Keyboard & Headset question

[bleach💜]

I plan on buying Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2 keyboard because it has a usb & headphone jack on the side. My only question would be Is the headphone jack for Audio & microphone? or Just audio? Cuz I own xbox turtle beaches that only have 1 jack for audio and microphone. if i were to plug that into my keyboard would I get audio and be able to use my mic?

I looked it up and in the description it says
"USB, 3.5mm headphone and microphone ports allow for easy cable routing"
So yea it has a 3.5mm jack and a USB port as well for using your mic.

Wait so the 3.5 jack is only for audio and the usb is for microphone? Cuz my stupid xbox headset only has 1 3.5 jack no usb

Or is the jack for combined audio and microphone? (which im assuming it would be)

i think it gives you the option to either use the 3.5mm or usb jack for a microphone/headset with either jack
I see that the V1 version has two seprate 3.5mm jacks that are labled mic/headphones whereas the v2 only has one 3.5mm jack.

if you are not comfortable with that, you can get the V1 version which has two separate 3.5mm jacks one specifially for microphone and one for headphone.

Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2
3.5mm jack handles Audio Out and In
So it supports 4-pole single jack Headsets.
This also then turns that connected Headset into a USB Headset and the Audio is handled through USB emulation and power; and your audio is configured via Razer Synapse.

Its since been solved. Youtube sources are not credible at all as one video says the 3.5mm jack supports audio & mic and another video says it does not support both audio & mic. Basically, dont trust any of these 'reviews' simply put they do not know what they are talking about. I had to contact Razer and ask them. & It the jack is infact compatible with audio & microphone headsets. So I ordered it! Cant wait!

Forget YouTubers; Razers specs says "Audio Out and In"
So that is a 4pole all in one jack; case closed.

I dont know those fancy computer words:p Old school over here

What fancy words? The terms are pretty clear and straight-forward.

4pole all in one jack, is typical for alot of things now:
Laptops, Phones, Tablets
Instead of being 2x seperate audio in and out jacks (3-pole) it is a single jack.
