Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Capable but heavy.
Review: Does the job very nicely, but is heavy and tends to pull your 'phones out of position.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: More like 10 Feet
Review: I bought this extension cord solely because it claimed to be 20 feet long -- so I could listen to CDs while doing computer work.

The cord, plus the 5-foot cord on the headphones, would give me about 25 feet -- more than I needed for the distance.

However, this cord was so tightly spiraled that it stretched only about 10 feet before the plug pulled out -- useless for my purpose. I have been straightening it between the doorknobs on two doors off and on ever since I got it, but it still hasn't straightened out enough for me to use it.

The sound quality is good, but I don't need a headset when I'm in the living room with the stereo. Unless and until the doorknob caper works -- and I'm about to give up -- I wasted my money. Which means, BTW, I also wasted my money on the headset --which I bought solely because I could get a 20-ft extension cord.

I think the manufacturer should have been candid about the distance this cord actually will reach -- which is only about half the stated distance. Saying "up to 20 feet" is, IMO, an unreasonable exaggeration.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fulfills its purpose well
Review: I know others have commented that the cord is rather heavy, but the connection snaps very tight between the headphones and the extender, so you don't need to worry about them separating with a sudden movement. Great alternative to wireless headphones, and useful if you alternate an your computer or stereosystem between headphones and speakers ( it comes with a y connector, allowing you to plug two devices into one output source). My only objection is the price, but it's tough to find products out there like this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nice
Review: It is kinda heavy but great, its got plenty of adapters to do all sorts of stuff, such as plug in 2 headphones to the same spot and other stuff, kinda expensive but still the best buy for this kind of product.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: rarely works
Review: Most of the time sounds through this cord are much quiter than they sound when I hook the headphones up directly to the source. When it isn't so quiet (this cord is temperamental) odd noises are accentuated, and speech is garbled. I could of course just have a faulty one, and most might conduct sounds perfectly. I'm giving one star to my specific cord.
