Sony RK-G138 Audio Connecting Cable for Headphone Extension (3 meters) Reviews

• Great Headphone/Speaker extension cable!

  
  By AOV6D4OWHS5XQ on 2006-10-23
  I had previously owned a different brand of headphone/speaker extension cable for my computer speaker system and it worked well for about 6 months. After that, the female connector started getting loose, and I would only hear sound coming out of the left channel unless I wiggled the connector around to 'fix' the problem. I would have to repeat this process almost every day, and it started to annoy me to no end.
  
  Alas, I came across this Sony brand extension cable, and I thought I'd give it shot.
  
  I was pleasantly surprised when I heard a 'click' noise when I connected my speakers to the extension cord, a very snug fit. It gave me the sense of ease I was looking for - I knew that I didn't have to worry about a bad connection again.
  
  So far, I've noticed better sound quality coming out of my speakers than before (most likely due to the fact my older extension cable was junk), and I have yet to worry about a bad connection/poor sound quality. It feels good to have my speaker system sounding right again.
  
  BOTTOM LINE - great solution for extending the distance for your headphones or computer speaker system! Gold plated connectors, 2.5mm to 6.3mm adapter, Sony-quality, 9.8', good stuff :)
  
  

• Perfect Solution

  The Sony extension cord for headphones works especially well and makes my husband happy when I'm watching movies late at night. This works with my computer, DVD player and stereo. This cord also works with the AKG headphones and the K240 version makes everything sound amazing. The cord is lightweight and the nine feet extension makes it much easier to enjoy music a little further from the source. Now I can sit on the other side of the room and watch a movie on my computer or enjoy late night movies without disturbing my husband.

• These Cables Work Great!

  I bought two of these cables, and at first I was using them with a splitter so I could hook up both speakers from a dual monitor system (speakers mounted on LDC monitors). I no longer have that setup so now I am using one to extend the reach of my microphone, so I don't have to climb behind the desk to plug it in. The other one I'm using between my iPod and my car, which has a built in AUX funtion. As for sound quality, everything seems to pass through them just fine. They are thick enough not to get pinched, but thin enough to be flexible. Overall I'd say these are some very handy cables to have around!
  
  

• I can't see how this gets 5 stars

  The first day I got this I thought it was great but the more you use it the more it gets tangled up. It works great and other than that it would get 1 more star and maybe 2 more but the cord is very thin. Being the nut I am and why I will never have a steady woman in my life I got out some electrical tape and solved the problem by taping an extra layer of insulation. Wala the problem is solved but the manufacture should have took this in consideration and made the insulation thicker and spared the consumer the heartache. I don't immediatly review things out of the box because I wait till I get my moneys worth but if I have to modify something it doesn't deserve 4-5 stars especially if it's being put only to standard use.
  
  

• Top notch sound quality

  My only suggestion on improvement is make the cord a bit thicker for protection against faying and for longevity.
  
  
  
• Delivers the Sound

  This is a very light weight cable so it is easy to manage and store. The overall quality appears to be very good and the socket end makes a secure contact. There is less crosstalk between channels compared to the spiral coil type of extension I have used. Lower crosstalk means better stereo imaging and detail.
  
  
• does what it should
  By A2O4W1TXRLPRXQ on 2008-04-05
  This cable does exactly what it says it should, the cable is a little thin but it doesn't effect the quality which is what really matters. It's very cheap compared to others and the main reason I got it was because it also came with the 1/4 inch adapter which I also needed. From a good company too, not some generic brand that you haven't heard of.
  
  
• nice cable
  By A23GGC5B9SOG8N on 2008-05-01
  The thickness of this cable is the same as the one that came with my Jabra headphones. I use this cable to extend the listening range. Very nice fit and sound quality at a relatively low price.
  
  
  
  
• Excellent product, good value.
  By AE1D98RAQ1TSK on 2008-09-04
  After originally purchasing a 6 ft "Cable to Go" and discovering it was garbage, I purchased the Sony extentsion cord. It works great. I use it at work to listen to music from my PC. The cord is long and flexible enough to allow me to move around while wearing my headphones. The connections are tight and the sound quality is not affected with use of this extension cord. This cord is a few more dollars than the "Cable to Go", but very much worth the money. I highly recommend this product.
  
  
• Sony RK-G138 Heaphone extension cord
  By A2H5LR3VHM0TIY on 2008-09-27
  I like the fact the cord is a little bit thinner than some other brands. I don't want a heavier thicker cord. I wish the plugs were smaller, so I gave it 4 stars.
