Belkin F8V234-WHT-APL Headphone Splitter

Great little splitter that does an excellent job of preserving quality while adding a ton of convenience to my life.

I have a Creative X-FI XtremeGamer soundcard, which is an amazing card if I may add. The only grip I had against my card was it only had one true output, and being a gamer and music lover, I'm constantly switching between headsets and my logitech 2.1 speakers (older model, not available anymore).

While using my headset I'm using both the headphones and the microphone to communicate while playing games, and so simply plugging the headphone jack into the jack on my speakers. My case has a jack for both headphones and microphone which would work perfectly if the pins weren't set for AC97. I considered getting a AC97 to Creative pinset connector, but decided to get the Belkin splitter instead. So that now I have the microphone in the Felxijack and the splitter in the stereo out, which then connects to both my speakers and my headphones at the same time. I just switch off whichever I'm not using (my altec-lansing headset has a off and mute switch for both microphone and headphones) and enjoy crystal clear sound through the other.

I was a bit worried about the splitter possibly damaging the sound or the stereo balance in either jack, but the one I received was in perfect condition and the connections are strong and deliver the same great sound as before but with the added convenience of not having to plug and unplug my speakers and headset every time I switch.

If you are experiencing a situation similar to what I was, I recommend that you pick up a Belkin Headphone Splitter right away, it has made a huge difference in convenience!

This is a nice little cord (about 6 inches) for your MP3 player and allows 2 people to listen in at one time. Nice for the plane trips/car backseat trips or just about anywhere where you might want to share your MP3s with your companion. I checked and it works well with Zune, Sansa, iPod and a portable DVD player.

The small size makes it very handy to store along with your headphones. Belkin cable are usually trouble free and reliable, and this little cable is pretty sturdy with gold colored contacts. The quality of sound after splitting is pretty decent.

This works great. It's kind of a hit or miss with this type of product and this is definitely a hit.

It does what it is supposed to do at a pretty good price. Overall a pretty good quality product.

Who needs anything else this one works great. Sharing with my wife has never been sweeter.
