I have a Blackberry phone which uses the fairly standard four-contact 3.5 mm TRRS minijack setup to connect its phones-mic-and-button headset. The headset that came with the phone was absolute rubbish, so i bought a NuForce NE-7M (after careful reading of the Head-Fi forums, of course), which has a suitable four-contact jack, and rapidly became a happy man.
I also have a laptop (an Asus EeePC 1001HA) which has the usual pair of 3.5 mm TRS minijack sockets for output to headphones and input from a mic. I can plug the NE-7Ms into one or the other socket, but of course, not into both at once. I haven't actually tried using the mic socket, but when i use the phones as phones, the connection isn't great: if i push the jack all the way in, i only get sound in my left ear. I can pull it out a couple of millimetres, where it sits stably, and then i get stereo.
What i'd like is a small adaptor which has a female TRRS socket and two male TRS minijacks on short leads, into which i could plug my phones, and which i could then plug into the laptop, thus properly connecting the headphone output to the headphone paths in the headset, and the mic input to the mic paths. Does such a thing exist? Where can i get one? Where, in general, is a good place to look for something like this (i'm in the UK, but visit the US every so often)? I tried Maplin's website, and found nothing.
Thanks,
tom
