Asked 1 year ago by musician1.

• A:Answer Yes, the Best Buy essentials™ 6" 2-Way Audio Splitter can be used to connect the headphone output of a computer to two sets of computer speakers. However, it’s important to note that splitting the audio signal can result in a reduction in power to each set of speakers. This means that the volume and overall audio quality might be slightly lower compared to using a single set of speakers.

Q: QuestionWill this splitter work with aux cords and headsets that require power to come from the aux cord?

Asked 5 months ago by nilsqui.

• A:Answer Hi there! The Best Buy essentials™ 6" 2-Way Audio Splitter supports basic stereo audio sharing (left and right channels) and is typically wired with a TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connector. This works well for splitting music between two regular headphones. However, TRS splitters don’t carry microphone signals or power, which require an extra contact point—found in TRRS (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve) plugs. That’s what headsets with mics or power needs use. So if your headset depends on getting power or mic functionality through the aux, this splitter won’t do the job. |Angelica| Best Buy Essentials Products|

Q: QuestionCan it be used to plug in an airline headset to a regular jack?

Asked 1 year ago by Santa.

• A:Answer The Best Buy essentials™ 6" 2-Way Audio Splitter is designed to connect two sets of headphones to a single 3.5 mm auxiliary jack. However, airline headsets typically use a dual-prong connector, which is different from the standard 3.5 mm jack. To use an airline headset with a regular jack, you would need an adapter that converts the dual-prong connector to a single 3.5 mm plug. This splitter alone won’t be sufficient for that purpose. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. - Mae | BestBuy Essential Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285

Q: QuestionWhen you connect this to two different headphones at the same time, does it reduce the power of the signal going into each headphone set, or does the volume level remain the same?

Asked 1 year ago by musician1.

• A:Answer When you use the Best Buy essentials™ 6" 2-Way Audio Splitter to connect two different headphones at the same time, the power of the signal is divided between the two sets of headphones. This typically results in a reduction in volume for each headphone set compared to using a single set of headphones.

Q: QuestionI have a dt 990 pro will this connector change the 990 pros 6.35 to a 3.5 mm jack

Asked 1 year ago by Frank.

• A:Answer No, Frank, the Best Buy essentials™ - 6" 2-Way Audio Splitter will not change the connector on your DT 990 Pro headphones from 6.35mm to 3.5mm. This splitter is typically used to split a single audio source into two separate outputs, and it does not perform any conversion of connector sizes. To convert the 6.35mm connector on your DT 990 Pro headphones to a 3.5mm jack, you will need a separate adapter or cable specifically designed for that purpose. Look for a 6.35mm to 3.5mm stereo adapter or cable and ensure that it is compatible with your headphones. If you have any further questions or need assistance finding the right adapter, feel free to ask! - James | Best Buy Essentials Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/best-buy-essentials-6-2-way-audio-splitter-black/6458773.p?skuId=6458773
