I forgot I purchased this some ~7 years ago when I was in high school. I found this in my room and then looked to see if I had any 3.5mm to RCA jacks lying around... which I did! So I plugged in this Belkin splitter into my desktop and then the speakers for my desktop (Infinity Reference 2000.4, got them for free \o/), into the splitter... and lastly, an RCA to 3.5mm for my TV audio out to the Belkin. :D
Works like a charm the only thing is that I have to set the volume a bit higher on my Panasonic receiver (which is straight from a CD speaker system I had years ago. I don't have any working stereo receivers so this is a (hopefully temporary) alternative.

Yeah I had a 2-way splitter like that, I feel like it definitely degrades quality, in addition to lowering the volume, but it is great for when you and a friend want to share music on one device.

Mine doesn't really affect quality so much as it just lowers the volume but that's not an issue for me. I never put my audio too loud.

I read that as 'Audi people' and was really confused for a minute.

As long as your output signal is good enough, those are fantastic.

the splitter itself shouldn't degrade quality at all. It only becomes a problem when you have things connected to it with relatively low impedances, or vastly different impedances. If you have too many things connected to it, the signal could get pulled down. Adding some sort of buffers in there might help, but thats going way beyond what you are trying to do.

an input impedances aren't too low.

Maybe it was my buddies cheap headphones, lol.
I just read up on it and you'll have a loss of gain for every headphone you add, by 3db.
