Title: Headphone extention cable
Post by: Rob D. on March 13, 2006, 03:15:40 PM

I went to my local Guitar Center looking to replace my 20' Hosa headphone extention (which is crap) and the only alternative to Hosa they had was Mogami and it was $59.00. It is however guarenteed for life but is this too much to spend on a headphone extension? Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!

I've had this for years and it sounds fine to my ears.

 Couldn't you buy the extention cable (made from Audio Technica cable) from Sound Professionals? For a 20 foot extention cable it would cost you $26. Might be something to look into. http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/category.cgi?item=SP-SPSC-1

I couldn't find 1/4" on the Sound Pros site (I forgot to mention 1/4", my bad)
