I bought this product because the audio jack on my laptop was malfunctioning. I thought this device would provide me a satisfactory alternative in the meantime before getting it fixed. Other people wrote reviews saying not to get this if you want the microphone capabilities, but I'm here to tell you it isn't just the microphone that is bad quality - its the headphone jack too. The quality of sound coming out of the headphone jack is worse that subpar, it barely qualifies as audible noise. There is so much static, I can hardly recognize the original sound. The fact that I would rather use my malfunctioning laptop audio jack should speak volumes about the poor quality of this product. Also, the minimum volume is way too high for easy listening, even if it were audible.Even though it is cheap, don't get it. It is not worth wasting your time/money or the time/money of the poor Chinese guy who sells it for under $3 and ships it halfway around the world for free.
