Two separate volume controls

My lady and I enjoy the same music and movies.  We often have to listen without disturbing those in the next room.  This has a separate volume adjustment for each listener and works great.

So far the speakers are working well, I'm getting excellent sound quality. My biggest problem is figuring out the volume control, pressing the up/down buttons make the computer think I'm switching on or off the Mute command.

This item works great when two want to hear the audio at the same time.  Sound is very good.

one speaker significantly louder than the other. No bass. Controls work when they want.

DISCLAIMER--I did not install with multiple sources.
I use "source 1" as my ON and "source 2" as my OFF.  WIth the "A" and "B", I control speakers in 2 different rooms. I love this switch--it met my needs without breaking my wallet.

The Koss VC20 Volume Control works very well with the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones. Great combination.....

When you press the volume buttons, it adjusts the volume settings on your computer though the system tray. However if your soundcard is too quiet or too loud (because Windows Vista/7 is stupid) you can't independantly adjust the volume on the speakers like you would normally be able to do.

I wouldn't buy these speakers again. I wanted speakers with independant volume control. Although the quality of these speakers are better than the built-in speakers of my computer, so it's not a total loss.

Comfortable, good sound, easy-to-use volume controls.

These are good but I needed another pair for my Roku with an in line volume control. These don't have that so I use them for my keyboard. I don't need the volume control for that purpose.

A good quality and comfortable headset. There is no inline volume control. I can live with that, but also there no microphone mute switch - which is a must for me. I know I can mute via software but that not good enough (for me).

I wound up adding a Koss volume control (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Koss-155954-VC20-Volume-Control/dp/B00001P4XH/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Koss 155954 VC20 Volume Control</a>&nbsp;and plugged that into the mic plug. It works well as a mute "switch".

What I wanted was a way to plug my headphones into my Samsung TV that only has a digital audio out. It converts the digital signal to analog well enough but you still need something to handle volume control. Not something I knew before buying the converter, but the TV I have doesn't control the volume levels on the digital audio out.

So to use headphones as I was intending, I'm going to have to route the sound through my laptop or I'll have to buy some other receiver that would probably convert the signal for me already.

Another side note that might not bother anyone else is that it also adds another red light into my field of vision.

I use this splitter to plug into my laptop, with one of the outputs going to my desktop speakers and one of them going to my headphones. Because of the mute function on the splitter, I can choose to listen only through my speaker or only through my headphones without having to fool with multiple plugs or mess with unbalanced jacks. (Yes, you have both sides unmuted so that sound comes out of both sources, but that doesn't make a lot of sense for my setup.) Additionally, the individual volume controls mean that I already have the volumes set just right individually for both the speakers and headphones, and I don't have to worry about accidentally being blasted away when I switch between the two. The sound quality is excellent, and the amount of hassle it saves me makes it well worth the money.

I can't say enough about this splitter. With someone in the bedroom next to ours, my wife and I often watch movies or TV shows later at night using headphones.
What makes these exceptional is the separate volume control on each side. My hearing isn't as good as hers, so it used to be difficult settling on a volume that worked well for both of us. That's no longer an issue since we bought these. They've worked perfectly so far. As such, it's easy to recommend them.

The volume control works great with my shop speakers. I can turn the volume when I am using my scroll saw and other machines.

There is no volume control button.  The backing for the batteries was cracked when received.  I wrote and informed seller about these problems and received no reply to solve the problem.  I would like a new control with a volume control button.  Otherwise, it worked ok but annoying not being able to control the volume.  I don't normally write reveiws but I am very unhappy with this product.

Since there is no volume knob on the speakers, the volume is directly linked to your computer's volume control.  The problem is that the minimum volume level is too loud.  If you want to play music or games when your spouse is sleeping or in your office without disturbing others, I don't recommend these.  When they're not completely off, they're definitely ON, with nothing in between.  Volume variability: IT'S IMPORTANT!
