Syncwire Headphone Splitter, Nylon-Braided Extension Cable Audio Stereo Y Splitter (Hi-Fi Sound), 3.5mm Male To 2 Ports 3.5mm Female Headset Splitter for Phone, PS4, Switch, Tablets & MoreClimatePartner certified

I bought this a little over a month ago, and it exceeded every expectation I had, and several other expectations I didn’t realize I had until I used it. Do NOT take that statement lightly, because I mean it very literally. I'm a content creator, and after I started to upgrade my computer setup, I found that I needed a way to share my audio output between my wired headset and desktop speakers without unplugging and replugging in the audio cables to my PC. I searched for audio jack splitters and this one came up as the top unsponsored result. I saw it was made of very high quality materials (nylon braiding is an excellent choice for the outer jacket, and the particular variety of TPE polymer they used for the insulation layer is the most flexible and durable I've ever seen), and the good reviews convinced me to buy it in a heartbeat. I'm glad I didn’t wait either, because it's literally the best piece of wiring I've ever owned. First off, my previous experience with buying from lesser known technology brands on Amazon told me that when using an adapter or extension cable of some kind, especially a splitter, I should expect some kind of audio quality or complexity loss. I've seldom been so glad to be so wrong. Some reviewers claimed they got lower fidelity audio when using this product, or that the volume would be reduced when using two speakers/headsets at the same time (its intended purpose). I still went with it because I don’t care too much about any audio quality above 320kbps anyway, and I've set my PC and Nintendo Switch to automatically increase power to lower-volume audio devices. The listing said that it only allowed stereo sound through the wire. Interestingly, my bluetooth headset, also from Amazon (Cowin E7 by the way, excellent buy), said on its listing that it couldn't play music while charging, but when I tried, It could. In fact, I've had multiple experiences of Amazon-bought devices saying they can do something only so well at best, and learning that they're able to do significantly better when I try them out. I guess they do that so you get your expectations exceeded anyway, but I see no problem with getting something better than you expect (just don't assume that's how it'll be every time). Lo and behold, once I hooked this splitter up to my Switch and put on my headset, I could still hear where the wild Pokémon sounds were coming from in any direction. So it's got omnidirectional surround sound when It said just stereo. That's exactly 129,598 more directions than promised. Pretty sweet, huh? It Doesn’t stop there. This made me curious, so I put it to the ultimate test. I hooked it up to my phone, plugged in two wired headsets at the same time, and pulled up a Dolby Atmos 8D surround sound remaster of one of my favorite songs. There was absolutely no loss of volume or audio quality whatsoever. It was playing in both headsets simultaneously as crisp and clear with just as much audible direction and depth as if I was in the concert. The icing on the cake is that you can do it backwards as well, another thing the listing said wouldn't work. If you use aux cords to plug an mp3 player and your phone into one side, and attach it to an aux cord compatible headset, you can listen to music and a podcast at the same time, both in full original quality (assuming your mp3 player supports volume correction like my PC and Switch, otherwise it will slightly decrease the volume). Not sure who that appeals to, but it is nonetheless possible. Not to mention its durability. As said before, one of the reasons I gave this a try was the material used to make it. Take the description of an item's durability with a grain of salt unless it tells you exactly what it's made of. Well this thing is apparently made of hyperflexible Vibranium (not really) because my cat has tried to chew on my cords before, and when I caught her chewing on this, I inspected it frantically, worrying that my god tier cable splitter had been asassinated by a horrible beast. I couldn't tell where it had been bitten by sight or touch. It still works as if right off the factory conveyor belt. Long story short, It does exactly what it says and much more. I would be ecstatic if I could find something this good for $20, let alone $10 with the 20% off sale I got it with making $8. If I could pay full price to leave 6 out of 5 stars, I would. I'm buying a second one along with some toggle switches to make it so that I never have to get out of my chair to change audio sources again. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who needs one, and I don't think five stars even does it justice, but that's the max, so thats what it gets.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is a white cable that supports either a micro microphone or headphones. But not a microphone and headphones via one port.What I mean is if you plug this into your PlayStation controller you’re not gonna be able to use a microphone and the headphones it’s gonna use the microphone on the controller because there’s only three rings on the male plug. To use both headphones and microphone in one plug you need to have three rings making four sectionsHaven’t said that it’s a high-quality cable. It’s got a good silicone field to it, which means it’s nice and flexible but very strong. It worked perfectly with my headphones, letting me use the microphone that’s built into the PlayStation controller.

I needed a way to feed the same stereo audio signal to powered monitor speakers and headphones while keeping them synchronized (no latency between them). This splitter provided a quick, affordable solution; it is now a central, reliable component of my recording setup.

This microphone was recommended to me and I’m glad I took the advice. It was an easy set up with my laptop and the sound quality is very good.

This headphone splitter works exactly as advertised: it splits audio cleanly into two outputs with no noticeable loss in sound quality. The braided cable and gold-plated connectors feel durable and reliable, and the build quality is excellent—perfect for sharing music or podcasts on the goThe only downside is it doesn’t support microphone input. If you connect headsets with microphones, the mic won’t work—but for shared listening, it’s a solid choice.Overall, a great buy if you're just splitting audio. Durable, high-quality—but don’t expect mic support on this one.

Newer desktop computers only ave one port for sound bar. This product allowed me to connect existing sound bar to new desktop. Good price

This product in my opinion does its job and works for exactly what i needed for my pc. The quality of the cable seems to be good for me and for what i wanted it to be used for. Connects perfectly and is all set up the right way i wanted it to be set up for my speakers and headset for my pc.

I'm updating my review because the product actually works the way it was designed to work. I just needed to adjust the volume on my tv to get the sound I expected. This was my fault, not the product. Definitely worth the price. Works as expected.
