If you are looking for an unpowered audio splitter, the white and black color schemes of the Belkin Rockstar are on sale for $8.50 each at Amazon. It has one 3.5mm input and five 3.5mm outputs. This is not powered, so depending on what combination of headphones you connect to, the volume/sound may be affected. I believe the math necessary to figure it out can be found in physics books 🙂
