You NEED to know - volume affected by other headphones!
This is a glaring omission from the product description.
>>> One person turns their headphones down, ALL other headphone volumes go UP!
>>> Unplug one headphone, the others go UP
>>> Turn up the volume of one of the headphones - others GO DOWN.
>>> Say you have your computer audio output split into headphones and a home stereo. Turn your headphones down, the home stereo goes UP - and vice versa.
Things get really complicated quick the more number of devices you plug in. This isn't the fault of the manufacturer, it is inherent in its passive design. BUT is should be stated clearly so you know before purchase.
I am imagining fights in the backseat of the car when someone turns their volume UP/DOWN to annoy everyone else!

I got my splitter a month ago (or was it a few weeks?) and used it for my speakers and headphones on my Macbook Pro.
The volume doesn't necessarily die out when I plug in and turn on multiple headphones, but I can hear a slight drop in volume (but stereo is still intact), like I put a thin cloth between my ears and my headphone. If I plug in my speakers (which are amplified) there's no drop. So only the un-amplified devices will cause a volume drop (unless my outdated, 14-year old harman/kardon tweeters are somehow working better).
If anyone's interested, the volume drop is because the splitter is taking a single signal and distributing it to many devices in parallel. Since this is unamplified, the current will split unevenly across the devices (because each device has different circuitry and wiring). If you don't want a volume drop, get something like the Upbeat Audio T613-BMC Boostaroo 3 Channel Amplifier & Splitter for an amplified splitter.
Another thing the description doesn't mention is the included 25-inch male to male 3.5mm cable. It lets you split an audio source, and if you plug in both of the male cables to separate sources, you can split TWO signals!

I bought this splitter to use with my iPad in my classroom. I am now able to use my iPad as a learning center with multiple children. The price was much lower than any other price I found as well.

This is not perfect, but it is very good!
This satisfied my expectations perfectly, however, this product actually reduces the volume of the sound that's transferred through the adapter.

Great product
I loved this headphone splitter. You can connect multiple headphones( upto five) to this splitter and can enjoy movies/music. Sound reduction is expected with multiple connections.

Great idea
I bought this as a great deal on cyber Monday. Haven't really used it a lot yet, but it is a great idea and can be very handy with the family, especially on trips.
