Is that a headset with 4 rings?

If it is then you'll need a splitter like this so you can combine both mic and audio to one cable.

Hi

The Apple (headphone + microphone) 3.5mm jack plug has 4 sections
while PC headphone set has two plugs one for audio out and one for the microphone

sometimes you can get the Apple plug to work as headset or microphone but not both at the same time

some PC microphones are mono, others stereo I am not sure about Apple


you can get adapters
examples
