I purchased this extension cord to listen to music from my PC at work. When I opened the package I discovered that the end that plugs into the PC was bent and the receiving end that the headphones plug into was slightly too large for a 3.5 mm input. The result was that my headphones kept disconnecting from the extension cord whenever I moved. Reading other reviews, this seems to be a common flaw in this product. Shipping back to the seller makes a more expensive purchase than buying the other extension cord available at Amazon. Save yourself time and money, buy the Maxell.

This is exactly as it is described. The cord was actually more sturdy and thicker than I expected - which is a nice bonus because they can get damaged sometimes. There was absolutely no sound degradation from this to my headphones - sounds great! Both ends are very sturdy and have a solid connection. This wasn't the cheapest extension (only one was cheaper) however, this one had MUCH better reviews. For the couple bucks I spent on it - it was money well spent. Highly recommended.
The connections, both at the plug and the jack, are not built to spec and are quite loose in all of the headphone jacks and headphones I've tried. Any movement of the cable causes the connection points to slip and slide, causing one or both channels to drop out or cause static to be heard.
Very disappointing and the cable is going into the garbage because it would cost more than I paid originally to return it.
The only reason i bought these cables were because of the price. I got these at exactly the same time i got my new headphones (Sennheiser HD-555) and when using these, there is a slightly noticable drop volume. If you are just looking for an extension and don't care too much about sound quality, these are great for the price, but if you want to keep the sound as clear as possible, invest in some higher quality cables
This cable does its job, unlike some 3.5mm M to F extension cables you buy only to find that only one side works. It worked on the first try and the cable is thick.
It was cheap, too! I bought it for $5.77 in early December 2007; now I see the price has dropped to $2.72.
The cable I received does not work properly. The left and right channels are crossed.
I noticed this problem when I was watching a movie on my computer, and after some trouble shooting, I discovered that the cable was the problem.
These cables have some serious problems. I bought four, and they all reverse the left and right channels. How is that even possible if they're mass produced? For people who care about the stereo image using headphones, that's not acceptable. You can always reverse your headphones or ear buds, but you shouldn't have to.
One of them also has intermittent sound in one channel if you move the cable around.
So they are not great cables. I get the impression that these are the ones that failed quality control at the factory so they're unloading them at cost. - Audio - Extension Cable - Cable - Headphones'
