Product Description
With the MONSTER AICYP iSplitter you can hook up two pairs of headphones to your iPod, laptop or personal DVD player to share music and movies practically anywhere!
Amazon.com
In the car, on a plane, at lunch, or in the library, you'll always be ready to listen to favorite music and movies with a companion using Monster Cable's trusty iSplitter minijack "Y" adapter. The device features a single male .125-inch stereo analog jack that splits its signal to feed two female .125-inch stereo analog outputs suitable for two sets of headphones or, if you want, a single headphone as well as a stereo minijack interconnect (not included) for passing audio to your PC or other device. Specially designed to accommodate Apple iPods, iBooks, and Powerbooks, the durable adapter is gold-plated at both ends for maximal signal conductivity and minimal susceptibility to audio-degrading corrosion. And it's every bit as easy to use as it looks: just plug the male end of the iSplitter into the headphone jack on your iPod, iBook, Powerbook, or other entertainment device, then plug your headphones into the other end, and hit "play." What's in the Box
One iSplitter stereo minijack Y adapter, product data insert.

 I expected more from Monster October 12, 2008
U. Albert (Boise, ID)
I spent a little extra for this splitter after reading the reviews but after receiving it I am somewhat disappointed. Both input sockets on the adapter I received are really loose. When I plug a stereo mini-jack into either input, there isn't a reassuring 'click' when fully inserted.
Pulling them out takes almost no effort as I found out after moving some cables around behind my computer (I'm using them to connect two computers to a single set of speakers). They're so lose that it's easy to accidentally pull the plug out of the socket!
I've tried plugs from different headphones/cables and they all demonstrate this, so it's not due to the plug; the sockets are just too loose. I'm hoping I just got a defective unit and Monster will warranty it, but as it stands right now, I can't recommend this item.
UPDATE
I received an exchange from Monster and the replacement has more solid feeling sockets; plugs now "snap" into the sockets as I'd expect. The only thing is that they sent me a different model as a replacement (AICYP 200) which has volume controls and a switch. So while this review is for the AICYP (non-switched) model, I'll leave my original comments in place. I wish I could bump up my rating to 3 Stars, since Monster did provide excellent customer service and made it right in the end. But it doesn't look like I can change the star rating, after the fact.

Nice product that works well. No problems with volume or loss of sound quality. Happy with purchase.
A criticism August 1, 2008
Rob (New York City)
The diameter of the hub for the jack inserting into the ipod is large enough that it hits the protective casing that I leave my ipod in (Speck --black rubber); as a result, the slightest false movement causes the jack to fall out of the ipod. Basically it doesn't stay securely in place, leading to interruptions in music listening, etc.
Great Product April 7, 2008

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.
very convenient December 10, 2007
Albert Lewis (Motown, Mi (31-3rd))
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.
