Monster Cable AICYP iSplitter Mini Y-Adapter for iPod and Mac Reviews

• not just for the ipod!

  
  By A3NZVCL9N8CLHB on 2003-08-28
  This is a simple minijack splitter that takes one female 3.5mm stereo minijack and turns it into two! Wallah! You can use this anywhere a headphone jack exists. Use it on your laptop computer, your discman, walkman, mp3 player, even the soundcard on your pc - it doesnt matter it's just a splitter.

  In typical monster style the splitter is made of the highest possible quality and offers excelent performance. It's also stylish, although it is made to fit with the iPod/iBook design scheme.

  Bottom line, this type of splitter is ideal for gadget finatics and people who travel a lot and like to bring along thier music (unless you dont ever have the need to share). With this you can allow two pairs of headphones to be plugged into one discman, laptop, mp3 player, etc.

  If you've ever wished you and your friend could both plug your headphone into your laptop so you could BOTH watch (and hear) a DVD on a bus trip this is the solution.
  
  

• Simple solution with great design/aesthetics

  OK, this is a splitter. You can buy a cheap one anywhere but this one is well-made. The design matches the iPod well but it's functional as well. The black circle is a rubberized material with ridges that provide a good place to hold the splitter while you plug or unplug headphones. It works great.

  I bought the splitter to use with a laptop playing DVD's while on vacation so that my wife and I could both listen with headphones (extremely important not to wake kids, especially while trying to enjoy a quiet moment on vacation). It works well on the plane too where you must use headphones to not disturb other passengers.
  
  

• Great.

  This is ideal for the new iPOD you want to share with a friend. As usual, the sound quality on the Monster product is superior.
  
  

• Overpriced, but handy and easy

  When you get the idea of having a Y-Adapter and how much good it could do, you would think it would be difficult to choose a Y adapter from the enourmous electronics market. This adapter is really complimentary, and shows off as a better splitter there is.
  
  Monster has done some effort and design for this, which shows in the cool look of the adapter and in the really overpriced price. The adapter feels good in your hand, and it doesn't have a too long wire connecting the input to the adapter, so tangle free-operation (though this can be a disadvantage for some people). The wire is well-insulated for maximum protection.
  
  Though overpriced, if you are looking for a Y adapter, this is the one to buy. I use this adapter to share music by headphones and split the output of my audio card to headphones and speakers, so when I want to listen to my headphones, I leave the speakers off and vice versa, so I don't have to crouch behind the computer.
  
  Recommended!
  
  

• Got mine at the dollar store

  
  By AQRXWOV88WY78 on 2005-01-17
  They sell these at almost every dollar store, sure the sound quality might not be quite as good, but you're going to have signal loss whatever you hook it up to. These things sell for $1.50 CAN at dollar stores and are worth every penny of THAT price
  
  
• amazing
  By A38DAKY939DYYK on 2005-01-10
  i recently received this so i could share my "tunes" from my iPod with my sister while traveling on an airplane to florida, and it works really well. Great sound quality, no difference noted... Buy this if you are looking for a splitter.
  
  You can pick one up at RadioShack for $10
  
  
• Great Item! you dont know you need it until you get it.
  By A29GT94TNSYYT1 on 2005-12-06
  theres not much that you can say about a typical audio splitter but nevertheless:
  you dont know you need an audio spilitter until you get one! this one is well made and feels like it ill last forever. i like how when you plug it in it feels a little hard to plug it. I thought that it was gonna be too bulky when I saw the pictures but its ok. You should buy this since this is probably something youll have for the rest of your life. and the price i got it for from amazon is a steal!

• Audio Output Splitter
  By A1O8TBJ0KG2RGR on 2005-08-10
  This splitter from Monster Cable is built with high quality materials in a white theme that looks good with Apple iPods and iBook computers. Two of you can hook up headphones at the same time while you travel in a car or airplane, sharing one DVD player or music player. You might find cheaper devices that do this job, but this one will never become intermittent or get corroded.
  
