This product initially worked well, but after less than three weeks, one of the channels went completely dead, and none of the many things I've tried have brought it back to life. There appear to be some quality control issues at Monster.
Most of the time, the volume is so sensitive, that turning my laptop volume up one notch is too loud, and the next notch down is too low. This Y splitter is great because of the individual volume controls. What's great about these, you can set the volume on the loud end, then just use the super convenient volume adjustment on the splitter. Even if you don't need to connect two sets of headphones, the volume / mute feature alone makes this worth the money. I listen to sports broadcast via the web all the time. If you're only using one set of headphones, you can mute the other line and shift all the volume to the line your using. In summary, regardless of if you're using two headphones or one, this is a helpful convenience device.
The idea of having volume controls on a splitter makes good sense. Add to the fact that the first time I slid the switch, the plastic switch cap/thumb pad detached from the splitter and went skidding across the kitchen floor.Really folks.You've got two volume controls, you can unplug one headphone, or even take one headphone off (granted, earbuds are a bit more complex). Individuals have their own volume preferences, and two listeners are likely to be listening with two different model headphones.Now for the goofy part. The mute switch is not really needed. Why do you also need a mute switch. This sounds a lot like a solution in search of a problem.Suggestion: Center the switch, make sure both headphones work, and them use silicone glue to secure the switch in the that center position.
This is a solid adapter for splitting an audio source for kids or for any other purpose for that matter.
This splitter worked beautifully with our DVD player on our holiday travels. I strongly recommend for air travel with kids.
