My computer doesn't have a microphone jack, so I'll need an adapter. Any recommendations? Should I be looking at 3.5 mm (female) to USB adapters?

This is what I bought with the Sennheiser PC 350 headset, they work perfectly together. Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Amigo II USB Sound Card & Headset Adapter

If you are using a Mac, there is a hardware device called iMac you can use. I believe a 3.5 mm would work though.

you can plug this into a microphone jack on a computer or laptop, but you will need an adapter that changes the end of the cord (1/4" plug) into a mini jack (like a headphone plug) to do it.

This sound card connects to laptop with USB. You can also use your headphones. I never tried microphone. But It should be compatible.

Buy a red/white female RCA audio cable adapter to 1/4" microphone input. This worked like a charm.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the computer's mic port is for input only. There is a separate port for audio output. This connector is made for headset ports which have both. So unless your computer has a specific headset port, I don't think this would work.

Ok what is it is the hole on the computer too big or too small for the plug from the headset? Do you have a connection for each of the mic and the ear pieces or just one? For newer computer the Head set has a single 3.5MM connection with 4 contact rings that will work with newer phones, tablets and computers both apple and windows. for older computer that separate connection for the mic and speaker they provide an adapter cable that is color coded green for speakers or headphones and pink for mic. The other adapter is a 2.5 mm for older cell phones and many wireless home phone. From your post I have to guess you have the 2.5 mm adapter installed, remove it and plug the cable directly into the computer. Hope this helps.

Hey Candy, This microphone works with phantom power, so if you want connect it to your computer you are going to need a phantom to usb adapter such as Blue Icicle. Blue Icicle adapter is going to allow you to power your mic with your computer and record with any application or software of your preference after you set it up as your computer external mic. You can find this in amazing too. No cords come with the mic set, you only get the pair of microphones plus the microphone's holder for each one. MXL is a great brand and this pair will offer you an amazon sound quality, although, the problem with phantom powered microphones is that they are very sensitive to temperature. You are dealing with professional equipment, there for maintenance is important. If what you are looking for is a good quality usb microphone, i will recommend you to take a look at Blue. They build great usb powered microphones such as "the snowball. very portable, not too heavy, extremely durable and most importantly good sound quality. this lil guy comes with the stand a cord, ready to go. amazon prizes this product for $49.99 (half the prize of the MXL 550/551) If what you are looking for is good quality and portability, ready to go mic. I will recommend you to go for the Blue Snowball microphone. Great from home standard recording. Otherwise take a look at the blue icicle usb adapter to connect it to your computer. Good Luck!!!

The headset you refer to uses 3.5mm connectors, such as the iPhone or any of the Android phones. This adaptor converts a 2.5mm connector, such as the old Symbian Nokia phones used. You need a different adaptor. And, whether it's the adaptor or my laptop, I can't get it to work for the microphone jack. I've actually gone to using a USB microphone (Audio Technica ATR2100) and a set of earbuds. But I needed that for other uses, anyway.

I have a logitech headset with a USB cord to attach to the computer. I know you stated one end of this adapter is a 2.5mm jack plug but is the other end a usb receiver that my usb could fit in or no? I am trying to figure out what I need to get to enable my usb headset to connect to my home phone jack.

I am pretty sure It would need an adapter. This is more for desktop or laptop use where you plug in the headphones and microphone seperatly.

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better.

No, you shouldn't need an adapter if you're plugging it into a mic jack. But do be aware that this is a lav mic, so it's not meant to pick up sounds that are far away. The idea range is about 6" since that's how far it'd be from your mouth when clipped to your shirt.

You need a XLR to USB adapter, but I don't recommend using this mic for a computer.You are better off with a Blue Yeti mic: Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone - Silver

Well, it is analog and is intended for use in an amplifier. But you could probably use an adapter that converts the analog to digital, but I don't know what the quality would be. If you want to do that, something like this should work: niceEshop(TM) 2.5mm Male to 3.5mm Female Stereo Audio Jack Adapter Cable,Black" rather thanBut if you're using it in an amplifier, it's a great microphone. But I recommend you get these as well to protect it from spit and such: Bluecell Black 5 Pack Microphone Windscreen Foam CoverBut if you want a good digital microphone for recording in a computer sound editing software or just for voice chatting or whatever, I recommend this: Frisby Stand Alone Microphone for PC Computer Laptop Notebook, VOIP, w/noise cancelingHope I helped ;) Well, it is analog and is intended for use in an amplifier.

"The mic", I had to buy a USB Converter, but I got mine for $2.18. So its not to bad. I got mine at ----> HDE 7.1 Channel USB External Sound Card Audio Adapter. The mic isn't powered, so it needs a usb converter. Plus almost all computers have usb, not line-in.

If you want to go direct into the computer you'll get better results w/ a USB mic. Otherwise, as others have noted, you will need both adapters and some sort of pre-amplification. For the price of all that you can get a good USB mic that will go direct into the computer.

The mic has a standard male jack. The cable is not included.As far as going to usb...I believe you would need a converter/adapter. There are mics designed to be plugged into a usb input.
