Perfect for the Job

Solved the problem of attaching my external lavalier mic to my Mac laptop. No loss of sound quality by using the USB port. Great and reliable brand.

worry free headset adapter

By Bret

bought it so i could use my Sennheiser Game One headset with a chromebook or on my android phone, mic volume is spot on with this headset which is good considering the lack of mic volume adjustment available in those OSes, adapter included allows me to use it on PC also if my sound card goes out or is just acting out. volume of the output gets more than loud enough. The rocker on the side of the device adjusts the volume in the OS, its not internal hardware adjustments. easily worth the price. I didn't test the mute button since the headset I used has built in mute with mic boom being pushed up.

The ATR2x-USB is a USB audio interface that converts an analog audio signal from a microphone into a digital signal to go into the computer. The headphone output does function as a DAC by converting digital audio from the computer into analog audio for your headphones.
