thank you canada:

for this gift to the audio world. Can anybody help me with what this is good for?

yeap, for shitty headfones with the 90 degree bend, plugging into something where it would hit, thus rendering it useless

I thought about that, but this is not exactly thin so I can’t see it helping

It’s an extension for those cords that are 1/4" too short.

If It did not exist, you would have already found a use for one.

I can think of a use for it. You have something that you constantly plug and unplug. Install that adapter and now you wear out an easily replaceable .99 adapter instead of a difficult to replace jack on an expensive component.

Now I’m tempted to get one of these in fact, because the jack on my $40 xbox 360 wireless controller is starting to wear out from constantly plugging/unplugging the headset.
