Just bought some Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones primarily for use with both my iPhone and iMac. I've noticed that a little extra slack would be nice to provide more freedom of movement when using the headphones with the iMac, and it seemed like an extension cable would solve this and simultaneously add the connivence of plugging-in without 'reach-around' port groping, as well as to reduce the strain on the headphone cable sheathing by transferring the 180 degree bend from the headphones to the extension cable.
Had a look around monoprice.com, but didn't see any TRRS 3.5mm cabling. (I really like the mic on these, so a simple TRS stereo M/F extension won't cut it.) So I'm reaching out the gdgt community.
Do you know where to find such a cable, or better yet, where to find one at a reasonable cost? Perhaps you know of a different, maybe even more elegant solution to this problem that I haven't considered. Thank you for your help!

Update: found these at kvconnection: bit.ly/jFuz0K ($37)
and a cheaper looking ebay version: bit.ly/luCxux ($8)
