Amateur podcasters — this device will make your setup run more smoothly for only $10
Apple is cruelly trying to rip the headphone jack from us, but we're not buying it.
In addition to all the reasons that have already been brought up ad nauseam, one problem with the missing headphone jack is the inability to easily use a headphone splitter to share audio. For those of us fortunate to still have a jack, though — on our phones, computers, or audio equipment — this Belkin device is the Cadillac of headphone splitters.
The uses for this are numerous and obvious — more people can listen to what you're listening to without bothering people around you. Just plug the device into whatever you're listening to and everyone else can plug in their headphones. It's great for traveling, classrooms, or gaming where you want several people to listen to something but not the whole room.
It can also be used by amateur musicians, podcasters, and filmmakers who need to record multiple people on a single microphone. Everyone will be able to hear how they sound on mic, which is absolutely necessary in order to record audio that doesn't suck.
You can pick up the Belkin Rockstar audio splitter on Amazon now. It comes in five colors and is only $10. Stop fighting over headphone jacks and just be grateful you have one (or five.)
