Default Stereo plug coverters 6.3mm to 3.5mm

I happen to have a quite decent pair of Sennheiser HD 25 SP headphones.
Unfortunately they have the larger 6.3mm plug which doesn't fit much these
days apart from older component stero systems.

Now converters from 3.5mm plugs to 6.3mm plugs work quite well because the
smaller plug fits inside the larger plug which fits into a big socket.

However converting the other way is not so good, as you have a large plug
into a large socket hanging off a small plug into a small socket.
I have tried several different converted plugs over the years but never
found a realy good one.

What would work much better would be a short extension with a 3.5mm plug and
a 6.3mm socket.
However Google is not being my friend and although I can find a lot of
converter plugs I cannot find a converter lead.

Before I consider the possibilities of making up one myself has anyone seeen
such a beast?

URLs welcome :-)
