BelkinRockstar 5-Jack Multi Headphone Audio Splitter (Light Green) - Headphone Splitter Designed To Connect Up To 5 Devices For Classrooms, Audio Mixing & Shared Experiences - For iPhone, iPad & More

This is my second purchase of this product because I loved it so much. It is an affordable option for a classroom listening center. The students can easily hook up their headphones independently. During use all students are able to hear the story perfectly without any sound distortion. The only thing that would make this product better is a little longer connection piece. Perhaps a wire that is 12” long versus the shorter one. If the CD player isn’t placed directly in the center of the table, some students are unable to sit back comfortably in their chairs without their headphone wires pulling. Other than that, it’s awesome!

Super useful to split headphones. I used it with the iPhone adapter, and the quality was definitely good enough with five pairs of headphones plugged in. The price is so good I got a second one

Great product for connecting my headphones to iPad!

It helps to be knowledgeable about what you are splitting to know if the signal will be unusable/low in gain because of the extra load of more speakers/headphones etc. There is power sent out with majority of audio signals. When dividing that power, you might have issues depending on your use situation.If the signal you are splitting doesn't have sufficient gain/volume behind it, you may find that after the split the volume is not loud enough. So be aware and knowledgeable about what you are splitting! It is NOT going to reamp/boost/buffer your signal. This is by nature and NOT a problem or design flaw. Again, know what you are doing! (I say this because I read alot of "bad" reviews about this product over situations that come up due to what is stated here)Anyways, this is a hard plastic product. For some reason, I thought the black part was rubberized. This is no big deal at all. Just want to put it out there as I may not be the only one who thinks this.I am using mine to split a 1/8" MIDI out off of a MIDI controller (Beat Step pro) and then converting the 1/8" outs from this product with 1/8" to MIDI converters> this is great because it saves me from having to buy a MIDI through box. Absolutely saves me a good amount of money.I would not try to use this to split audio 5 ways without having something on hand to reamp the signals. Which COULD possibly require a reamping device for EACH output coming off of this (5 outs if used this way ..) Be aware! By no means am I implying that this WILL be the case, but it does happen to people as you can read in the reviews.Cables are not braided or reinforced which does worry me because of the weight of the splitter putting street on the wire. (The splitter is *VERY* light. I am saying over time, the *VERY SMALL* amount of weight of the splitter on its "IN" wire could contribute to additional wire degradation!)I highly recommend this product for ANY situation that calls for a signal to be split. The "star" design lends itself to having a more tidy work/listening area!

I have enjoyed the use of this device for outputting a sub woofer and openback headphones at the same time out of a single 3.5mm outlet. I recommend it well enough for this purpose. I once had it fall out of my pocket while trying to pull out an mp3 player and it still works and is not but ever so minutely scuffed. The only thing I can say is that the jack may not stay secure with wiggle on all outlet devices (partly depending on the device). I had a few partial disconnects on my t200 convertible tablet computer but overall and especially if it is stationary it should be fine. If any buyer finds this a problem then it might be good to find a well made right angle connector/adapter with a snug fit to send between the device and the hub adapter. I find this hub to be very useful and can recommend it.

Great, audio quality

There was a bit of confusion when purchasing this because so many people, including the sellers, haven't been clear on if you can have multiple inputs to one output. I can say, yes, you can fill up all 5 female jacks with input devices. Where this would be used is if you have one speaker system as an output that you want multiple devices to output to. I have a PC, Intel NUC and a smart phone hooked up as inputs all going out to a Logitech z623 stereo system. I don't notice a drop in clarity when using multiple inputs, but for each active input the volume drops a bit and it would be more likely to get distortion with multiple signals at high volumes. I personally will not be using more than one at a time, so for my use it acts more as a hub. There are two things to note when using it like this. First, cable length and quality seem to make a difference. My NUC, which has a low-end soundcard but is using a higher quality 3ft 3.5mm cord, is noticeably louder than my PC that has an amp boosted signal and better soundcard but has to travel 8ft on a cheaper 3.5mm cord. The second thing to note is that if you have more than one device active one may take control of volumes. For instance, my Android phone will drastically deafen all other inputs and take over the output. I am sure this has to do with some function of smart phones audio control, but i felt it should be noted. Besides that the Belkin Rockstar is functioning as i hoped it would.

So of course this thing can split and audio single five ways but you can send an audio singe through more than one of those inputs as well. I play guitar and record my stuff, so if I want to do headphones into my amp and then play music through my phone to play along with I can put that through the same signal into my headphones from this guy. Your phone needs to have headphones compatibility however. Also my whole band can hear my mix for our songs on this things since it has literally 5 inputs. Now since the signal is being split it gets quieter every time you add a cable to you that is receiving the signal. So just know you'll have to turn your stuff up the more people are listening at once.
