Surround Sound Splitter Cable

[mystify_YOU]

Hi,

I've noticed Turtle Beach do a Surround Sound Splitter Cable so that you can have your 5.1 speakers and 5.1 headphones connected at the same time (http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/cables.aspx).

I just wondered if you could already buy these in a different make, or is it turtle beach only?

Also, do you think it would affect the quality of the sound by using a splitter of this kind?

Thanks,

Simon
