Product Description
Instead of struggling to reach your computer's ports on the back, wouldn't it be nice to connect your speakers or microphone to the front? This simple adapter adds a microphone-in and an audio-out port to your computer through a USB port. It's a great way to connect peripherals whose cords aren't long enough to reach around the back of your PC. Eliminates the need for a traditional sound card.SimilarProduct

Customer reviews
Works great with my Macs 
by .. Taper Wickel ()
I picked this up to try to use it as an auxilliary sound device for my Macs after my iMic died; I figured that if it didn't work, I wouldn't be out much. But it works very well; plug it in and it's recognized, without any driver installation. The out-bound sound quality seems very good. All in all, you can't beat the performance for the price.
Works great with my 3 laptops! by .. Patrick V. Murphy ()
Easy plug and play mini microphone. As I got tired of hooking up a mic on a stand or putting a headset on this little guy conveniently plugs into one of my USB ports and I forget about it - nothing that dangles or flops around. The sound quality is very nice and volume easily adjustable. One of the reviews here have been negative but there are two products - one is a mic and the other a playback only device which I have not tried.
Excellent alternate sound card by .. Arthur H. Johnson II (Flint, MI USA)
I picked this unit up to provide sound and mic for an ear boom headset to take with me in my laptop bag so I can use my Skype line. I have an acer gemstone that I picked up a year ago at a Walmart doorbuster special, and the built in mic never worked. I was a little nervous purchasing this product, given the reviews, but the price was right so I gave it a chance.
Wow, what a refreshing surprise this turned out to be! I plugged in the boom headset, plugged the unit into the USB port of my Ubuntu 8.10 laptop, it showed up automatically in the volume control, adjusted the mixer settings a bit, and it worked perfectly. The sound going into the mono earpiece was perfect, and everyone I've talked to over my Skype line has said I sound crystal clear, like on a real phone, or at least a decent cell connection.
I would recommend this to anyone looking to do Skype or voice over IP. Its always best to have a separate sound system when doing VOIP, as your primary sound typically interferes with your reception. This is an awesome solution to the second sound card problem, its ultra portable, has perfectly crisp sound with no interference
For what I was using it for worked great, but what about music? I reconfigured the sound server to use the little device to play back music, and wow, amazing sound came out of the headphones! This unit can more than replace your current sound system. It even seemed to provide more backbone to the music than the internal HDA sound built into my laptop.
So for doing VOIP, or replacing a sound card that just isn't working for you, or providing sound to a machine that lacks it, this little unit is for you. It works 110% for me on Ubuntu 8.10.
Works great for my headphones by .. J. Reed ()
I broke the headphone jack on my laptop, and to get it fixed would cost me hundreds because it's part of the motherboard. So i got this and it works fine for my headphones or external speakers. It uses its own sound card which is pretty decent. My internal sound card is pretty basic itself anyway. I don't use the microphone function so i cant comment on that.
Good product by .. Steven M. Guillotel (Eagan, MN USA)
I was convinced the only way I could ever get my sound back on my laptop was to get it fixed when my audio input jack was broken, but after doing some searching I found a product like this to try out. It has worked wonderfully and saved me a lot of money since I don't need to get the whole computer fixed now for sound and I don't have to deal with no sound at all. The speakers are a little more sensitive when you turn them up with this (it can go from being really quiet to suddenly pretty loud, but not that bad), but I would gladly pay the few dollars for this alternative for paying a few hundred dollars if not more to get the audio input jack fixed, which actually requires replacing the whole motherboard or something extreme like that if I remember correctly.
