Well i am planning to replace my old 2metre AUX cable with a new one. I was going through Flipkart & Ebay & was surprised to see such a wide variation in the prices & no decent review in the net to actually say whether there is much difference between a 100rs & 500rs cable. So i decided to post it here so that the experts can provide some clarity on it. I will be using the cable to play music from my phone & lappie in my 2.1 stereo & would require a minimum 2m length. guys any idea?

I like this one,

Bandridge BAL3301 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm Stereo Audio Cable 1 m - Bandridge: Flipkart.com

The quality is more than enough for the price I paid.

Thanks for the reco...but the length is too short for my purpose. i need a minimum 2 m length. After browsing thru net i found these two to my liking...

To be honest with you, I have a cable I bought for 120 bucks from a local shop. I don't really find issues in the sound output. If you aren't going to use it with a high end amp and speakers, I would say you walk into your local electrical shop, and buy a cable of the required length. It's cheap enough that you wouldn't feel too bad if it goes bad in a few months.
