Can I use 3.5mm jack to USB converter in order to connect a headset to my Raspberry Pi 2. I want to use headset with microphone as input device. When headset is connected to 3.5 mm audio jack it can be used as output device only. I don't wish to use USB webcam with Mic and speaker. The headset which I have has microphone but it isn't a USB headset. So I wanted to know if audio jack to USB converter will work or not for the same.

No the 3.5mm jack cannot be used for input it is output only. If you need input you will need either a USB or GPIO soundcard with a mic input, or a USB microphone.
