Two people can share the same music on headphones, but at different volume levels.

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010, Netcast 1178 

I now have guests at Gizneyland Studio to watch us record The Daily Giz Wiz every Saturday. But to avoid feedback as we record, everyone in the studio needs to be on headsets. I’ve asked people to bring their own headsets and we’re all hooked up to the same audio feed via splitters. But it’s created a problem. Everyone’s volume is determined by my volume. I wondered if there were splitters with individual volume controls. And they are! (Thank you Google.)  It’s from Griffin Technology and it’s called SmartShare.  SmartShare splits the audio from your device into 2 separate outputs, so each listener can enjoy their own set of headphones. It goes into any standard headphone jacks so it works with any iPod, or other headphone-capable devices. Each output jacks has it own slider volume control. If you use this device on powered headphones, the volume change is tiny, but on non powered headphones it goes from loud to almost off. They sell for about $15, but do a web search. I found one place charging a ridiculous $40.95. The list price is only $20!! They are two versions. You’ll need the Griffin SmartShare + Adapter for iPhones with the deep headphone jack. Otherwise the ordinary SmartShare works fine. Checking the Griffin site I see this product is now listed as “discontinued”, but it’s available all over the Internet. 

Here’s a place on Amazon that sells it for under $10. (I haven’t shopped here.)
