Are the two plugs three conductor or four conductor? i.e. if you plug a stereo 'phone with a mic into one or both will the mic(s) work?

Monoprice may have updated their design since the other answers. Mine (purchased late 2014) clearly has 4 contacts on the jacks/female ends, and of course 4 contacts on the male end as pictured.On the female ends, there's a contact directly below the outer ring, then 2 more contacts on the sides (one farther out, one farther in), & then the end point contact way in.Unfortunately I don't have a 4-connector mic to test with, but other people answering similar questions for this product have reported that combo mic/earphones that use 4-ring 3.5mm plugs do work with this product.

They are three conductor. Stereo headsets with a built in mic such as Apple's EarPods will not have a functional mic.

The headset has 3 connections: 1) a 3.5mm stereo audio input (to plug into a standard headphone out on an audio source) 2) a 3.5mm stereo mic output (to plug into a microphone level in on some device). Though there really is only a single microphone.. I don't know why the plug is stereo.and 3) a USB plug for power (it does some amplification)

The mic is monophonic, using tip and sleeve on the plug. A stereo plug has tip, ring and sleeve. So, you are effectively shorting/bridging the ring and sleeve so you only hear a signal out of one side. This mic is really designed for a camera - I use mine for audio on my Canon T3i with great results. For stereo, you will need a stereo mic with an 1/8" stereo plug - e.g. tip, ring, and sleeve.

The question is what is your plug... it has a 3 point microphone standard... and 1/4" jack in one plus you can find an adapter that fits into the 3 point so you can do mini jacks... it also has phantom power... so, I don't think it is a problem. The only problem I have experienced with it is that you cannot "listen in the ear phone" when you are recording which is a feature I really wanted for video as well... it isn't 100% the kind of device you would hope for.

Well this set has 3xjack connector. You can plug just one into your phone, so all you will get is stereo audio.

The description is inaccurate, or as someone else pointed out, a conglomeration of descriptions of multiple different units. The unit has no XLR inputs or outputs. It has 1/4 inch phone plugs (L and R for both input and output). The L in both input and output is designated as mono. To run stereo, you will need 4 1/4 inch phone jack patch chords.

No, there are 2 1/8 in plugs, one for the mic and one for the ear phones. Just plug them in and go.

It might, but I'm not sure. You'll see it has three black rings on the plug. That's an iPhone-friendly adapter feature. Most stereo plugs have just two. Mono plugs have one. I don't know if the extra ring would be a factor or not. I wouldn't risk it, and you can almost surely find a dual-mic input for devices like GoPros.

I have this mic and would like to try that on my laptop. since it only has one plug (not two) - where exactly should I plug it in? I don't want to wreck it...What applications do you use it for? I really would like to see if it will work with dragon naturally speaking version 11.5

The plugs for this headset are separate, one 3.5mm jack for the microphone and one 3.5mm jack for the speakers. An adapter to combine these two plugs into one 3.5mm jack is not included.

This is an adapter cable. It has two 3.5 mm stereo jacks on one end, that a headset with microphone that has 3.5 mm plugs, would plug into and on the other end is what is called a 4P4C modular (RJ9/RJ10) connector plug that plugs into a telephone handset 4P4C connector jack. If that is what you need then this is it.

It's a standard 3.5mm stereo minijack, the mic end is separate. The plug has a notch that prevents the mic from swinging into your face (the minijack is round after all). Without that notch you might have the mic swinging around, but it should work just fine, as long as the plastic part doesn't get in the way, with its diameter of ~10mm.

4 contact points on the plug separated by 3 rings. I would assume these are mic, left and right channel, and ground.

There are two microphone jacks. But, I have a wireless microphone "receiver" that I have plugged into one of the jacks. That receiver runs two wireless microphones. So, I can have 3 going at once. One wired to the stand and the two wireless. All the sound comes through the SingStand. Is a great set up for my 3 kids. HTH!

All headsets I have had played in both. If you hear a music player playing in both and in stereo, then the head phones are working. If telephone conversations are only in one ear then that is the phone. It's probably by design because there's not much benefit for phone conversations to be heard in both ears.

NO, you can only use it with 2 head phones or 2 speakers or a head phone and a speaker. I never tryed it with a mic but a mic and head phone jack are one in and one out so i dought if you can use it that way.

You would need PROPER cable, but the answer is YES. You will notice a RED / Right and WHITE / Left , CD IMPUT right on the front of the speaker to the left of the 2 mic/line inputs. ( bottom left) You're probably familiar with these as they are the same on stereo equipment. Cables available her on amazon or radio shack. It will have the red and white on one end and it will have the plug that fits in a smart phone or PC on the other end. Be sure to get the RIGHT LENGTH . Hope that helps.
