2.0 out of 5 stars Breaks easily, September 14, 2009

This review is from: Shure Level Attenuator Listening Level Controller (Electronics)

In the last couple of years, I have purchased four of these units. The attenuator works very well until the cord wears out right where it comes out of the base. The motion of normal use causes the cord to pull away from its connection inside, and one channel cannot be heard. It is quite disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent item, March 8, 2007

This review is from: Shure Level Attenuator Listening Level Controller (Electronics)

Even at the lowest volume level, my Shure E4C earphones are too loud for me when I am listening to music in quiet environments. This level attenuator does an excellent job of decreasing the volume. No static is heard when adjusting the volume. Also, the volume between the two earphones remains balanced at even the lowest levels.

The instructions state that this is intended for use on airplanes only but I have not had any problems using this with my iPod nano.

This review is from: Shure Level Attenuator Listening Level Controller (Electronics)

it's a standard volume controller that's compatible with any headphone that uses the mini type jack for mp3 players;

it's light and made of plastic...doesn't feel cheap though;

works as advertised;
