Question: This might be a dumb question, but is the volume control on the male or female side?
Document: My Emerson TV does not have a headphone jack, so I adapted the Audio out to my earphones, but I could not control the volume, this extension with volume control gives me ability to control the volume. The volume switch is located at the end near the female end and the male end plugs into my audio out adapter.
This volume control/adapter arrived promptly as advertized and works well with my TV headphone output where I have added an in-line amplitifer. The long cable helps keep it off to the side of the bed.
I wouldn't waste my money on this again as its performance is minimal and poor. The volume adjustment "wheel" makes poor contact and takes multiple "turns" to get stereo sound. Usually only one speaker side works until it finally kicks in. The control box is simple cheep in quality. I will say it came packaged well and shipped well but that is all I can recommend on this product.
The volume control  switch is to far down on wire. It needs to be a lot  closer. That is all. Good day.
does what i want it toi use it at work as the radio is further away than i like to the volume control worked out great
The extension cord works good. The only inconvenience is too small volume control for my fingers and it is not easy to manipulate.
Purchased this item only a month ago, and now the volume control feature is almost useless. Can not recommend purchase.
it allows me to control, the volume on a Samsung LED TV. Also, adds ten feet of length to my headphones.
The volume control works as expected. The sound comes clear to the headphones. The wire is supple and extends nicely between the TV and headphone.
This product connects to your headphone jack to extend it. Includes a volume control with mono/stereo setting. Works great if you need to be plugged in at your desk and move around
Answer: The volume is closet to the female side.
