5.0 out of 5 stars Practical for traveling, January 19, 2010

I acquired one of these to share music with my companion on a recent trip, and it worked perfectly. The Monster splitter connects to the MP3 player's regular headphone jack, and two male headphone connectors go on the split ends. It fits any standard headphone jack and doesn't affect sound quality at all -- this still depends on how good the MP3 player and the headphones are. What I particularly like about the Monster is that it has independent volume controls for each headphone, a little dial set flush to each side of the splitter. Otherwise, we'd have a problem: since I like my music louder than my partner, splitting the sound and not the relationship is the way to go!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very finicky, June 30, 2011

First the things I like: The splitter is both small and lightweight. Individual volume controls are both incredibly valuable and offer a sufficiently large dynamic range that I can use my Shure In-ear Headphones and my wife can use her standard Apple Earbuds at the same time on an airplane. This is harder than it sounds.

The biggest problem is that the connections are super finicky. You need to get the plugs in at exactly the right depth in order for them to make a connection. Bump it even a little bit and you're getting sound from only one ear, missing all the mid-range, or hear nothing at all. This is incredibly frustrating and makes the splitters almost impossible to use.

My husband and I share my IPod when we're on the beach, and this one works great. Each of us is able to control the volume according to our needs. I'd definitely recommend this one.
