I bought the 5-meter variant of the cable, so I with my PC, TV, stereo system can connect my hi-fi headphones. When I had the direct comparison between the normal headphone cables and this 5m cable, I was very disappointed with the sound quality. The sound was a whole lot duller and quieter. For a party, or for the ignorant such a cable will be enough, but it is not enough for a long time from hi-lovers.
