Worth the extra few dollars 
2008-02-09
This Y splitter is great because of the individual volume controls. Even if you don't need to connect two sets of headphones, the volume / mute feature alone makes this worth the money.
I listen to sports broadcast via the web all the time. Most of the time, the volume is so sensitive, that turning my laptop volume up one notch is too loud, and the next notch down is too low. What's great about these, you can set the volume on the loud end, then just use the super convenient volume adjustment on the splitter.
If you're only using one set of headphones, you can mute the other line and shift all the volume to the line your using.
In summary, regardless of if you're using two headphones or one, this is a helpful convenience device.
Pretty Good, But... 
2008-02-02
The idea of having volume controls on a splitter makes good sense. Individuals have their own volume preferences, and two listeners are likely to be listening with two different model headphones.
Now for the goofy part. The mute switch is not really needed. Add to the fact that the first time I slid the switch, the plastic switch cap/thumb pad detached from the splitter and went skidding across the kitchen floor...
Really folks...You've got two volume controls, you can unplug one headphone, or even take one headphone off (granted, earbuds are a bit more complex). Why do you also need a mute switch? This sounds a lot like a solution in search of a problem.
Suggestion: Center the switch, make sure both headphones work, and them use silicone glue to secure the switch in the that center position.
Terrific for kids sharing an audio player. 2008-01-22
This is a solid adapter for splitting an audio source for kids or for any other purpose for that matter.
great extra 2008-01-07
This splitter worked beautifully with our DVD player on our holiday travels. I strongly recommend for air travel with kids.
OK, but could be better 2007-12-16
I bought two of these items. One was defective. Not a good start, but the product is not bad considering it's the only option in this price range. There does seems to be some volume attenuation, but it is barely noticeable (i.e. the volume is a bit higher when the headphones are plugged directly into the source, versus through this splitter when it is on the maximum volume. Not sure the mute switch makes much sense. Why not have installed a mute switch for both sets of headphones? I can see more application for that than the current configuration.
Works great with Zune 2007-10-16
The Monster iSplitter 200 makes sharing musicand movies easy and convenient. Two independent volume wheels let both listeners set their own volume level. Now you can each set the perfect volume level for your ears.The iSplitter 200 also features a quick-access Mute switch that gives one listener instant silence. Now you can mute sound on one set of headphones for a quick conversation or a short break, without stopping the music for the other listener.Monster iSplitter 200 is tough enough to go anywhere with you. High impact construction protects the iSplitter from knocks and drops. A tough Duraflex jacket wraps the cable and a strain relief collar lets the iSplitter bend without stress on the cable.
Misleading! Does NOT work with iPhone 
2007-09-05
Even though its listed as iPhone compatible on Amazon as well as Monster's own web site, it is not! I wish somebody would either fix their product claims or stop selling the wrong (old?) version of the product.
perfect 2007-08-21
just what we were looking for! separate volume controls, since one person always wants it softer then the other, it works great!
Exactly What I Needed 2007-08-04
I use this splitter to plug into my laptop, with one of the outputs going to my desktop speakers and one of them going to my headphones. Because of the mute function on the splitter, I can choose to listen only through my speaker or only through my headphones without having to fool with multiple plugs or mess with unbalanced jacks. (Yes, you have both sides unmuted so that sound comes out of both sources, but that doesn't make a lot of sense for my setup.) Additionally, the individual volume controls mean that I already have the volumes set just right individually for both the speakers and headphones, and I don't have to worry about accidentally being blasted away when I switch between the two. The sound quality is excellent, and the amount of hassle it saves me makes it well worth the money.
Doesn't work with the iPhone! 2007-07-13
This splitter was listed as iPhone compatible on the Apple site, but it's not. Maybe in a future version it will be, but the one I got mid-July 2007 doesn't fit into the plug on the iPhone which is what I wanted. :-(
