Using Hyperx Cloud extension cable for DT770 Pro?

[tigerx95]

So I'm about to buy the DT770 Pro 80 ohm version. I noticed that it has a 3meter long cable, which is maybe 30cm too short if I want to lay on my couch and watch some TV with my headphones.

I have a hyperx cloud laying around, and this one has a 2.1m extension cable, as in the top of this picture:

 

I'm sure I will be able to use that, but what about degrading sound quality? Will it be noticable or not?

 

Thanks

Yes, just make sure the side are you plugging in, it the same side as the extension.

 

Unless you live in a radio/cell tower, you won't have any degrading sound quality or noise.

I don't think you will notice it at all. The gauge of the wire is a bigger factor. Also if you are really worried you can buy a portable headphone amp, but you should be just fine don't worry about it. Just make sure you have a good solid connection at each point.

Allright, thanks!

Can anyone care to explain though how this is possible? Why is it, that a pretty damn decent pair of headphones like this, will sound just as good when plugged into a cheap extension cable that probably won't even cost €5?

Because even a shit cable still transfers like 99% of the signal

The money and expensive components are sitting on you head. The cord is just supplies power and audio signal. The restriction is the is the 3.5mm jack and the thickness of the cable. However its not that much.

Alright fair enough, I was just wondering

Ordering my DT770's today, hope they are worth it

gold plated connector and fancy cables are a waste of money, when it comes to audio, tv's, and other home electronics
