NEWCAREOptical Audio Splitter 1 in 3 Out,SPDIF Toslink Digital Optical Audio Cable Splitter 1x3 Support LPCM2.0 Doldy Digital & DTS 5.1 for Xbox,PS4,DVD,TV Box,Home Theatre, Receiver,Sound Bar

I needed an optical splitter to connect my television to a sound box and a Bluetooth headphone. The connections were easy to set up and upon doing so the splitter worked faultlessly.

I have a Samsung OLED (90C) that does actually have an analog audio output (3.5mm) but it is very noisy, producing lots of squelching from EM interference. This tv also has optical audio output and can even use USB DACs. I had settled on using a Schiit DAC to send audio from the TV to my soundbar, but periodically the tv wouldn't detect the DAC and would then switch back to internal speakers, which was frustrating. Other times, it would send a horrifying, loud screech to the DAC which was then passed to the soundbar. I couldn't use the optical output for my soundbar because that was going to my Sennheiser wireless tv headphones (TR185, which are awesome). However, optical still seemed to be the best output option on this tv in terms of reliability and signal quality. I guess there's also eARC, which in my experience is endlessly flaky, and I needed all my HDMI ports for other things.All of that is to say, this little box solved my issues. I power it from the usb port on the TV, and it splits the tv's optical output to the Sennhesier headphones and my soundbar. I can use both simultaneously if I want, sound quality is great, and everything stays in sync. Of course, this box won't help anyone wanting HDMI audio for Atmos or other cutting edge surround formats, but I'm limited to stereo through the headphones or soundbar, which I use for space-saving reasons, so in my case it's perfect. I tuck it back behind a shelf and its out of sight, out of mind. My only gripe is that it has no visible indicator that it's working; no LED or anything. But if you are getting sound, that means it's working. We'll see if it is made to last!

Used to split sound from TV to soundbar and old av receiver that had speakers hooked up to it. Needed usb power which was from the TV. Audio sounds great.

handy

Perfect to boost signal for my 75 ft run. Samsung TV would drop optical and switch to TV speaker but now optical sticks.

Works fine, good price. A couple of points that might not be obvious:1) the input is a normal toslink jack, the cable is not hardwired to the unit.2) the power supply is not included so you will need a USB charger supply (cable is included)

Works great and conversation with seller was excellent!

Perfect for what I needed
