I have a Blue Snowball microphone and a Hyper X Cloud II Gaming Headset and I use both for PC and PS4 gaming. I would like a way to connect my microphone and headset to both so I don't have to move loads of cables around. It also means I cannot do much cable management. Thanks!

Just use 3.5mm extensions?

That way you only have to move the headset and the mic, and the plugs can be located in a convenient place.

You could also use 3.5mm extensions and a splitter to connect both at the same time, but you do run into issues if you ever have both on at the same time.

The snowball is USB though and I prefer the sound quality of the USB for my Hyper X

I'm not familiar with consoles, you connect to it via USB as well?
