I use the Behringer Powerplay PM1 to extend my monitor headphones cord and be able to adjust the volume at the same time while recording in my home studio.
From my audio interface I start with a stereo-jack-to-xlr adapter, then an XLR cable, then the PM1, and then my headphones.
Using an XLR cable to lay on the floor feels much better than having one of those thin audio headphones extention cords.
Since I have the PM1 I always keep the volume of the headphones output on my audio interface at 100% and use the knob on the PM1 to control the volume of my headphones.
When recording I clip the PM1 to my belt and use the knob on the PM1 to easily choose the volume I that best suits the recording. Even during takes you can reach for the knob and adjust the volume without having to look down.
I never purchased something for my home studio that was this inexpensive and gave me such satisfaction!

Easy control, great sound.
AVTECHUK 22.10.2017
I recently decided to put together a wired IEM system for live events. For many years I have used the Fisher version of this device and was interested in how these would compare. I decided to purchase 6 of these for my 6 channel headphone amp.
I bundled these with an ART headamp 6 pro.
The ART headamp 6 pro has 6 outputs along with 6 aux inputs (1 for each channel).
The PM1 requires the headphone amp to amplify the signal. I set my headphone amp volumes to just below full. This then gave the musicians full control of the volume using the PM1.
I decided to compare the PM1 against the Fisher alternative to see if there was any noticeable difference and all I can say is NO. The sound quality seemed the same.
The size again is very similar with the fisher being slightly longer.
The finish and feel of the PM1 is of a high quality. It feels durable and solid and the black finish makes if look sleek.
This is a product I will be highly recommending.

Very handy for Drummer(s)
Richard Drumt 04.03.2022
Since i am the drummer in our band, and i am not going anywhere during a gig (!), i'm using this to adjust the volume of the in-ear system the whole band is using.
Connected to a personal mixer, but the mixer is kind of unreachable during playing/drumming on stage, so if i need to adjust the (total) volume of my mix i can just reach in my side-pocket and adjust it.
It has a clip so you can attach it to your belt or pants.
The unit is stereo, just buy the right cable(s) with it!

Nicer than I was expecting
Steve E 25.03.2021
This is basically a volume control in a box, so not a lot to write about. It is small, light, made of metal so feels solid and is comfortable either attached to belt or in a pocket. I am using it with a Behringer 4-channel headphone amp. It does not discernibly change the sound from the headphone amp to my ears. Would happily buy again!

Vey handy little units
timoricien 03.02.2020
I own 6 of these sturdy little units and use them in my church band. We cannot afford expensive digital inear monitoring for the moment, so this is where the PM1 comes into play.. We send an XLR cable to each musician from the mixer AUXes. This gives each one a different mix.
Pros:
Very robust
Budget friendly alternative for In Ear Monitoring
Sound wise ok
Reliable
Cons:
If the band is like really loud, the sound can get really muddy if the mix is not done correctly

Very sturdy build quality. The fittings and controls will last a lot of use.
There’s not a lot to go wrong - it’s a volume control and it works!
