I am also curious about why that does not work.

No Radio Shack here that I'm aware of. I will eventually find what I
need, to make an extension cable. Those little ear phones are intended
for use with cell phones, MP3/MP4 players, on airplanes; so the cables
are very short. My daughter has one that cost twice as much and the
cable on it is even shorter..... Much more comfortable than a headset
with a headband.....
