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 :)

I have only had this for two days and tried it out with a little trepidation after reading a very few negative reviews regarding sound- but the alternatives had even more negative reviews. Anyway, this impressed from the moment I opened the box. It is a solidly made little device. It does nothing to the sound - what you put in, you get back out - exactly what is required. There is no buzzing or hissing that some have reported, just clean sound. My PC is the sound source "IN" and my speakers and my headphones are the sound "OUT". The mute button is good if I get a phone call and need to stop the sound quickly. The switch switches cleanly and easily between my speakers and my headphones (my primary reason for getting the switch). I would say, as others have suggested, that the volume switch is not graduated as evenly as I would ideally like - but it turns the volume from off to full - the intermediate points on the switch do not have to be mathematically exact! So far, I can highly recommend it. 2026 UPDATE - In constant use, 2 years on, and still performing as per my original review.

Although all inputs say in and out, it wouldn't let me plug input and output on the back, I had to use the front and back ports, it works without no noticeable loss of audio, the only criticism I have is I wish the volume control was a bit more sensitive as it can go from off to a bit above what I want as it seems to lack the stages, so it seems 0 to 15% instead of being sentive to every increment. (I'm being fussy) I believe this device will work flawlessly for most people, great buy, very happy!

I bought it so my husband can plug both his speakers and headset into it and simply press a button to switch between the two.

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.

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.

Ok when set and left alone but noisy when adjusting volume and switches. Would not buy again

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.

works perfectly since over a year

Der Artikel erfüllt alle meine Anforderungen. Das sauber verarbeitete Metall Gehäuse ist nicht zu klein, verfügt über ein ausreichendes Eigengewicht und Gummifüße und ist damit gegen lästiges Verrutschen geschützt. Der Klang wird durch den Umschalter nicht beeinträchtigt. Störendes Brummen gibt es nicht. Zusätzliche Stromversorgung ist nicht erforderlich. Ein Audiokabel ist im Lieferumfang enthalten. Damit ist der Anschluss schnell und unkompliziert möglich.

Produkt bardzo dobrej jakości. Czysty dźwięk. Polecam.
