This type is unsuitable for DJ use. The second (Often referred to as a DJ cable) splits the stereo output into two mono. This is the type of cable that you need. To find a suitable Y-cable, search Google for: 3.5 jack splitter to mono NOTE: Using the Y-splitter cable option will only give you mono sound. You will need a splitter cable to split the left/right channels - Please search Google for: 3.5 jack splitter to mono Once you have suitable sound card(s), you will then need to go into VirtualDJ CONFIG - Sound Settings and choose Outputs: Headphones and select the appropriate sound card(s). NOTE: In Home FREE, sound card options are limited. If you buy the Digital2Go controller, that is bundled with Virtual DJ LE Lite, it is NOT capable of doing what they claim it is capable of doing with a 'stereo splitter.' The ONLY way you can have/use a headphone cue (ie, one channel the audience is hearing, the other channel is through the headphones, only) is IF YOU UPGRADE!

Virtual Dj Headphone Splitter
The problem is, most laptops only have a single headphone output, which is insufficient for this purpose because you need two separate outputs - One for master output and another for your headphones. Some laptops may have two headphone sockets, but these are normally intended for headphone sharing and will output the same audio signal (They cannot normally be separated to work independently from each other.) NOTE: Make sure that you don't confuse the mic/line input socket also commonly found on most laptops as a second headphone output.
You will need to be able to separate the output to allow you to be able to pre-listen. The simplest and easiest way to do this is by using a Y-splitter cable. This simply splits the stereo headphone output into two mono left and right outputs. With the correct sound configuration in VirtualDJ, you can then plug your master output into one side and your headphones into the other and have pre-listening capabilities (Although only in mono.)
Please ensure that you purchase the correct type of Y-cable. There are two types commonly available. The first simply duplicates a stereo output into two stereo, allowing you to connect two pairs of headphones for two users to listen to the same music simultaneously. This type is unsuitable for DJ use. The second (Often referred to as a DJ cable) splits the stereo output into two mono. This is the type of cable that you need.
To find a suitable Y-cable, search Google for: 3.5 jack splitter to mono
NOTE: Using the Y-splitter cable option will only give you mono sound. For live performance, a dedicated multi-channel DJ sound card with either VirtualDJ Basic or the full VirtualDJ Pro is strongly recommended for best sound quality.
Sound Setup:
Plug your speakers into the left side of the splitter (Normally white) and your headphones into the right side (Normally red.)
Go to CONFIG -> Sound Setup in VirtualDJ.
If you are using VirtualDJ Home FREE or Broadcaster, choose the Y cable option.
If you are using the VirtualDJ Basic or the full VirtualDJ Pro, choose the following:
Inputs: None
Outputs: Headphones
Sound card: Mono Separated -> Choose your laptop's sound card in the drop-down list
Troubleshooting:
If you find that the sound from headphone pre-listening 'leaks' through to your master output or vice-versa, then this may be caused by audio enhancements enabled on your laptop's sound card, such as virtual surround.
While these enhancements can improve audio for general listening, they are unsuitable for DJ use and will prevent you from separating the left/right output.
To resolve the problem, make sure that any enhancements are disabled in your sound card's control panel.
As above, make sure that you also have the correct type of Y-splitter cable.
