    Hello,

    I got a laptop with one 3.5mm outtake for both microphone and headphones.
    This is the laptop, headphones and microphone I got.

    Laptop:

    ASUS N552VX 15.6" Full HD

    Headphones:

    Bose Soundlink Wireless Headphones II

    Microphone

    RØDE smartLav+

    And I am getting these wireless in ears as well:

    I want to use my current and future wireless headphones connected via bluetooth at the same time as I have the microphone plugged in to the multijack.
    I also want to be able to plug in the wireless headphones with the wire connected while using the microphone at the same time, which I will need a specific splitter for.

    The problem is that when I have the headphones connected via bluetooth and connect the microphone they do not work together.
    And since there is just one place to plug 3.5mm in I can only use one at the time and therefore I need a splitter. I have tried a random cheap Deltaco splitter but it did not work.

    At this time I am just hoping that this will work some way. I will pay a reasonable amount to the person that solves these problems.

    Kind regards,
    Henrik

    Here is some information about audio connectors. Phone plugs.

    Quote
    The terms phone plug and phone jack are sometimes used to refer to different genders of phone connectors,[5] but are also sometimes used colloquially to refer to RJ11 and older telephone plugs and the corresponding jacks that connect wired telephon
    The article has some rough spots,** but the topic is hard to make simple. Audio connector standars have changed with the evolution of Personal Computrs. The type called TRRS is now standard for microphones and headsets. But not universal.
    Here is photo on TRRS.

    Adding Bluetooth to the setup makes things even more complicated. A Bluetooth headset should have both microphone ans stereo earphones.

    Myself, I think you are asking for too much. IMO, you should go all the way with the Bluetooth and not try to use the 3.5 jackandplug set.

    But I am sometimes wrong. Maybe somebody else knows the answer.
       ;D

    ** End Note: The article is reall good. But the suject is hard to explain because many people colloquially refere to the jack and plug as if they were the same, or part of a set. Thus specific terminology has to be used to explain the variations in design.

      Hello and thank you for the thorough answer.

      I have noticed that the bluetooth headset work together with the rode microphone when i use them in my samsung galaxy S6.

      And when I do connect the rode microphone to the PC when the bluetooth is activated it doesnt end up on the microphone list but on the speaker/headphone list as 'Headphones Realtek High Definition Audio' and the bluetooth headphones audio is interrupted. Hoping that this splitter that i bought will work. Waiting for it to arrive.