  
• Suffers the Wear and Tear Instead of my Headphone Jack!!!
  By A2VUGO8D8PPL6L on 2006-02-04
  This Monster Splitter is very well made and is visually appealing. It should last a lifetime. I bought this for my Cowon Iaudio U3 mp3 player. I connect this splitter to the U3 headphone jack and use the jacks on this instead of connecting my headphone directly into the U3 all the time, that way I save the wear and tear on my U3 headphone jack but this splitter could be used for any device that has a headphone jack not just for mp3s or Ipods.
  
  
• Good enough
  By A2QUJBCBAACT14 on 2006-03-19
  It does the job and stops a fixed piece of plastic hardware sticking our of your laptop.
  
  It is flexible and seems less fragile whilst being mobile with a companion.
  
  Having said that, it still only splits a signal. And many adapters do that, but this has a comfortable, unbreakable feel about it. Good value for money.
  
  
• Good Splitter
  By AMS2CPERWN7JV on 2006-12-13
  Like others have mentioned, this is just simply a headphone 3.5mm splitter. It's solid and well made, and the molded plastic section is sturdy so it isn't going to break from extended use. Because of this it also is "neater" in your case, since it's not just three cable ends.
  
  I got this $3.50 a piece, so that's why it got 5 stars, had it been a higher price it would have lost a few points on value.
  
  
• Splitter Y adaptor

  Pros:
  
  high quality construction, quality materials, what you come to expect of Monster Cable products.
  
  Cons:
  
  None
  
  Recommended if you want to share your "noise". I am very pleased with this purchase.
  
  
• Shipping too high, item overall good
  By A1XJSBBSDFHJFC on 2007-03-15
  This item took too long to ship, so I went out to RadioShack and purchased the same thing for $10 dollars. When I got it in the mail, I discovered it was very difficult to return items to this store. I emailed the customer service person, and finally got the code to return it. I had to use my own packagaing, and I had to pay for shipping back! I didn't even get refunded for the shipping from the store to my home. So I ended up getting $4 or so refunded back, but had to pay for packaging and shipping it back. Don't buy it here, go out and buy it elsewhere.
  
  But the item is good. It works well. The only negative comment is the size. Reading the description, I expected it to be smaller. The size doesn't bother me, because if it were any smaller, I would probably lose it.
  
  
• Excellent quality product
  By A3HNK11TXH1AMI on 2007-05-06
  if you want quality at a respectible price in cables and accessories, there is only one name to remember... MONSTER CABLE.
  
  
• perfect for two
  By A1FZ6MBPEUDGT8 on 2007-10-22
  This adapter allows my husband and I to listen to our ipod together. Works great for airplane trip!
  
  
• Monster Sound
  By A6XGJ0TT1SY74 on 2007-10-28
  Monster's gold connections don't lose any sound quality, so I use it even with only one set of headphones - The great design makes it easier to plug and unplug into laptops/computers instead of squeezing in those tiny plugs that come with most lightweight headphones. For a few dollars more you can get it in black with separate volume dials and a mute button, but I kind of like less adjustments when it comes to volume levels - set it and forget it. The white color is also easy to see in low light. Very sturdy feel to it, getting more to give as gifts.
  
  
• very convenient
  By A1TG7RLCP5Q769 on 2007-12-10
  what more can i say other than allows two people to be entertained at once on my ipod touch. whether it's watching movies or tv shows or listening to music, whenever i have someone with me and we're on standby we will always be entertained.
  
  
• Great Product
  By APILVT17IO5C9 on 2008-04-07
  I've always been a big fan of Monster products. I use them for every electronic connection in my house. This quality of this little splitter is no exception. We used it recently on a vacation so my wife and I could watch movies on my iTouch. I've owned a couple of cheap splitters in the past and both sounded terrible. I was constantly adjusting the mini-plug to eliminate static noises. This one worked beautifully. We watched 6 movies together and didn't hear one peep of static. Spend the extra $$. It's worth it. As the adage goes, you get what you pay for. Thanks to Monster for another great product.
