Belkin 3.5mm Audio Splitter (Black) — Dual Headphone/Speaker Adapter
Product description
Overview:
This compact 3.5mm audio splitter converts a single male 3.5mm stereo jack into two female 3.5mm stereo ports, letting two sets of headphones or two mini speakers share the same audio source.
What’s included and how it’s used:
The package contains one dual-output adapter with a single male 3.5mm plug and a small housing that branches to two female 3.5mm sockets. To use, insert the male plug into the phone, tablet, laptop, MP3 player or other 3.5mm-equipped device, then plug two headphone pairs or two mini speakers into the female ports to listen simultaneously.
Compatibility and applications:
Designed for universal 3.5mm devices — smartphones, tablets, iPods, laptops, portable players and many audio accessories. Ideal for sharing music, watching movies together, giving two people the same audio feed during travel, or connecting two small speakers for extra coverage.
Warranty and brand:
Made by a long-established accessories maker, the adapter is supported by a limited lifetime product warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. The compact form and plug-and-play simplicity make it a handy addition to travel bags, classrooms, offices, and living rooms.

Rob R 5/5
Solid performance
Splits my desktop speaker feed and powered subwoofer with no hiss or loss of clarity. Sturdy build and dependable performance.

Does the job
Handy when I needed it years ago. Now most gear is wireless, but it performed as expected.

Glowing In the Dark 3/5
Build and fit feel cheap
The female sockets fit loosely on some plugs and that can affect sound. Bought two and discarded one; consider higher-end options if you need perfect fit.

Sherry Marshall 1/5
Received a faulty unit and returns were a headache
First item cut in and out and sounded poor. Support required photos and info; I eventually got a replacement but its audio quality was still disappointing.

Old-school hardware fixed my laptop audio woes
My locked-down work laptop wouldn’t handle headset and speaker routing reliably. Using this passive splitter let me have both a speaker and headphones without driver issues.

LifeIsGood 4/5
Useful but thins out the bass
Did exactly what I needed for an MP3 player/speaker/headphone setup, but the low end lost punch and the result was a brighter, more treble-forward sound.

Chad 5/5
Great for sharing audio with a friend
Small, attractive and very portable — plug it in and two people can listen at once. Both sides received clean, clear sound with no obvious signal drop.

William Issamu Sasaki 5/5
Works well, slight volume drop
Operates smoothly. Expect reduced overall volume when splitting, but it was easy to compensate by increasing levels on my speaker and headset.

Juan David 5/5
Good for two listeners
Feels sturdy and lasts. Connects two headphones at once but both share the same volume level, so one person may need to adjust their device.

AndrewHJ 1/5
Produced buzzing
This unit made a loud buzz. Swapping to another cable solved the issue, so it seemed to be a defective piece.
-
Rachel DiSaia 5/5
Perfect for travel with kids
Used it on a flight so my child and I could watch the same show. No complaints after months of use; very convenient for shared screens.

Reliable — bought black then white
Bought a black unit, liked it enough to gift one and later order another in white. Solid little adapter and well received by the recipient.
