Will an extension cord for my headphones affect the sound quality?

Mindscrape

I got new Bose headphones but the 6' extension cord is shorter than the 16' I'm used to. I googled extension cord quality, and some claim that quality counts. I also saw some really cheap cord extensions on eBay, but I was wondering if they would truly affect the sound quality if attached. Any comments/suggestions?

Answer
Well, if you're just using Bose headphones, honestly, the answer's a resounding no. They're mid-fi at best, and just don't have the fidelity for cabling run length and impedances to be critical issues. People fretting about cables are using *very* high quality headphones, and even then, whether using Cardas .et all helps is quite arguable. For you, any 3.5mm patch will suffice for your needs, even if it lacks gold plating and looks real thin. Seriously.

Also, the Bose noise canceling headset sounds pretty bad, Cosnipa. $69 Grado SR-60s whomp it, frankly, and they're not suitable for critical listening.
