well built good quality
Headphone extensions have caused my hours of problems in my studio over the years, cheap cables just aren't worth the money, if they're not cutting out its a loose connection and headphones are taped into the socket, noise or any number of other complaints. It was thoroughly refreshing to find these well priced extensions that actually met criteria. They have handy little latches to stop artists/musicians wandering off and pulling cans out of the socket, they are made well (none have broken as of yet) and best yet, if they do break, you can simply unscrew the end and repair it yourself in seconds, none of this moulded nonsense. The sound is clean and noise free, would and will buy again.

This is NOT a 3.5mm mini-jack extension
I don't know when people started labelling these 1/4" jacks as 'headphone jacks', but I must have missed the memo. Great cable, but not what I wanted.
You are FAR better to have a mini-jack or 3.5mm jack headphone extension cable, so that it will fit most headphone outputs. You can safely just use an adapter to step-it-up, if you come across a 1/4" socket.
But the opposite is not true - 1/4" to mini-jack step-down adapters can easily break. So this cable is pretty worthless unless you know you will only ever want to plug it into a 1/4" headphone socket.
So personally I would never have labelled this 1/4" jack as a 'headphone extension'. In fact, I don't think I've ever used a pair of headphones that have been fitted with a 1/4" jack.
Anyway, good cable, but ensure it is what you're looking for.

No more neck twisting (unless you want it)
Comes a time when you're building your home studio when you find yourself (and your teammates) struggling against distances and trying to do your best even though your neck is twisting in a not so comfortable way, comes a time when you realize the short lenght of your headphone cable forces you to look like Stephen Hawking. This is the time of the Headphone Extension Cable! Now, that is something sooner or later everybody has to get. And most of us doesn't require a stellar quality extension cable, the majority of the people just needs something which works fine and doesn't break. And, most of all, something which allows your neck to be straight vertical anytime you want. And that's it! 5 meters are enough for me, I use it while tracking relatively close to my audio interface. There is no signal issue, nothing like noise etc. The connectors are solid and the cable in general gives me the idea it will last long. Feels sturdy and reliable. It's good, a safe buy for sure.

Okay?
It certainly feels like an okay cable. The test of time remains to be seen.
Pros:
- Locking mechanism
Cons:
- None so far

Gets the job done
The cable is not collecting noise or hum by itself. It just works.
The problem is with jack socket. You see, right after I applied a little force to check how secure the locking mechanism is, the metal-ish chassis slid down the cable. There is absolutely nothing holding the chassis and plastic parts together as of right now. Apparently in my case the screw that is supposed to do that is a little bit too short.
The locking mechanism works though, can not say a bad word against it. The socket can be easily fixed, too, but it's a shame it's not done properly right out of the box.

Really sturdy
The build quality of the cable is great and the locking function makes it the absolute best one.
The only thing that unsatisfied me was that there’s no other length than 5m, 10 would have been perfect.

Extendend quality
Extension cables are available almost everywhere, of all sort and length, but this is a special one: at this price you get a good quality cable, robust, free of noise and with a locking feature on the female socket.
It seems obvious to me the effort of the designer to create a cable that looks and feels like a much more costly one. Considering the materials used and the good aesthetics, I think that he succeeded.

Simple but reliable
This is a solid headphone extension, with a concrete plugs on both sides. Quite heavy cable

Nice for home use
The cable part seems nice and sturdy, but the adapter part is little bit loose, so the headphones will move a bit when pulled and the signal might cut out in one of the channels. It's okay if the cable rests on place, but if the signal drops during a tracking or live situation, it's quite annoying.

I bought 2 of these leads, and while I have always found sssnake to be of good quality one of them didn't work. I didn't return because of the hassle and later bought a different brand. But the one that did work, still works. Studio use
