Earphone Extensions Volume Control with Dial 3.5mm Headphone Earphone Extension Cord Headphone Extension Cable 26cm PChero Extension 3 Prong Plug Cable Earphone Headphone Cable Volume Control

Nothing fancy about these tables. Convenient length, not too long, proper thickness. The plug is narrow enough to fit through the headphone opening of most phone cases. Full volume is indeed full volume, and the minimum volume is fully off, unlike some cheaper brands. The left-right balance seems to stay correct at all ranges of volume. Another thing to check for is whether the cable is wired backwards, either by left-right or by polarity. Fortunately both of these cables were wired properly. And they come in a nice little tiny box.

Works as advertised. Compact adapter to give the extra volume control needed when the OS won't.

Excellent Volume adjustment.

I bought this to use with an Arcade1up Deluxe arcade cabinet. The lowest volume on the speakers was still just way too loud, so I inserted this on the 3.5mm jack on the machine where the speakers plugged in. Setting the volume on my arcade machine to 1, I played with the volume on the cable until it felt like it was loud enough without being inaudible. Now when I raise the volume on the cabinet louder it's more comfortable to listen to. This is a passive device so it will not boost your sound or make it louder as there is no power going into it. If anything you might notice your sound will not be as loud as it was without using this plug. But for me that was the point. Otherwise seems to work perfect so far. Quick Update: After playing with my arcade cabinet with this cable attached I noticed the sound a little off on some games. I narrowed it down to just the right speaker working. It had nothing to do with this cable, but instead the audio cable that comes included with the Arcade1up speakers. I didn't realize it, but they use a TRRS male plug and this cable is only TRS. So that's why the sound is forced to just the right speaker. I will try a TRRS plug and see if that solves the problem. Otherwise this plug is still working fine.

*Update* - Well one of these bit the dust. Not entirely without cause due to it getting snagged on a chair handle. Just completely stopped working after that. Down to one now. I will say they do get awfully crackly and need deoxit after an unusually short amount of time. A lot of bad reviews for this product, but there's not any alternatives I can find, at least that are this cheap. I needed a short male to female 3.5mm volume control to use with a little Bluetooth receiver, that I plug earbuds into, that I connect to my iPhone. For whatever reason the lowest volume I can set on the phone / Bluetooth doesn't get low enough (for me) at night, so that's where this thing comes in. It works fine, gets the volume down nice and low, connections feel fine, I don't notice any looseness, the volume wheel doesn't make any scratchy noises or anything, and the cable itself seems to introduce no extra noise. The one thing I see people complain about are bad connections where the wires go into the knob at the center of the cable. I agree that these points do not feel solid at all, and in fact could easily be moved around by hand right out of the box. I definitely can see how with any decent amount of stress these wires could rip out. My solution was to just brush a tiny bit of super glue around that connection area, on both sides, and now it feels solid. Yes, this should not have to be done, it's poor engineering, but for as cheap as this thing is, and due to the lack of alternatives, it is what it is. I'll knock a star off for that, but unless something else goes wrong these things seem fine to me. Edit: well the volume wheels got super scratchy after a couple months and the sound would cut out in one ear or the other. A little contact cleaner fixed it, but kind of annoying.
