KabelDirekt – 2.0m – Headphone Extension Lead Cable, 3.5mm connectors (aux audio cable, male jack plug/female jack, practically break-proof metal casing, perfect for headphones, black)

Es duradero y super práctico. Lo uso para conectar mi computadora de escritorio a mi sistema de sonido que se encuentra en mi sala y suena excelente.

Excellent quality and good looking too.

This is just a basic, inexpensive cable, not made to survive a road show working environment, but for the middle ground, home studio environment, it is competently manufactured and feels like it ought to last a long time. I doubt the gold colored metal is actually gold plated, but is probably using some kind of composite designed to resist corrosion and maintain conductivity. The signal quality is perfect over a 25' length. -And in fact, I got this cable because it is also less common to find such long cable runs in the $10 price range. I didn't test for it's ability to shield against EM noise, but I can say that I've got mine strung through a bundle of other cables, both data and power, and I don't notice any noise as a result. -Though, if you're doing anything more than plugging in headphones, you might be better served looking at cables specifically designed with shielding in mind.

Audio cables are probably the most misunderstood, misrepresented and hotly debated segment of the audio industry. You can pay $1 or $1000 for a 3 ft RCA cable or 3.5mm connector, and there is a supplier willing to provide you with a cable no matter what you want to pay. So how much do you NEED to pay? At what point do the diminishing returns kick in, and you only get small to no improvement in sound for the incremental dollars you spend? What is the sweet spot? Only you can answer that question…. Everyone’s needs are different, as are everyone’s ears. Plus, everyone’s gear is different, as everyone has a different budget and different level of audio gear. I personally own and try cables of different levels – I own these Kabeldirekt, also own Monoprice, Blue Jeans, Monster, and other brands. There is a level of cost I won’t cross for my own personal budget, in fact the Blue Jeans cables I own are the upper end for me, and sometimes still feel I paid too much. Again, everyone's needs are different, some spend a lot more on cables than Blue Jeans, some think it is more than you need. After buying and trying Blue Jeans, I started looking for another brand to try that was well made, but cheaper. I was setting up an HT for my sons’ and for my woodshop, and needed something that struck the price to value ratio nicely. I did not want to pay a fortune, but wanted something a little better than the lower end Monoprice cables. For my money, these Kabeldirekt have hit the spot nicely. I have purchased varying lengths of these cables, and different types. I have the RCA in 3, 6 and 10 feet, plus different configurations of these 3.5mm cables. I like a lot of things about these 3.5mm cables – they have an oxygen free copper core, they are shielded, and they are flexible. They also have reinforced, well-constructed ends and connectors, and don’t fit so tight that you have to pull them off with excessive force. They just look and feel like a good cable. The 3.5mm is my favorite Kabeldirekt cable - I have others from Ugreen, Monoprice and no-name brands and the Kabeldirekt cable is thickest, built the best of all. The connectors are tight and solid, and well made how they attach to the cable. I use these for many applications, including as an extension for my Senn HD600 and Beyer DT 800 Headphones, and to hook up my Senn RS185 wireless headphone base to my AVR. But the real test – how do they perform? Well, this is the subjective part of cable shopping, and where everyone has a different opinion. My opinion is these perform well for the money. My main theater room has a Denon 7200wa and a Parasound 2125 amp, with Klipsch RP center, mains and surrounds. My shop has a Denon 4806 with Definitive CLR 2002 center, and SM 450 mains and 350 surrounds. My sons’ HT has a Denon 3300W with Def Tech BP 8B, CLR 2002 center. In all cases, and all configurations, I am happy with the performance of these cables.. I am completely satisfied with the sound these deliver. Bottom line is my system(s) / HT setups are of the “mid-fi” category, and these cables perform well in my opinion for this level. You could spend less, and you could spend more the choice is yours. For me, the $10 range for 3.5mm cables is good enough, and these are a well made cable for that price. Recommended. Thanks for reading.

The build quality feels premium with the metal casing, and it doesn’t tangle easily. Sound comes through crystal clear with no static or distortion, even at higher volumes. The 10ft length is perfect for giving extra room to move around without being tethered too close to the device. It feels solid and durable, and the connectors fit snugly without slipping. Definitely a reliable extension cable that I’d recommend.
