Does anyone know of a good third-party product for adjusting headphone
volume when the headphones don't have a volume control (which most, sadly,
do not)? I record myself so I just need some passive, inline, thing. No
headphone box, etc. The out I have is fine, it's just that I'm not always
near it and you know what a hassle it is to have to move the mics, etc.,
just to get up and change the volume. I do remember some headphones used to
have inline sliders (not the knob on the headset). Radio Shack has a flimsy
(read: if you breathe on it will break) volume control (about the size and
shape of a lima bean) for Walkmans but it's 1/8" and something like 24-gauge
wire.

Methinks Koss had something, but I don't remember what.

It's the same little cheap thing that Radio Shack sells.

I don't have the specs right now, but I had to buy some headphones in a
hurry one day, and I found a pair of Philips (terrible headphones) which
had a minijack - jack adapter cable with a volume box. They were very
cheap, so you might think about buying a similar pair and only use the
adapter :-)

Sennheiser HZR6 or HZR62 is probably what you want.

You're having a laugh? $350???

Well, some folks think their Mackie means they don't need a Great River.
I don't see or hear it that way.

The Mission Control is not for those seeking the cheapest solution;
those who have purchased it and used it seem to appreciate its quality.
Life's like that sometimes.
