Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great for built in volume controls and more

With a bunch of other cheap Chinese headphone splitters of dubious quality on the front page of the Revain results, it's nice to see one that actually works great. Also quite annoying because I can't even remember how I found it (checked that on the second page and it was the "related item"). Anyway, I tried Startech and it sucked, didn't work for my headset and it was terrible quality with an incredibly thin, limp and flexible cable. I have a pair of Plantronics Backbeat Pros and wanted to use them to hear the enemy. Steps in CSGO, as well as talking to my teammates at the same time. So I took a chance with Ugreen's product and damn it works. Not only does it work, but it works great with no issues or tweaks and is of great quality to download. It even looks good thanks to the sleek, brushed aluminum body, similar to the iPhone 6. My Backbeats comes with a TRRS cable with a built-in microphone and a play/volume button. I've read in many other reviews (particularly on other lower quality splitters) that this can be a problem, particularly due to the OMTP/CTIA mystery, but this gets more complicated when you consider that for example many Android phones (and possibly iPhones now?) support both via a "smart" headphone jack that automatically recognizes the inputs and wires everything together correctly. Well I think this splitter has that too, because when I use a multimeter and check the continuity of my standard backbeats cable, it seems to be the OMTP standard (pinout - left-right-mic-ground), which is obsolete and now less common. but the splitter works great with microphone and sound at the same time.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
