Hey, /g/. Not sure if this is your realm or more of /mu/s, but I'll start here.
I picked up a pair of Bose soundtrue 2 headphones to replace my HD202. I didn't expect the inline mic to work with my PC, but a friend said an audio splitter would get it going, which would be a nice little bonus. My question is would a splitter noticeably degrade the sound quality?

>would a splitter noticeably degrade the sound quality?
No
But it also won't work

I'm an idiot and posted a pic of the wrong type of splitter.

I've got no idea, but you could always just buy a splitter and try it, I would guess that you can get one on eBay for like £2 or less
Or if you want to know the answer first then G O O G L E

That seems like it would work. Normal headphone jacks are TRS. Ones with built in microphones/remotes are TRRS. If you find one that will split the mic signal, I don't see why you couldn't plug it into the mic jack of your PC. Also >>>/g/sqt

Fair enough. I'll grab one and try it; worst case scenario I can just use the splitter when I need the mic and switch back to direct when I don't.
Thanks, /g/!

I bought this splitter so me and my brother could listen to the same stuff testing songs when drunk.
I have good audio equipment so I wanted something that wouldn't degrade the sound. This is what I bought and it works perfectly.

Looks good, I'll give it a try.

I tried these at a local Virgin, they're really subpar at best in terms of sound if you consider the price imo
but you can barely feel them on your head compared to the studio headphones I have on (Tascam), I remember my sister borrowing these and telling me she could barely keep her head up

Oh shit that's not the right one, sorry.
It's this one
