Recommended quality brand for 3.5mm extension cord?

I am looking to get a 3.5mm Male to Female extension for my speakers. Is there any good brand for these kind of cords? As I heard that bad quality wires can ruin the quality of sound output. TIA! 🙂

That may be true, but it's a pretty standard item. You are going to lose some volume as length of cable increases. If this is a concern to you, I'd simply look for a reseller-offering -- maybe at C2G, Show-Me-Cables, etc. -- with gold-plated fittings. Otherwise, I'd say Radio Shack is as good as any, but they're over-priced.

There's certainly no need to go nuts and spend big bucks. They'd have to be really bad quality to noticeably affect the sound with anything but the most accurate/sensitive components. In general, the heavier the gauge of the wires in the cable, the better your results will be. Cable shielding never hurts. Monoprice has a pretty good Interwebs reputation for decent cables at reasonable prices.
