The smaller the profile of the splitter, the less leverage there is when a
cord is pulled.
Having a splitter that has a long throw and 2 long wires connecting to the
earphone wires causes a large stresss on the receptacle.
Find a low profile splitter that has no wires.
Actually, I think that the physics of the thing would dictate that a
splitter that's nothing but a plug; as opposed to one with a couple of short
cords; would place more stress on the jack.

My DVD player has a second headphone jack, but I don't think I would use one
on the BP. I have used a splitter--I find
the one with no cord is the best, because it doesn't add a lot of extra
weight that can cause problems with the jack.
