1.5m 2.5mm Stereo Plug to 3.5mm Stereo Plug Audio Cable

Do not recommend for use with headphones

I bought this to use with my headphones and my experience has been horrible. First of all, since the casing around the cable ends are so thick, it is hard to plug into a laptop with a case. However, even if it is plugged in properly, it is generally a miserable experience. It has frequent problems with static electricity which can make it unbearable to use with headphones at times. Additionally, the cable is not secure while plugged in, making it susceptible to easily disconnecting. In the month that I've used it, I have already noticed the worsening disparity in audio levels between the left and right channels of my headphones, where I will have to painstakingly twist the cable until it goes back to normal. I would maybe expect this if it were six months to a year old, not only just a month. It is completely unacceptable and I would never recommend it to anyone. Maybe it performs better when used for speakers rather than headphones?
