Actually the Plantronics h/s can be unplugged from its USB adapter to reveal a 4 pole plug,

Ah.

but I don't know whether it's Android compatible.

Assuming no electronics in there at that point, I would think it would
'work' (even if it needs a wiring adaptor), it just might not work
'well' (if the mic characteristics aren't optimised for whatever those
sorts of devices would prefer).

The wiring splitter should arrive tomorrow so if we test what we have
and it's not sufficient, she might be able to take the headset back
(Argos) and just get something that is actually 'PC ready' (because of
the headphones / speaker switch box she's ordered that I have found to
be quicker and easier to 'manage' than any soft controls etc. The Mrs
has had one for years and often uses it to let me hear something she's
listening to on headphones).
