3.5mm Stereo Extension Lead – 3 Metres, Male Plug to Female Socket
This is an extension: it makes a 3.5 mm lead you already own 3 metres longer. One end is a normal male plug that goes into your device; the other is a female socket that your existing headphone or aux cable plugs into.
Key product details
- Male 3.5 mm plug at one end, female 3.5 mm socket at the other
- 3 metres (300 cm) – crosses a normal room, not just the gap behind the TV
- Shielded cable to keep hum out of the extended run
- Moulded plug and socket with strain relief
- Extends headphones, earbuds, an aux lead or powered speakers
- Fully passive – no power, no batteries, nothing to set up
About this item
Three metres is the length most people actually need. It reaches from a television to a sofa, or from a desk to a socket on the far wall, without leaving the loop of spare cable on the floor that a 5 m lead does.

Need plugs at both ends to connect two 3.5 mm sockets? See our 1.2 m male-to-male stereo aux cable instead. This is a different job from extending an existing lead.
Choose only what your setup needs. Linked items are sold separately.
What you can use it for
- Headphones from the television back to the sofa or an armchair
- An existing aux lead that falls short of a stereo, amp or powered speakers
- A desk or a wall-mounted screen down to a socket on the far side of the room
- Anything with a 3.5 mm plug – headphones, aux leads, powered speakers
Please read before buying
- This extends a lead you already have. Because one end is a socket, it will not connect two devices on its own – for that you want a plug-to-plug aux cable, which we also list.
- It is a 3-pole stereo extension. It will not pass microphone audio from a 4-pole TRRS headset.
- It is not an amplifier – it carries the signal, it does not boost it. On any long passive run, low-impedance headphones will sound their best.
Within that, it does one job properly: it puts three metres between you and the socket.
