I have a Logitech 300 USB headset/mic combo. It plugs into a USB port on my
computer.

Is there an adapter available that will adapt a USB plug to a standard 3.5mm
plug, so that the headsets can be used in non-USB applications such as a
standard audio-out jack? Thanks for the info!

The headset was designed to work with the serial data from the USB port. It
will not function with an analog signal, as such from your audio player. You
would need a means to convert the audio to a digital USB type signal that is
compatable to drive the headset. It would be much cheaper for you to buy a
headset for your audio player.

There is a real good chance that it is not possible to do what you want without
re-wiring the headset. To work via a USB port, the headset must appear as an
active serial device. This is radically different from a the way microphones
and headphones work. In other words: It would take an active electronic device
to turn a USB headset into a microphone and headphone. Someone may well make
and market such a device, but it will not be a simple connector adaptor...and
it will probably require a separate power source.
