm not hearing any noise, but there is bound to be some on sensitive headphones due to the cramped design. However I don't dare try out my more sensitive headphones (see below).Negatives: I reckon it may be compressing the audio, probably due to a cut-corners amp stage. I can't say for sure, though, but piping the music through my usual equipment seems to gain depth and richness, but that's subjective. Certainly, it's more than good enough for the average listener.Plugging in and out headphones gives a sharp crackle-pop. Much too loud even on my full sized. I wouldn't use these with balanced armatures as you might blow your ear drums. Standard headphones should be fine, but best to try with them not in your ears. This is probably the price for the low output impedance and a cheap design. Putting a decent resistor on would protect from this but raise the output impedance.I don't know that I can recommend them due to this issue. But if not using very sensitive headphones you should be allright.

I have used this with a MacBook Air to get me on FT8 with a Xiegu G90. Works fine!

Just plug and talk and hear
