This cable listed on Amazon is the Belkin F8V204-06-M 6-foot stereo extension cable with 3.5mm plug and jack. Belkin cables are generally high quality, have a warranty, and come in a Belkin blister pack with a label and UPC code. Many lower-quality audio cables have cheap conductor wires and weak wire connections at the terminals. This reduces the audio quality. And if you handle a cheap cable a lot, as when using it with a portable device, one or both channels will start cutting out after a while.
However, the Amazon Marketplace merchant who was selling this cable for the lowest price as of February 2011 was NOT shipping the listed Belkin cable. (This obviously may change if this seller drops the listing page.) This seller shipped me a lower-quality cable, without any packaging, which has no warranty. I have notified Amazon of this practice.
Anyone can now buy huge quantities of very inexpensive, but poor-quality electronic cables of all types from various Asian wholesalers. They come unpackaged in big cardboard boxes. So if an Amazon Marketplace seller is listing a much lower total price (including shipping) than Amazon for a brand-name product, beware that it may not be brand-name overstock on sale, but rather a lower-quality, different-brand product or even a no-name generic product. I have found this to be true multiple times and reported it to Amazon. Belkin 6ft Mini Stereo Extension 3.5mm Stereo Plug M/f
This cord does what it's suppose to do, extend your tiny cords to a whopping 6ft. I bought it for one of my portable speakers from altec that comes with a integrated 6 inch cord. It was quite short for what i'm needing it for so i decided to give this a shot. It works flawlessly after some time of testing. I highly recommend!!
I have read reviews on similar products and they told of terrible sound quality and the extension's jack being to big or to small, but I haven't encountered either problem with this product. This product does what it is supposed to do with very little to no sound quality loss.
I like to listen to movies with headphones so that I can hear everything without cranking up the volume. But I wear glasses when I watch a movie and find regular headphones uncomfortable with glasses on. Using this cable I am able to extend the cord of my ear buds to just the right length for movie watching/listening.
I purchased this originally to use for a headphone extender but found with my setup it would work better as a mic extension which it worked perfectly for. Everyone I talk to says they can hear me perfectly fine even tho I'm a mumbler. Also used has a headphone extender which seemed to work fine.
Kind of scared me at first, the sound was cutting in and out. I've now had this over 3 months and it works like a charm. I've read some bad reviews about some of belkin's ipod accessories, so I was somewhat wary. But it came through alright. - Stereo Extension - Extension Cable - Extension - Audio'
