The only way to know for sure what will matter to you is to do a blind A-B comparison between cheapos and the most esoteric you can afford. Make sure you can return what you do not choose.

Have someone else switch between pairs and you keep score and see if your ears are really hearing a difference. Make sure you listen for at least 3 minutes but make sure the switch is as quick as possible-- aural memory is very short!

Otherwise you will either fall prey to other people's conceptions or the "more expensive must be better" approach. And don't be surprised if you don't hear ANY difference between 1 meter cables.
