Requesting some help with buying an audio extension. I think what I have is standard which is 3.5mm jack. It's what fits in all my devices. (ex: front of corsair 300r and back of mobos)

I just want something that works doesn't go off, or become intermittent regardless of how I plug it in well. And of course the best value.

1m or 3 ft length is good for my use.

A while back, I bought a low quality audio extension (intermittent signal and breaking material) (this one I have, I have to rotate it because it won't work when it should in some ''positions'')

I suggest whatever length you need with real big sturdy plugs (Maybe even metal), and a thick cord. 

 

DONT go cheap, they always break within weeks. Maybe even consider making your own (easy and fun)

Can you help me pick one out?

looks decent, but I can`t seem to find good stuff on those sites, isn`t there like an american audio-website? Or a website that works (unlike monoprice). non-american here

to game or not to game, that`s the question
