where to buy good quality headphone extension cable


Recommended Posts

 I need a headphone extension cable, preferably 2m - 4m. I had no problem finding no frills extension cables, but I want something head-fi quality that won't effect sound quality.

 

best i could find was neutrix 3m for $25 shipped

you guys know of anything better value?

 

 

EDIT:

 

found this in JB for $13, sounds like a generic brand though, what do you guys think?

Wow, how do Grado do it for the price - they're killing me! If you still have no luck, let me know if I can do something custom for you. 

 

Oh and one thing. If you're looking to minimise degradation, then check the materials the terminations are made from. The majority of the cheaper ones will be brass which is an extremely poor conductor (and so will potentially negatively affect your sound quality).

The ebay one is a 6.3mm connector and the JB is a 3.5mm connector, which size do you actually need?

 

I've been looking at these ones for a while. Canare cable is properly professional quality cable and doesn't cost the earth.
