Volbox inline audio volume control attenuator 3.5mm 1/8" aux

Just received thiis today and it works great hopefully it’ll last a while. It feels pretty solid. I used it on one of my older vintage short wave radios that the volume control was completely destroyed this works fine ,

This review is for "Volbox inline audio volume control attenuator 3.5mm 1/8" aux". I purchased this volume control to use with a few AM/FM radios that were designed in such a way that the volume was either muted or too loud. With the Volbox control set up inline between my headphones and the radio, I was able to bring the volume from the radio down to a much more appropriate level. The Volbox is very simple and effective. It's important to note that this little device does not make the audio louder than what is being output by the source - it's meant only for adjusting the volume to be as loud as or quieter than the source volume. The only complaint I have about it is that it feels a bit fragile, and I worry that eventually the 3.5mm jacks could come loose. But for now it works nicely.

Great for sticking in small spaces. Works great. I have several

It does exactly what I bought it for: smoothly regulate the volume of my headphones although the source (record player preamp) is a little too loud and cannot be regulated well. The volume knob feels good, smooth regulation, no scratching noises. Audio quality is not noticeably reduced even when testing with very good headphones. My only criticism: You have to press quite hard to insert the headphones and the connector cable into the jack. That seems to be a rather cheap component.

This product is not very complex, but thats exactly what you want. Simple, fewer failure points. It does not have anything super intricate inside [we checked, so you don't have to,] and is a very simple device. The durability feels quite good for something so cheap. Sound quality has not degraded, even with me changing input/output 4 times. (Soundbar: RCA -> Aux, Aux -> Volbox, Volbox: Aux -> RCA, RCA -> Subwoofer.) We would have preferred there to be an RCA version of this box, but with no discernable sound degradation despite 4 transmission changes, it is wonderful as is. Our subwoofer goes up to 11 (literally) and even at 3 it is shaking much of the room. We got this little device to add more fine tuned control over our sub volume. It works wonders. The dial feels very responsive and intuitive, and it has volume indicators at half point intervals, up to full 10. We are now able to keep our sub at 5.5, with the volbox set between 3.5 and 5 depending on media or game. Overall, this is a fantastic device, and I could not recommend it more. If your sub has too little fine control over its volume, or if you simply fancy having a dial to turn on your desk rather than the sub, get this Volbox. You won't regret it.

I wanted to control the volume of my THX PC-powered speakers close to where I sit, rather than reaching with my arm every time something plays too loud on YouTube or when I wanted to listen to my music louder. This is the perfect solution! It is tiny, requires the size of two postal stamps (if you remember what a stamp is), and it works well. I connected the input of the device to the output port from my PC, then connected the output of the device to the input of my powered speakers. I set the volume control of my powered speakers to 75% and I can control the sound coming out of my PC using this tiny gem!. I also ordered two 10 feet male-male 3.5mm audio cables so I can hide the cables, and be able to position the device wherever I want without distance restriction. In terms of sound quality: I don't hear any hiss or hum in the speakers when using the device. The volume control knob is smooth to rotate and the sound lever response is clear and sounds great. I absolutely recommend it.

I am IMPRESSED. A rarity these days. I was expecting to get another cheap feeling piece of junk. This volume control is SOLID. It turns very smoothly, with a bit of resistance like a good/old piece of stereo equipment. The jacks are really snug. They grip the connector very well. No slop or jiggle. Very positive feel when plugging or unplugging. It takes a bit of effort. My only knock is that I'm using this to control a pair of headphones and about the only bottom 1/3 of the control is usable. I knew that going in though. Headphones are a much lower impedance than a line level source. But with the smooth control, it's easy to dial in the right volume. The other plus is that the knob is held on with a set screw. I was able to mount the volume control then re-position the knob on the shaft so that I could easily see the level mark. BTW, I used a right-angle Startech aux cable for the input and it wraps around the body and gives it a nice look.

I'm using this as a hand controlled volume pedal for various effect pedals that I use with my synth. Works wonderfully. I really love the smoothness, the subtle amount of resistance it has while turning, and the small form factor. As I saw others mentioning, you can still hear a tiny, tiny bit of the sound on the lowest setting, but for my needs it doesn't really matter. The cuteness of this thing accommodates for that.
