ok, my missus bought me an amazing electronic drum kit for my b'day - and i just got hold of some Roland RH-200 headphones which in my opinion are the mutz nutz (but i spose they should be for the $$$)
anyway, i wan't to be able to plug my other set of headphones in also, but when i run it through the splitter setup, the quality is drastically reduced...
standard setup #1: RH-200 (3.5mm stereo /w 6.35mm supplied adapter) -> V-Drums - sound quality superb!
splitter setup #2: RH-200 (3.5mm) + Other Headphones (3.5mm) -> 2-1 splitter (3.5mm all round) -> aftermarket 3.5mm-6.35mm adapter -> V-Drums - sound quality pap!
the splitter is just a radioshack one and the aftermarket 3.5mm-6.35mm adapter was just one i found in a box somewhere, so the quality of these two components may not be up to much...
my question is, if i get a good quality (gold plated and all that jazz) twin 3.5mm - 6.35mm splitter, will the sound quality be what its supposed to be, or do you always loose quality by splitting?
EDIT: basically, will a good quality version of this (if i can find one) do the trick?
