Four conductor: 15 foot (450cm) extension cable terminated with a 3.5mm plug and a 3.5mm jack.
The cables are constructed from the same high quality super annealed copper wire as the X-Series headphone cables, with braided sheathing. For longer lengths cables may be piggybacked up to 3 cables. Grado guarantees no degradation of sonic quality with Grado headphones while using their extension cable.
Customer Reviews
The cable is much longer than needed, but it is not available in various lengths. Because of the length, it tends to curl and crimp a little, causing the sound to be interrupted. When I unwind and keep the cable complete straight, the sound is quite good.
Excellent product!
This has worked rather well for me thus far. I especially like the material that the cord is covered with ("braided sheathing," as Mr. Mark referred to it in the previous review, I believe). It seems more capable of withstanding the test of time.
The Mini-Extension Cable, with 3.5mm plug and jack, actually serves for both ¼-inch and 3.5mm connections, when also using the detachable ¼-inch jack from, say, the Grado SRS80x headphones (which is what I have). The non-removable end of the phones' cable (that the removable ¼-inch plugs to) is a 3.5mm jack, so I connect the Mini-Exttension Cable to that and can plug the extension plus the SR80x's ¼-inch jack into my CD player's or my amp's ¼-inch phones plug, or remove the SR80x's ¼-inch jack and plug into my computer's headphones connector. Either way, the extension cable gives me plenty or moving-around room in my listening space.
The braided sheathing seems pretty protective of the wiring. I find that, for storage, the cable likes figure-8 looping rather than spiral coiling - much easier and doesn't seem to bias the cable into any one-direction coiling memory.
