What would work much better would be a short extension with a 3.5mm plug

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?

My Sennheisers unplug at the headphone end - do yours?


Thanks - nothing like posting that you can't find something to aid you in
finding it immediately afterwards.
I found a Grado extension at as couple of places, including
https://www.beststuff.co.uk/.
More expensive than the cheapest I found but perhaps it is decent quality.

I don't think the cables unplug - I have a red (for right) and black (for
left) tag which fit into the body of the phones which could conceivably come
out with a sharp tug.
However without a very strong assurance that this was part of the design I
will not be attempting it ;-)

I bought these in a sale and I suspected that they were cheap because they
were the old model with the 6.3mm jack instead of the newer model with the
3.5mm jack.
However I have just checked and the SP and the SP II both seem to have 6.3mm
jacks.
So at under £30 they were something of a bargain!
