How to Share Audio Input and Output with a Friend


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

If you haven’t already picked up some kind of headphone splitter, I highly recommend you do soon. You never know when you’ll need it. You and a friend may need to listen to the same thing at the same time. You grab a little Y-connector, and you can both listen. That would be sharing audio output. But what about when you need to share audio input, as well? That’s where the simulTALK comes into play.

It allows you to split both the input and output signal. Say you’re on the phone, and have your headset on. Someone else has their headset on, as well. Just plug this little gadget in, and everyone can join in.

Each one of the outputs has its own independent volume control. You can adjust it however you need it so that both parties can hear perfectly. It comes with a variety of adapters, so that you can make the simulTALK work for you, no matter what situation you are in – or what gadget you need to use.

SimulTALK is a headset Y-splitter designed for cell phones, cordless phones and laptops. It allows two, or more, people to plug their headsets in together and be on the same call – simultaneously! Simply plug SimulTALK into the headset port on your phone, plug two headsets into SimulTALK, and you are instantly connected for a private and comfortable conversation.

If you’re thinking about getting some kind of splitter for your audio devices, I would definitely consider the simulTALK (which is patent pending!). This is one of those things you wish you had when you need it, but you never knew you needed it – and yeah. You didn’t know you couldn’t live without it until you finally have it!

Looks like it could come in handy. I’m considering getting one

The Sony WM-1 (the first player to bear the Walkman brand) had two headphone jacks (one in the position where it’s predecessor, the TCS-310—a recorder which shared some case parts—had a line input jack).

It came in handy on occasion. But they soon decided that most people didn’t care, and the feature disappeared (about the same time that the output was downgraded from about 100mW to about 10mW, after a lot stupid people damaged their hearing).

What Do You Think?
