Cheap, long, replacement headphone cable.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a cheap, long, replacement 3.5mm cable assembly for a set of headphones. The headphones still work but the cable got munched by a vacuum cleaner.
I've seen some on the bay, but they're for in-ear phones.

Defo 3.5mm? Grado have a run of cable 6.5mm and not bad price

My bad, didn't check wordage before posting. What I'm after is a cable with a 3.5mm jack plug at one end which then bifurcates after 1.5m+ to repair a set of headphones with a mangled cable.

What make/model are the headphones?

Going by what you've said above, I'm going to hazard a guess that the cable is a dual entry cable, rather than a single entry?

It will be more difficult to find a suitable dual entry cable; particularly, if looking for a cable with bare wire ends. You may have to look at getting a cable for different headphones then cutting the connectors off that plug into the headphones. Such as this cable for Sennheiser HD600/650 headphones... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07X6LZ54C/ref=psdc_1591691031_t3_B07P7SPMPF

With a single entry, you can just buy a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and cut off one and pare back to the wires.

Nice call, bizarrely, they're a cheaper set of Sennheiser but have the soldered ends. I've had to re-solder the wire previously, so I may just go down this route and cut the connectors off.
Cheers.
