I've gone through 1 of these after using it for about a year. I've found that over time, the male connection deteriorates through regular use of it (unplugging it, turning it to fit it in to the audio jack, etc.). When that happens, you have to wiggle it to get sound out of it. I just buy a new one at that point. The price is so cheap it can't be beat. Plus, for me, it deteriorated after almost a year which isn't bad at all.

PROS: Cheap
Perfect weight for being attached to a pair of headphones

CONS: Over time the male connection has deteriorated through my use of it and I had to wiggle it to get sound out of it

The first cable arrived defective. Audio was intermittent, and you had to really tweak the connector to get a solid connection. It would have cost me more to return it to Monoprice than it would to just order a new one. I emailed customer service and mentioned this to them, and they shipped me a replacement at no charge, and I didnt have to return the defective cable, either. So, a bad experience made better by good customer service. The replacement cable works fine.

I too purchased this cable and it came defective as well. It worked a couple of times and then it quit. I tried wiggling it and turning it but it's useless trying to fix it. I'm really surprised that monoprice still sells these cables knowing that they are defective.

Worked at first... then i moved the cable a little and now it doesnt.

after enough tweaking in an attempt to get sound through L and R channels (or sound at all), my sound card got shorted.

what garbage.. i cant believe it ruined my sound card!

Works as intended. Good way to plug headset into PC speakers on top of desk, but extend the mic jack to the back of your PC's sound card.

This cable lets me connect my short-cabled headphones into a tower monitor on the floor without getting my ears yanked if I move too far away. It makes a satisfying click when the headphones are inserted.

PROS: Price, functions well, fits perfectly.

Required that the plug be jiggled around to make proper connection - both ends. Tried it on several pieces of equipment and all failed to work properly. Very poor quality. In the end I tossed it in the trash. Replaced it with an inexpensive cable from a local store which works fine.

PROS: price

CONS: Poor connectivity. Cable too stiff.

Great price and it worked fine initially, but after a few months of light use it would only output one channel of sound. Soon therafter it failed completely. No sound at all.

Cannot plug 3.5mm headphone cable into this extension. Tried with several sets of headphones. Total garbage.

PROS: It was cheap

CONS: It doesn't work.

Like the title says, a nice cheap affordable solution for a extension cable for if you need that extra cable length sometimes. Good build quality and price. I definitely recommend.
