Hey Guys,

I tried out my earphones yesterday in the Front Panel Connecter on my case (TJ08-E) yesterday as the cable is a lot shorter than the one on my headset and I found that the sound quality through my cheap Sennheiser In Ears was so much better than the Corsair Vengeance 1300 Headset I usually use.

So now I'm looking at using the In Ears all the time and adding a cheap mic for comms during games.

But I wanted to know does it make a difference using the Audio Connectors on the motherboard directly to using the connector on the front of a case?

I have an 3.5mm Extension Cable but if it doesn't make a difference then I'd rather not have 4m of cable all over the room.

front panel audio ports are for Peripherals with short cables or for people who just want to use them then disconnect if not necessary. rear audio ports who are for Peripherals with long cables and keep them connected. there is no difference in sound quality between the two they are both the same.

Thanks for the reply. It might have been a bit of a stupid question but I thought I'd ask.
