Solved my problem

"Powered" is the key word for this product. Which means no loss in signal. Have this connected from a Samsung TV into a Samsung sound bar and into and a Sennheiser RS 175 headphones. No loss in power of sound to either. One input and three output...nice.

SOLVED MY PROBLEM

I was looking to buy a new TV when I discovered that the newer TV's only have one audio out port and it's optical. On my older Samsung I had a sound plate hooked up to the optical port and then Sennheiser 160 headphones hooked to audio out jack and that worked. I love my headphones because i'm getting hard of hearing. While I couldn't use the old headphones because they don't have an optical option, I decided to purchase a new set of Sennheiser 175 headphones with optical connection and this splitter that another reviewer somewhere recommended to split the optical signal between the headphones and the soundplate so I didn't have to keep plugging and unplugging the various outputs into the optical port. I ordered it before buying a new TV to see if it would work and it worked beautifully on my current TV. I connected both the sound plate and the new headphones to this device and then the splitter to the TV and both worked. I left the speaker setting on the TV as TV speaker, instead of optical as others suggested because when I changed it to OPTICAL only the sound plate worked. I then lowered the TV volume to zero and both my sound plate and the headphones worked at the same time so that when my family was around they could hear the sound from the TV while i listened through my headphones. So now I'm going to go buy a new larger screen TV since I know this set up will work. This little splitter is worth it for only $21.00 plus the price of the connection cable - be sure to buy a cable to connect the devise to the TV, it is not provided but only $5 on Amazon. The worse case scenario would have been it wouldn't have worked and i'd have to buy a new HDMI sound bar for the new TV in order to use the optical port for the headphones. But it did work and saved me a bunch of money. Solved my problem and i couldn't be happier because I figured it out myself and it works!

A great amplifier/splitter Works Perfectly

This provides and excellent solution when you have a TOS output you need to amplify and split between the input to two or three devices. I have a 30 foot TOS cable (output) that I I needed to split between an amplifier and a TOS-to-RCA converter. I first tried a passive splitter (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076PJR57S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that introduced so much optical loss one of the two amplifiers inputs did not recognize the optical signal. This device solved the problem. :-) Two notes: 1) The TOS-to-RCA converter (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AWBA8U8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and this splitter are both powered by 5v bricks with 5.5 x 2.1 barrel jacks. Since I had a 2.5 USB power supply I purchased a pair of USB to barrel jack cables (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078YRHNVR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and eliminated both bricks, freed up two ac outlets 2) VERY IMPORTANT - there are customer reviews and complaints describing this device as a switch. It might be that the product has the wrong reviews. This is a splitter. All splitter takes the input signal and splits it to all three outlets simultaneously.

One optical input with two optical outputs works like a champ.

I had ordered a different type of splitter with the intent of being able to take the single optical output cable from my TV to a signal splitter that allowed me to have 2 optical outputs - one for my TV ears & - one for a Bose sound bar. Unfortunately that product did not work as expected. I therefore purchased this unit & it does the job perfectly with no loss of signal strength. You do however have to buy an optical cable to hook the splitter to the TV which is not a issue.

Works with sound bar and hearing aid streamer!

My TV only had 1 optic audio out port. Sound bar needed one, my hearing aid streamer for the TV needed one. This allowed me to split sound so both work at the same time.

Excellent soution for simultaneous splitting of Optical Sound

I have an LG TV with one optical out that is connected to my Yamaha soundbar. I wanted to simultaneously connect a new iSelector Bluetooth transmitter (for headphones) and my Yamaha soundbar so that they both worked at the same time. The J-Tech powered splitter (1 in and 3 out) solved the problem. Simply plug in the J-Tech's input to my LG optical out then plug in the ISelctor and the Yamaha soundbar into their respective out ports on the J-Tech. Plug in the J-Tech to give it power and you are done. It was easy to install and solved a problem of simultaneously transmitting sound to my Bluetooth transmitter to my headphones and to my Yamaha Soundbar. The sound quality is excellent. Installation took about a minute. Build quality is great and the unit is very light so it hangs from the back of my TV out of sight. I also now have one more optical port if I ever need it. I would highly recommend this unit if your problem is similar to mine.

Works great

Delivered promptly, easy set-up with very clear and precise instructions, works great. Since this is for a fixed installation, I recommend a powered unit (such as this one) rather than a non-powered unit. Apparently, the non-powered units split the input signal into two weaker output signals. The powered units (such as this one) add power to the signal, resulting in the input signal being split into multiple full-power output signals.

This one actually WORKS!

A few weeks ago, I purchased the one other splitter that Amazon sold (as well as all of the other online electronics retail stores I searched). The other splitter is sold under different brand names but it's the same exact device, so be warned. Anyway, I was at my wit's end. With a brand new TV and only one optical audio connection (seriously, TV designers?), I was constantly switching out the connections between my soundbar and my headphones. It was a pain in the butt, not to mention, I was concerned I would damage the connections over time. So in a last attempt to find a solution, and a whole lot of website hopping, I found this. I really didn't want another electrical item plugged in. In fact, I don't have room so I've had to purchase a larger surge protector. As well as another optical cable to go from the device to the TV because heaven forbid they provide even a 3' one. (Those add-on items make the companies money, don't ya know?) Whatever. It's worth it because now I can use my soundbar, my headphones, both at the same time if I so choose, and I don't have to mess around behind the tv with the connections. The sound is excellent. No loss of signal or quality. The connections are easy, just make sure you have another optical cord and room to plug in the AC adapter.

Mission Accomplished! Time to Relax!

Very easy to get right. All outputs as strong as the input. Using to connect Sennheiser RS-175 Headsets, Samsung Q80R Soundbar, and Vocopro SmartTVOke Karaoke machine to my Samsung Q90R 75" Smart TV. All devices function simultaneously with outstanding clarity! It took 3 tries to find an operational solution, but glad I kept trying. Highly recommend it for your solution too.

"Easy" is the word here...

I just bought a new smart TV, but I had no idea that there was no headphone or other output to drive my headphone charging station. When I contact the salesperson who sold me the new TV, I was informed that because my TV doesn't have Bluetooth that I would not be able to use my headphones and my soundbar at the same time. What??? After getting on Amazon and reading about the J-Tech optical splitter, I ordered one up, and I am delighted to report that it works as described: I now have three optical outputs and am using both the sound bar and my non-wireless headphones. The only issue I ran into was when I disabled the TV's internal speakers, the headphones wouldn't work. Once I turned the internal speakers back on, the headphones, soundbar, and internal speakers all work fine. I just turned down the volume on the internal speakers and use my soundbar. Buy this splitter if you have needs to similar to mine.
