Can this be used with single plug speaker/mic headsets? Will they bypass the internal mic?

If your talking about the headset for your phone that plus into the head phone jack then yes it'll work. It's actually a pretty cool little deal for the price.

I wouldn't think so. This headset only has one plug that contains the left / right as well as mic connectors. Also, the connector is one of the 2.5mm plugs, not the 3.5mm plug of most standard headphones. That said, you may be able to purchase some type of adapter to allow it to work with 3.5mm plugs.

No they won't, as that particular model of soundstation doesn't have jacks for external microphones.

That is correct. This headset comes with two (2) 1/8 inch connectors -- one for mic input and one for headphones out. Which is ideal since that frees up an extra USB port for something else. What else would you use those 1/8th in. jacks for anyway if not headphones? There is an adaptor available on Amazon if you absolutely must use the USB.

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.

I imagine if you are using a headset with it no problem, I am not sure how you were thinking of using it. It works great with any of the headsets, earbuds, or gaming stereo headsets that i have tried, I even use it to plug my speakers in and it does a fantastic job with them. I also use it with my speech recognition program on Windows 7 without a problem.

I'm not familiar with that headset but if it terminates to an XLR then yes, this should take that and convert it to a plug that would fit in a 3.5mm mic port. I'm not sure if the cable would let you HEAR anything, but I've been using it to come out of a shotgun mic and into my camera and its worked great.

See how it looks like it can handle extra input, like for a microphone? Total bullcrap. It doesn't let the actual 4 section wires (left/right/mic/ground) pass through, it's the same as a basic stereo plug (left/right/ground).

If your headset has a plug for the mic and another plug for audio you will plug them both into this device and it should work fine. This does not us your built in sound card. It is a second sound card when you plug it into the USB port on your computer.

Nope, it works well connecting single-plug gaming headsets (and some earbuds) with laptops & Notebooks that have separate mic and headphone jacks. Totally useful for that, it's what I bought mine for and I use it daily.

Yes. The mic for this headset has it's own audio jack, so simply leave it unplugged and plug in the external one instead.

Jason,This just takes the regular headphones and uses built in mic on SBH50, sorry but you can hook up a mic headset, but it will NOT use that mic, as it will ignore the mic pin, in your headset.Thanks!

Not sure if this answer the question but this headset has not individual requirement of its own...it works out of an ordinary sound jack as long as your equipment supports that it should be ok....there are no special drivers or software for it. Simply plug and listen...as long as the device has a headphone jack it should work in theory....but it is mostly advised to check on your particular device manual to see if the device is compatible. That's about it.

Yes. We did that a few weeks ago. You do need the 1/4" to 1/8" adapter of course. But our unit had a lot of hum/hiss in it, rendering it unusable.I'm thinking that cabled versions (shielded cables) might be an option (saw them in Russia recently, ironically).But I decided this is awkward unless you have one mike per person, so I'm looking at sensitive microphones. Some seem to be able to cover large areas. For which a USB interface seems to be suggested, not plug in. Sound cards in PCs seem to not be adequate for good results, I've read - and experienced.

I haven't used it with a headset, but I don't see why not as long as it has a standard phone cord. A headset works the same way as a handset, wires to the speaker and wires to the microphone are the same. It just won't work with anything cordless. It plugs into where the handset would go, and the handset or headset plugs into the unit.

Headsets are individually powered. I don't see why not. As long as you follow the linking procedures for both.

The answer is yes, as long as there is accomidation for the size adapter, directions state built-in plug for either external mic or headphone.
