I've just bought a pair of NE-7Ms. In my mad rush to buy them it completely slipped my mind that they are for iPhones, not computers. So the mic won't work for, say, Skype. My question is this : Is there such a thing as a single 4-pin 3.5mm to two 3-pin 3.5mm (stereo + mic) splitter? I've tried quite a bit of Googling, but almost every result is some frustrated iPhone user trying to get it to work the other way around.

Thanks for any answers

The opposite exists, although i don't see enough pins on that iphone connector. I can't imagine it would be that hard to make - perhaps one of the DIYers here can do it. I don't think there's one commercially available.

Thanks dreadful, that was what I was looking for. I actually found them myself afterwards after another hour or so of searching. Unfortunately the shipping for one of them from the USA is $20 even for one, and I can't afford to pay $30 for such a basic item. I guess I'll have to try making one myself, though I have no idea how I'd do it. I know that there are 3.5mm video cables which have the same 4-pin segmentation as the iPhone headset type, so I have to find a socket and then two 3-pin 3.5mm plugs with cables ... then do some soldering, I suppose.
If anyone could give me some pointers about the wiring, that would be great. I think the four segments are mic, left, right, ground. And then left, right, ground for the stereo plug ... and mic ... mic, ground(??) for the mic plug. I really have no idea about how the splitting would be wired.
