Splitter needed to attach two sets of earphones to the single external mic port on iMac

We want two people to appear on the same screen when talking to someone else on Skype. Is there a splitter available that would allow me to attach two sets of earphones to the single external mic port so we can use the Earphone mic and get good sound quality?

iMac, iOS 10

Hi,


Thanks for the response, however, I am looking for a splitter that allows me to use the mic on the earbuds so I can talk back---with good quality sound using the external mic on the earbud, not merely listen to the the person on the other end of the Skype call. The typical splitter is good for two people listening, but I can't find one that allows the earbud mic to work with the splitter.

Hi,


I did find what I was looking for on Amazon. It is the Wiretap Headphone/Microphone Splitter.

This allows me to plug it into my iMac of IPhone and attach two earpods. Only one earpod can be used a sa mic, but both provide audio. If two people sit close to each other on a Skype call, one has the mic on their earpods, and the other person can use the same mic when they sit close enough. This way the sound is clear and not hollow.
