Whether a pair of headphones with a microphone will function as both headphones and a microphone when plugged into a PC depends on the type of connector on the headphones and the PC's input/output configuration. Here are the common scenarios:

3.5mm TRRS Connector (Single Combo Jack): Many modern PCs and laptops have a single 3.5mm TRRS (Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve) combo jack, which can accept both audio input (microphone) and audio output (headphones) from a single connector. If your headphones have a 3.5mm TRRS plug, they should work as both headphones and a microphone when plugged into this type of port.

Separate 3.5mm Connectors (Green and Pink): Some PCs have separate 3.5mm audio input (usually pink) and audio output (usually green) jacks. In this case, you'll need a splitter or adapter that separates the microphone and headphone signals from your headphones' single 3.5mm TRRS connector into two separate plugs. You can then plug these into the corresponding input and output jacks on your PC. The splitter should be labeled for microphone (pink) and headphones (green).

USB Headsets: Some headphones with microphones come with a USB connector. In this case, they will typically work as both headphones and a microphone when you plug them into a USB port on your PC.

Wireless Headsets: Wireless headphones with built-in microphones typically connect to a PC using a wireless receiver that plugs into a USB port. These headphones should work for both audio output and input when properly connected.

Bluetooth Headphones: If your headphones have Bluetooth connectivity, you can pair them with your PC. Depending on the Bluetooth capabilities of your headphones and PC, you may be able to use them as both headphones and a microphone.

In summary, whether your headphones with a microphone will work for both audio output and input when connected to a PC depends on the type of connector they have and the PC's input/output configuration. If you have the appropriate connector or adapter for your PC, you should be able to use both the headphones and microphone functions.

It's basically an extension cord in my opinion.  So, yes, it should work when you plug it into the PC and the other end into your mic.
