Mini Headphone Splitter/Switch

maurice4748 — Wed, 30 Apr 2014 09:15:46 GMT

I am looking for a compact two way mini headphone jack splitter that would allow me to direct audio output to one or the other sockets, probably via a switch. The reason I'm looking for this is I have a Mac Mini with only one mini jack for audio output. I would like to have my computer speaker system connected at the same time as my headphones and simply switch from one to the other. Anyone know of such a product or even a workaround?

This is the only Australian seller I could find (in Sydney), and although not switchable, it should do the task you require.

Also, if you have a Jaycar store nearby, they should carry them as well.

Thanks. I think that dongle would be ideal. There is a Jaycar nearby. I'll try there first. All the best.

Jaycar stock them as part number PA-3582 and they retail at $3.95 each. 🙂
