Audio Wire Question

[Beulah Land]

Does anyone if there is a wire that goes from 3.5mm to rca outs but instead of one set of rca outs it has 2 so that the headphones can be hooked to more than one device without having to unplug and plug into other. It’s these cables but just need 2 each of the red and white coming from 1 3.5. I tried typing it in google search in different ways but couldn’t find anything. Thanks.

So, a device to hook a pair of headphones to two devices? You'd need an active headphone amp unless you want to damage the headphone outs of both devices.

There are some relatively inexpensive headphone/line mixers that will do want you're looking for without damaging both devices.

Not sure what your budget is, but I have one of these that works fine for a "cheap" device:
"Douk Audio Mini Stereo 4 Channel Line Mixer Headphone Monitoring Club Live Studio Recording"

I use these all the time,

It will allow you to use 2 sets of headphones

I just mean where the 3.5 comes out of the headphones base(it’s a wireless headset with a base that hooks to whatever you want the sound to come from) that normally just goes to the rca that connects to source, in this case a dvd player. If I want to use those headphones for the tv, I then have to unplug those rca red/white and plug them into the cable box for the tv. I didn’t know if there was a way to maybe have 2 sets of those red/white at the end instead of one. It may be that device you linked is the only way to do that but I thought that maybe since it’s just a signal for the sound that it could be an easy find.

Because the tv does not have an audio out rca place so that I could just leave it in the tv no matter what is playing.

A picture of the headphone base would be helpful, that may actually be line level and not headphone level. The RCA/Phono jacks on your DVD player are going to be line level. And you should also not hook those to each other unless you want to damage the DVD player and whatever else you're hooking up.

I see. So then from there you would just need 2 sets of those cheap rca cables to run one to each device while the 3.5 connects to other side?

Whoops I mean plug rca from base to in out then other 2 sets run to devices

Yep. That device appears to have some active circuitry to project the two input devices. Mixed reviews on it though.
