Need recommendations for a high quality recessed male/male audio cable

I have an old (but perfectly functional) pair of RP-HC500 Panasonic headphones that is missing its original audio cable, as it has long ago broken. I've had a terrible time finding replacement cables at local stores and even online to fit the recessed jack. All the cables I had previously (and the adapter I have now) were very poor quality and would break very quickly causing one of the audio channels to stop working. I'm now fed up of buying trash cables and I want to get a nice braided one that won't break as easy, but I can't find any that have small plugs. Where might I be able to find such a cable, if it exists?

Thanks.

I don't know....

But whenever someone is having reliability issues with headphones a big light bulb in my head comes-on and says, "'Koss Lifetime Warranty".   

I'm not trying to "push" Koss...  The only Koss headphones I have are Porta Pros and my higher-end headphones are other brands.    But for folks that have had reliability issues, a lifetime warranty could be a big plus!

This one looks nice:

Just cut the female connector off and strip and solder into your existing headphones.
