(5 out of 5) by Bill R. on Sep 14, 2009 (Greenwich, CT)Works fine, seems to be as well made as you are going to get in a cheap consumer electronics accessory. Ordered on Friday, arrived on Monday - can't beat that for service.
Stopped working after 2 months
(1 out of 5) by N. Hacker on Aug 24, 2009 (Dallas, TX)Ok while it lasted. However this cord stopped working after two months. Save your money -- this is junk.
Great, while they lasted (one year)
(3 out of 5) by E. Canizales on Jun 28, 2009 (Kyle, Texas USA)PROS:
I noticed no difference in audio quality before and after using this extension cable, so that's good. The cable was perfect for watching movies on my TV without disrupting others, as well as for late night gaming sessions.
CONS:
After about 1 year of average use (about 3-4 times a week for about 2-3 hours each time used), the cord fails to deliver sound to one ear. I tried multiple headsets/earphones, but the same side will not receive sound when used with the extension. After very carefully halfway inserting the headphone jack into the female end of this extension cable, sound delivers in both ears. Only after doing that was I able to get sound on both ears. Even then, sound quality was noticeably diminished.
CONCLUSION:
If you're not going to be moving the cable around much or inserting/removing headphones from the jacks frequently, then I suggest you get these. Otherwise, I'd advise you get an extension cable with a sturdier build. I think my problem may have been caused by inserting/re-inserting headphone jacks into the female end of the cable. I should add that I take pretty well care of my belongings, so I don't think I'm at fault for the damage.
SIDENOTE:
I purchased two 6-foot Belkin audio extension cables from Newegg to replace my damaged extension cable. Hopefully those will last longer than this one did.

Works for Me

Must Have For Long Distance TV Viewing
(5 out of 5) by LG on May 18, 2008 (Arkansas USA)I live in a Senior apartment complex that has a strict curfew on noise. No one is allowed to play their TV's or stereo's after 9 pm. So I knew I had to resort to headphone listening. My recliner is a good distance away from my TV and my headphones did not extend far enough. I bought this and now I relax in my recliner and listen to my TV as loud as I want and as late as I want:) It works great!
