How to use

Insert the single 3.5 mm male end of the adapter into the source device's 3.5 mm output. Connect one or two 3.5 mm plugs from headphones, speakers or auxiliary cables into the adapter's dual 3.5 mm sockets. Ensure plugs are fully seated to maintain optimal contact. Remove the adapter by gently pulling it from the source jack when finished; avoid twisting or excessive force to protect both the adapter and the device's jack.

Recommendations

For best performance, use short, high-quality patch cables and avoid subjecting the adapter to repeated heavy bending or tension. Remove debris from connectors and store the adapter in a dry place to reduce corrosion risk. Note that using two headphones from one output may reduce volume per listener depending on the source device's output power.
