Headphone cable, what do you do?

I hope it is not just me but none of the headphones I have owned over last few years have long enough cable to reach from my headphone amp to my normal listening, lounging seat.

At present I have been using a fairly cheap 20ft extension cable I purchased off eBay but upon reflection could this be degrading the sq?

Surely I am not the only one in this situation so my question is what do you do? Your solution?

How did Grado know if I had bought from an unauthorized dealer?
Grado dealers don't sell new product through the e-bay channel. That's not uncommon for premium products. You probably can't buy new ARC, or McIntosh, or Pass through e-bay, either.
Staying away from eBay is not a practical or sensible option in today’s age.
That's a personal choice. Frankly, I've only rarely purchased through e-bay.

So basically they are not willing to back up their dealers if sold online through ebay ...
But that isn't what they told you. Rather, the company said the dealer who sold it to you is not an authorized dealer:
there is nothing we can do as you purchased it from an unauthorized source. 
Grado has very good customer service, in my experience. And I think it's good practice for a manufacturer to support the dealers that support them.
