I want to get the Audio Technica ATH-M50s but i have an Otterbox Commuter attached to my iPhone 5S so the cord won't fit. I thought about getting a headphone extension but I'm worried that the extension will affect the quality of the headphones. If you do not know the answer to this can you please recommend some cases that can fit the cord of the Audio Technica ATH-M50s. I need a case on my phone.
I am really sorry accidentally put this in the wrong category!
Answer
Extension cables of reasonable length
have no effect whatsoever
on the sound quality of headphones.
You'd have to string hundreds of feet of them together
before you could detect any degradation.

Does length of Phono Cables affect sound quality?
My computer and my surround-sound speakers are connected by one 3-metre headphone (3.5mm) jack-to-phono (RCA) cable and one 5 metre phono (RCA) extension cable (8 metres in total). I am hearing a slight fuzzy noise even when the computer isn't outputting any sound (the sound is not there when the 5 metre extension cable is removed).
Is this due to the length of the cables? Or is just the quality of the cable that affects this kind of thing?
If anyone knows of any brands which combat this 'fuzz' please recommend them to me.
Thanks

Is the "fuzz" a low frequency? Are you sure it goes away completely without the 5 M cable (crank up the volume on the surround sound with the computer muted)? If it doesn't, you probably have a ground problem where the computer's AC ground is connected to the surround amp which uses the AC neutral as it's "ground." This creates a 50 (or 60) Hz sound that occurs even when the computer is muted.
It's more costly to design and build an amp and its power supply to eliminate this problem, so most companies don't do that. Safety regulations (CE, UL, etc.) also play a part in this issue. You >might< be able to solve this by running a large diameter wire (small wire gauge), like the size of large Monster speaker wire (but less expensive stuff!) from the RCA grounds on the surround amp to the computer chassis. This type of problem is often a trial and error method of solution, since we don't know the circuit specifics. If you really want it gone, you might have to spend a lot more for a new surround amp.
