Question about TS and Mics

[St0rmSlaSh]

Hey everyone! I have a question, so I have some apple headphones that have a microphone on them, and a lot of people on TS want me to talk but I don't know how to set the headphones up. Any suggestions?

tldr

you are trying to plug in a trrs connector into a trs jack,

(tip - ring - ring - sleeve) into (tip - ring - sleeve)

it's not gonna fit.

You can use the headphones which is on tip and ring, but you will never get the 2nd ring (where the mic is)  on your trrs into the 1st ring on your trs.

 

 

You can get an adapter which splits the 2.

A trrs fmale to 2* trs male adapter / cable.

aka a phone headset to pc jack adapter

 

eg.

if you want to use both headphones and microphone you will need an adapter because it won't fit.
