Monster iSplitter/MusicShare Mini Headphone Splitter

This review was originally published in the iLounge Holiday Buyers’ Guide 2005-2006. Please download the Buyers’ Guide for additional photographs.
We’re surprised at how often we find ourselves needing a way to connect two sets of headphones to an iPod at the same time, and when we do, this is always the add-on we turn to. Back when we first used iSplitter, it was more expensive than Macally’s IceDuo (now PodDuo), and it’s still larger, but Monster dropped the price and retained its gold-plated quality. The extended cable design will work with any model of iPod, and has done so reliably in all of our tests.
Note: iSplitter is now also sold by Monster as MusicShare.
A Note From the Editors of iLounge: Though all products and services reviewed by iLounge are "final," many companies now make changes to their offerings after publication of our reviews, which may or may not be reflected above. This iLounge article provides more information on this practice, known as revving.
