This is great - I still use a "cord" headset for my cell phone, and now I can use it also for my laptop/skype by carrying this tiny accessory.  very pleased.  My $10 routine cell phone headset even gave OK performance in a speech-to-text program on my laptop (dragon naturallyspeaking; it accepted eight or ten sentences at 100% accuracy) although experts say the best headset possible is to be used for text to speech work.  In short, this little connector device has several uses and is very tiny and cheap.
