I bought this in a bind at the airport so I overpaid a bit, but it was highly worth it. I used it with my wife to watch a movie we rented on the plane and the individual volume controls were awesome because the 2 different headsets we use greatly vary in the amount of volume they output.
The only knock I would have on this product is the price, but I see today that Amazon has "See price in cart" Price of $15 for it which makes it much more easy to swallow.
Also, as with many Monster products, the cabling is made out of durable material.

I purchased this splitter at PDX ($20). I've been looking for awhile for something that offered volume control... and was originally going to settle for a pair of earbuds that did, and then set the volume on my computer/mp3 player high enough for the weaker pair. The sales guy warned me away from the cheaper splitter, claiming there'd be a lot of hiss. The volume control "slide" controls are effective and easy to use. The build quality appears to be very good/rugged. The splitter and spare Skull Candy Ink'd earbud fit in a repurposed Altoids can. Bottom line:
- Passes through audio signal very well
- Efficient enough to drive two earphones (one good, one crappy) with my computer set at 50% volume (saves battery)
- Ability for *each* individual to set the volume to *their own* preference themself

Does okay, but not great., Mar 27 2010

For what it does, this device performs okay. Volume control is not very good. Goes from mute to very loud. Anything in between is less than stellar, as one of the headphone speakers mutes if you adjust to mid range.
