The pictures don't really show how thick it is, but its about the equivalent of 3 or 4 normal headphone cables in diameter (it's actually two stereo wires fused together, merging at the ends.)
I use it at my desk at work. Audio sounds great, no issues there. I just can't see why it needs to be so thick. I've used many other extension cables that were average thickness and they work just as well.
Monoprice usually has good quality at the best price. This is exactly that.

I had bought this without properly considering the different plugs/jacks involved. I initially thought that the cable was flawed because I got both left and right signal audio played on both channels but later realized that this was because this cable did not support TRRS plugs (anything from headsets that have a mic too). If you use a TRS plug, it works perfectly.Monoprice please update the description on all your cables to point out this caveat. You're getting tonnes of 1 and 2 star reviews on your 3.5mm cables (of other lengths) because I suspect that a lot of folks are making the same mistake I did and either damaging their equipment or suffering through a bad experience.

This is a decent cable--it certainly is sturdy!--but I think for my purposes (using it to connect my headphones to a guitar amp) it's thicker than it needs to be. As a result, it's own bulk sometimes causes it to wobble in the jack on my amp and, therefore, causes some distortion in the signal. Not a big deal, and hey, it didn't cost much.My computer at work is on the floor, so I use this to extend the headphone jack to the top of my desk, and I use a piece of tape to keep it there. My regular headphone cord is not long enough to reach down to the computer, so this is a god send. I have no issues with my regular headphones (Panasonic over ear), but on regular earphones (Apple, skullcandy, etc.), for some reason if I connect the all the way, the sound isn't loud enough. I actually have to plug those earphones in only halfway to get the full sound. No big deal, because I prefer my headphones anyway.It's a seriously sturdy cable that should last awhile. Given the mobile nature of it's use it will need to be.
