USB headset with mic that works on a Chromebook

[smurfomatic]

We have had a request for some headsets with mics to use for the pupils in school. They need to work with Samsung XE303 Chromebooks, as these devices only have one 3.5mm jack then the headsets will need to be USB.

 

Does anyone out there have any experience, and can recommend a budget option? All the ones I'm finding around the £15 mark look okay, but don't mention Chromebook compatibility.

These work well with our Lenovo, Dell and HP Chromebooks.

Cannot see why they would not work with a Samsung.

The single 3.5mm jack does headphone and microphone just like a mobile phone.

Thanks - hadn't realised these Chromebooks had the 4 pole connectors, but then again it does explain the issues some children have of their mic being muted when the headphones aren't plugged in properly!
