  So i have a pair of Razer Kraken Pros that I game with. The mic, at first, was crap. Then, I plugged the audio cable into the back of my computer. Its better now, but I had to unplug the 3.5mm plug for my speakers. Is there any good 3.5mm mic extension cables I can use so I can route the mic plug to the back of my computer while using the front headphone jack for the actual headphone speakers?

 

In case it helps to know, the Kraken has one 3.5mm plug that plugs into a headphone splitter.

If you're deterred by bad reviews on a cheap cable, buy a more expensive cable.

This could be unrelated, however, EVERY 3.5mm extension I have bought has been crap. It's always bad connectors in my experience.

 

Everything goes to my receiver anyway so I invested in RCA :)

Yeah, I've had the same problem. Guess this is kinda what OP was worried about...

Sorry for "Why you no Google?!" earlier @Demolishdude. Belkin usually makes sturdy products: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-PureAV-Mini-Stereo-Extension-Cable/dp/B0006N3EVS/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1380261977&sr=8-8&keywords=EXTENSION+AUDIO+CABLE

I've liked the monoprice cables I've bought in the past.

 

I go to Monoprice for cables, although I haven't tried their 3.5mm. The cables I do have from them are great.
