Costumer Reviews

.

Well, technically it cost me £5.02 including postage. I bet this is the only thing you can order where the postage costs 500 times more than the product! It's a good thing everything else isn't like that!

Anyway, my review......

Not much to say really, it does what you expect it to, which is to split a stereo audio source into two stereo audio sources. As the name suggests, it has 3.5mm interface, so you can use it for headphones from, say, your mp3 player, or whateverer else you can plug it into. I'm using it for my PC audio, because I will be getting a widescreen LCD TV soon, and I want to be able to use it with my PC, with sound. This little cable will allow me to switch between my monitor and TV, and get stereo sound on either, without having to fiddle around with cables.

One other thing I noticed, is although this is meant to be black, the one I got is white. Not that this matters in the slightest, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Another thing, you have to push the connectors into the ends of this thing quite hard, until it clicks. I thought there was something wrong with it at first, because I was only getting mono sound, then I realized it needs pushing in quite hard. Remember this if you buy it.

I don't know how something so simple deserves such a long review, so to summarise, this thing is perfect and at 1p you can't go wrong. Buy it now!

I needed an adaptor cable to allow for a 5 speaker set-up to be used to connect to the headphone output port of my LCD TV (no other mode of audio output on the model of Samsung flatscreen I have would you believe, so was left only with the headphone socket :-(

As my speaker system was designed primarily for PC audio cards, it had separate left and right 3.55mm connectors. I therefore needed to combine both outputs into one to allow it to connect to the single headphone port on my flatscreen. This cable was therefore absolutely perfect for the job (albeit 'combining' rather than 'splitting') ... five stars all round!
