Cables are cables, so it shouldn't really matter.

Though I've never heard of World of Data and they don't appear to have a website...

 

What about monoprice?

Hey guys, just need a few quick opinions on this, is it worth spending the extra £3 or should I just get the cheaper £5 extension cable? It'll be running from my PC to my earphones I use for gaming, watching YouTube etc. Here they are:

I'd get the nicer cable honestly, but mainly for the fact that the cheap cables seems quite bulky around the connecter, and that can get in the way of connections depending on how tight is it around the socket.

Well this isn't >really< true. Cables are much more than cables, especially shielding plays a big role in audio cables. Plug and socket quality also plays a big role (I should probably clarify that we're not talking AudioQuest Diamond kind of money big role here).

Yeah that's why "shouldn't" was italicized.

 

But for his use, almost any decent cable should work.
