3.5mm Audio Stereo Y Splitter

Seems well-constructed and is working fine for 2 months so far. Heavier duty than most cables out there.There is no isolation between the two headsets, which means the speakers on both can act as microphones that carry sound to the other. On headsets with larger microphones, it might be possible for the microphones to also act as speakers, playing sound from the other headset, though I did not experience that with my headsets. This side effect is probably unavoidable without a significantly more complicated device than this splitter. The other thing you will notice is that volume will be a little lower due to the impedance of both headsets applying.Besides those fundamental design side-effects, sound quality is very good, and I noticed no other changes in fidelity compared to directly connecting my headsets.If your device has multiple separate headset connections, you may prefer to use those instead and avoid the lack of isolation and increased impedance you will experience with a splitter.The description claims it is a balanced audio cable because the common/ground wire is independent from the shielding. That is not the case. Not signaling over the shielding provides better protection from RF interference, but it does not make the connection balanced. A balanced connection would require two wires for every signal. I.e., to carry Left, Right, and Mic signals, it would require 6 wires plus the ground – 7 wires. They typically would be wound in a spiral for the length of the cable as well, so that they would have equal exposure to interference. You would also need connectors on each end that expose all 7 wires' connections independently, and audio equipment designed to handle those connections and subtract interference from each balanced pair. There are some other requirements, but that's the gist of it. Typically, instead of a cable with all those connections, separate 3-connection cables are used for each audio signal (such as left, right, microphone). Besides being a single standard type of balanced audio cable, it would better protect from crosstalk between audio channels that could otherwise occur. Regardless, this inaccurate claim is probably not terribly relevant to purchasers of this cable, since it is obviously not designed to connect to a balanced input/output.This splitter is good at what it does do—provide a sturdy, simple, unbalanced headset or headphone split connection, possibly with superior shielding.

The 4ft version was a great way to set up a quick surround sound system for the bedroom. Cables felt solid, female connectors click in snug. A great product that was exactly what I needed.

Very well made, with rugged outer material and great finish. Just plug and play, I used it to connect two speakers and it worked flawlessly.Highly recommend this product.

I am a musician for my local church and I connected this splitter to a p16 personal mixer and I gotta say this splitter does the job. You don't lose much bass or quality of sound. Of course it could always have a better more punchy tone for me but for the price the sound is pretty good. 4 stars for quality. 5 stars for price.

Worked as designed

High quality, reasonable price.

Everything was Perfect and in good Conditionals

Works very well! Very clear connection with very low noise. I was able to do my podcast episode where two of my friends that were in MN and could use their headsets (mic and hear) while I'm in CA. A great find!
