Headphone Adapters at Learning Headphones
Which headphone adapter do I need?
Find what you're plugging in and what your device has, then pick the adapter in the right-hand column.
| You have… | Your device or equipment has… | You need |
|---|---|---|
| A headset with one plug (3.5mm TRRS, mic built in) | A desktop PC with two jacks (green for audio, pink for mic) | LH-310 TRRS Adapter: splits one plug into separate headphone and mic plugs |
| A headset with one 3.5mm TRRS plug | Only a USB-C port (many newer Chromebooks, tablets and laptops) | USB-C to 3.5mm Headset Adapter or USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Adapter: both keep the microphone working |
| A 3.5mm headset or headphones | A USB-A port, or a built-in jack with poor or noisy audio | EDU-USB External USB Headset Adapter: bypasses the computer's sound card |
| Regular 3.5mm headphones with no mic | A combo headset jack, and students need to speak (tests, language practice) | HamiltonBuhl Noise-Cancelling Mic Cord: turns the headphone into a TRRS headset |
| Headphones with a 3.5mm plug | A 1/4" (6.35mm) jack, such as listening centers, jackboxes and amplifiers | 3.5mm to 1/4" Snap-On or Screw-On adapter |
| Older headphones or gear with a 1/4" plug | A 3.5mm jack | Stereo 1/4" plug to 3.5mm jack adapter (or the standard version) |
| One audio source and two students | One 3.5mm headphone jack | 3.5mm Y-splitter cable: two headphone jacks from one |
| Devices with broken or bent headphone jacks | A 3.5mm TRRS combo jack | Fishbone TRRS Adapter or the TWT BreakAway 10-pack: flexes or pulls free under strain to protect the jack |
| Headphones with no volume control | Any 3.5mm jack | Volume Control Adaptor: inline volume at the student's hand |
