Full Version: Headset selector switchbox

I want to be able to quickly switch which computer or device my headset (headphones+mic) is connected to. Basically what I need is a "KVM" for my headset. So one connector for the headphone and mic and then a set of connectors that go to my mp3 player, stereo, computer #1, #2, etc.

Anyone know of a device that does this? I could settle for one that just does the headphones (then I'll buy 2 and use one for the mic).

1. Audio quality is low on the list (this is for voice chat/gaming and usability)
2. Do not want to roll my own (looking for retail products)
3. Ideally uses all 3.5mm plugs (don't want a ton of adapters). RCA is out of the question, but larger 1/4" stereo plugs would ok.
4. Support for at least 3 devices
5. Ability to have more than one headset would be awesome

I made a really ugly graphic of what I'm looking for to clear up any confusion (note: I'm using an actual headset with an integrated mic):

This is the closest thing I can find to what I'm looking for.

Hopewell 3.5mm Jack Audio Selector

You can select between 3 different sources and of the plugs are 3.5mm. To use with a headset (headphone+mic) I would need to buy two of them.

Heres some pictures of the device:

The model is Hopewell AV-200 and I can only find one network of website selling them (stuffgeek, which I've never heard of).

Hopefully someone knows of other products out there?

Thought I'd update this thread for anyone who's interested. I bought a few sets of these from stuffgeek's sister site:

and they work fine. Shipping takes awhile from hong kong but since its cheap and they work well I'm happy.

I bought several of these a few years back and they worked ok as well (for two headsets or heatset vs. speakers): http://www.geekbro.com/index.cfm/hurl/page...urce=GoogleBase
