FAQs
Can I use this splitter with a headset that has a microphone?
No, this splitter is designed for stereo audio (2-pole or 3-pole jacks) only. It is not compatible with 4-pole TRRS jacks found on most headsets that include a microphone.
Will this splitter combine audio from two devices into one?
No, this splitter takes one stereo audio source and splits it into two identical stereo outputs. It cannot combine audio from two separate sources.
What does 'OFC' mean?
OFC stands for Oxygen-Free Copper. It refers to the purity of the copper used in the cable's conductors, which helps to reduce signal loss and improve audio quality.
How do I clean the metal ends of the splitter?
If the gold-plated connectors appear tarnished, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or liquids.
What is the benefit of the TPE sheath?
The TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) sheath provides greater flexibility and resistance to tangling compared to standard PVC cables, making it more durable and easier to manage.
Can I use this with my gaming console controller?
If your gaming console controller has a standard 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, you can use this splitter to connect two headphones. However, it will not transmit microphone audio if the controller's jack supports it.
Troubleshooting
No sound or distorted sound from one or both outputs
Ensure the splitter is fully inserted into the audio source. Check that the connected headphones/speakers are functioning correctly. Verify that the audio source is outputting stereo audio. Ensure you are not using a 4-pole device.
One channel (left or right) is not working
Try plugging the headphones into the other socket to isolate the issue. Test the headphones/speakers individually with the source device directly. The issue may be with the connected audio device rather than the splitter.
Cable feels stiff or is difficult to bend
The TPE sheath is designed for flexibility. If it feels stiff, ensure it's not been exposed to extreme temperatures or stored improperly. Allow it to acclimate to room temperature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Plug the 3.5mm stereo jack end of the splitter into your audio source device (e.g., smartphone, laptop, MP3 player).
Connect your headphones or speakers to the two 3.5mm stereo jack sockets on the other end of the splitter.
Compatibility:
Compatible: Standard 3.5mm stereo (TRS) outputs, typically found on most audio devices.
Not Compatible: 4-pole TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve) connectors. These often have three black rings on the plug and are typically found on headsets that combine headphone and microphone functionality. This splitter will only utilize the stereo audio portion, not the microphone input.
Care:
Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cable.
Clean the metal connectors gently with a dry, soft cloth if they appear tarnished.
Disconnect the cable by pulling the plug, not the wire itself.
