Well- it happened.
I was so carefull- but I still managed to lose the headphone extension cable for my Sony Eggo 'D66' headphones!
Now I'm having to resort to using the stupidly cumbersone ipod remote! This simply will not do!
Does anyone have any idea where i can get hold of a replacement cable? I'm in the UK, but anywhere online would be great!
Please!
cheers-

Oh man too bad. I almost lost mine too but thank God it didnt happen.
Try going to your local electronics/music store. They should have it. It is just a regular extension cable anyway.

Any 1/8" to 1/8" (female to male) cord should work (assuming the Eggo's just use the standard mini jack). Like username suggested, just go to a local electronics shop and get a new extension cord. They're not uncommon, I have several lying around the house here. In the US I would just say go to Radio Shack, but I'm not sure whether they exist in the UK.

Cool- Thanks guys - Will do.
Obviously the Sony version is very sleek and looks nice, I'm sure the replacement I find will be ugly by comparison- Just checked and Audiocubes stock them for $12, but shipping is $14! and I cant afford $26 for a tiny cable!

Dont buy it from audiocubes. Even if shipping was free, Im sure you can get them locally for half the price.
Yeah it looks sleek huh? Im sure you can find a nice replacement :) Sorry to hear about your dilemna and goodluck finding a nice replacement ext cable :)
By the way, I just want to ask. Remember that oblong-ish piece on the headband where the metal adjustment piece is attached to? If you take a look at the inner part, you will see that on the right piece it has 'dynamic stereo headphones' engraved on it. Can you check what it says on the left piece? Thanks!

Sure dude- It says 'PHILIPPINES' on the left piece...
Hope this helps- I dont think that anywhere in the UK is going to sel that Sony cable- But I'll look around.... $26! LOL!
