I am looking for an good (3.5mm jack to socket) extension lead for my
headphones. All I have come up with so far is the cheapo couple of quid
ones or this Belkin one.

But after reading a few reviews on it people seem to be saying its not up
to much.


A *REVIEW* on a POXY 3.5mm jack lead ? 'Not up to much' in what respect. Is
it not wire ?

LMFAO !


Can anybody help me out, where can I find a fairly decent
extension lead? Gold plated connectors, OFC and 2m long is all I ask. )


OFC is irrelevant. So is the gold quite frankly in the context of miserable
3.5mm jacks. Gold looks pretty though which may be important to you.

Any headphone extension lead will work pretty much as well as any other one.

The biggest problem comes from the lousy 3.5mm jacks which tend to be
intermittent. Some sockets may be better in this respect, having stronger
contact pressure and larger contact area. Don't expect to see that specified
anywhere though.
