LiNKFOR 3.5mm Audio Switch Bi-Directional Stereo Selector with Volume

Lovely simple little audio splitter. I use this in a simple studio monitoring setup to select audio output (from my computer) to either speakers or headphones. Before this one, I've had to replace lots of such switch boxes over the years. Some of them looked a lot cooler. However, this one actually works properly and keeps going. The volume switch is crystal clear although it is a little bit all-or-nothing. Satisfying push button for channel switch and another for mute. Never any crackle or pops. You can probably get cheaper versions of this, but honestly, why bother? - they're crap. Buy this one instead :)

A simple two-to-one 3.5mm audio switch in a nicely-engineered black box. Good solution for a simple physical switch between speakers and headphones with all essential features: button to switch between output 1 or 2, a mute button, and a volume knob. All these physical controls are fine. The included audio cable is a nice little extra and is of good quality. Note that this is a passive switch - it does not provide amplification for speakers or headphones. So you need to think how to use it best in your audio stream. In many use cases the passive on-unit volume dial won't be enough to compensate for the different volume output of, say, powered speakers and non-powered headphones. It can after all only cut out sound not boost it. In practise for cleanest sound it might be best to just leave the volume dial always at full and set headphone levels to that with the powered speakers at zero volume then turn up the powered speaker level at the speaker end when they are used. But in summary does what it says with a good audio performance.

Really cool piece of kit, unfortunately it had some background hum when I added my second PC. The way I fixed it was to buy a ZIOCOM Ground Loop Noise Isolator so just wanted to post to make folks aware they may need to do this. It would be nice if the device was able to ground the signal in some way.

did just the job i needed it for! I wanted to be able to use my PC speakers for both PC & iPad (play music while i work on the iPad) & be able to switch between the 2 when needed (for teams calls etc) instead of using my bluetooth speaker for the iPad & having to charge it daily! side note: I bought a splitter cable for the iPad that has both headphone & charger holes in so i can keep that charging whilst music is on! In summary the build appears solid, with no connection issues / audio drop & switches inputs perfectly. All in all great value for money!

Fast delivery via amazon prime, the LiNKFOR 3.5mm Stereo Audio Switcher - Bi-Directional 2-in-1-out & 1-in-2-out Selector with Volume Control & Mute Button for PC, Laptop, Phone, Speaker & Headphone works perfectly, is light weight, great value for the money, perfect switchabilaty, this unit does the job perfectly and if it has any background noise it must be very low as it doesn't interfere with sound at all. Brilliant.

Two audio mixers/interfaces - one set of speakers. Hmm... Using this little gizmo sorted my problem. Plug both mixers into the back of it using 3.5mm jacks and then one 3.5mm jack out of the front into the speakers. Sorted. Works great - first time. No problem. Has a built in volume control which is handy so I don't have to turn to the mixer. Sound quality is good - no discernible interference or reduction in audio quality when playing. Unit is robust - made from steel and has a solid quality about it. Happy purchase.

It works and is handy, but after about 6 months the audio jack fell off the PCB.

The product seems to be well made & sturdy. it comes with a 1m male to male 3.5mm aux lead with braided coating. I am reviewing the 1 to 2 / 2 to 1 version. I use the switcher to output one of two inputs (TV & music streamer) into the aux port of a radio. I find no difference in audio quality between going through the switcher & using a direct aux lead connection to each input device. I definitely can't hear any background hum / hiss from either input & I am quite fussy with things like that. I looked at other similar switches, but I went for this one due to the mainly positive reviews & the fact that it has its own volume slider button & mute button. The volume slider allows for fine tuning of the volume going into the output device & I have found that the switch works best with my radio at about 75%. The only thing on the switcher I would change would be the location of the input & output ports. They are located on opposite sides & I think that in terms of ergonomics, it would make more sense if they were either on the same side, or on adjacent sides at 90 degrees to each other. I had to buy some aux leads with "L" shaped plugs to connect up the switcher & make it look a bit neater.

works perfectly since over a year

I used this selector on a pair of headphones to listen to a Zoom meeting mix. I can listen to the mix at the mixer before going into Zoom and then I have an iPad hooked up as a Zoom end user for the other input. I can make adjustments on the mixer and switch back and forth. Note that Zoom also does noise reduction and processing in its software so I found that I needed to boost the level on the mixer to compensate for the Zoom processing. There are also adjustments that can be made within Zoom. So getting to hear the mix at different points is very helpful in producing a good Zoom meeting mix.
