So i got a pair of HD 558 headphones and a zalman mic, they work great on pc but i was told that i could use an audio splitter to use both of them as a headset on PS4. When i do this, the PS4 does not detect any input devices. Am i doing something wrong?

What connections are you using? I mean like: They're probably USB?

That time I saved Linus' WiFi pass from appearing on YouTube:

3.5 mm. I don't think they make those products in USB.

Uh I don't think the playstation can input a signal via 3.5mm. You'll need a usb sound "card" that can input sound in your case :/

 

No, that is wrong.

 

The PS4 have a 3.5mm 4 poles connector like the one used in phones, it can manage sound for the headphones and the input of a Mic.  I have use my MDR-1R as a headset many times with it's cable mic.

Maybe the adapter you bought is not correctly wired?  Have you tested it with your phone?  

Mystery is the source of all true science.

You need a headset adapter, NOT a mere headphone splitter.

Oh ok because before the person told me that they work the same anyway. 

so this would work?: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-headsets-separate-headphone-microphone/dp/B004SP0WAQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422376757&sr=8-1&keywords=headset+adapter

 

Or should I pay $12 more for the sennheiser one? (seems like a waste, it wouldn't make a difference right?)
