Hey all! So I work from home sometimes and use my iPhone for LONGGG conference calls. I was looking for the fastest way to unmute my phone when needed, so I went out and bought a Plantronics headset with a physical mute switch on it, and also bought a 2.5 to 3.5mm three ring adapter from Amazon. It plugs up fine and the sound quality is great but... get this... the mute button doesn't work! 
So at first I thought maybe the headset was faulty, and plugged in my tried and true Xbox 360 headset... which also sounded great... but alas.. that mute switch didn't work either!!! (and I know it works from many nights O' gaming!)
What the heck gives?
Here's the adapter that I bought.
