 Pony up the extra dollar or two to get an extension cable that works August 31, 2006

I bought this cable a week or so ago so I could listen to music on my computer at work (most regular headphones don't have a cord long enough to reach all the way down to a computer tower under my desk and still allow any sort of comfort or flexibility of movement). And it. Is. Awful. There's only one thing I need a headphone extension cord to do, which is conduct sound from my computer to the set of headphones I plug in, and at this, it fails. I've tried two different sets of headphones and with both I run into problems maintaining the connection at the female end: if I move the cord even the tiniest bit, I lose half the sound. Suddenly only one headphone works, or the vocal track is gone, or there's no bass, and the quality is about on par with a tinny AM radio station on the mono speaker setting, and all the depth and any reason for wanting to listen to music is gone. Then I have to play with the connection, pressing the headphone jack in tightly, to get the sound to come back, and the second I put it down, I lose it again. Kinda frustrating.
I know it's a bit much to be ticked off over a $4 product, but shipping was another $5 or so, and the amount of frustration I've since experienced has made me want to at least warn other people so it doesn't happen to them. If you need a headphone extension cable, don't buy this one.

This worked fine, until my Chihuahua chewed it in half!

I've had this cable extender for 8 months and it works as advertised. I run it from my Yamaha receiver to a pair of cheapy Jensen headphones while a play GTA Liberty City Stories on my PS2. It works great and my wife is happy to have a quiet home again.

I bought this cable for the same reason as another reviewer on here; I needed a headphone extension to reach my computer tower under my desk at work. I'd say this product worked for about a month before the left speaker wire detached itself inside the plug boot. I could get sound out of it if I jiggled the wire in the hopes of making a connection, but that would always be temporary. I definitely suggest spending a few extra dollars and getting a quality extension cord.

This is exactly what I was looking for. The price was less than I expected to pay and quick delivery made the transaction easy.
