On a computer
- Most computers and laptops now only have one combined TRRS headphone/mic port.
- Use the TRRS splitter to connect both the mic and headphones to the same port.
On a mobile device

- Use the TRRS splitter to connect both the mic and headphones to the same port.

- a USB-C to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter (Android devices and some newer iPads)
