Revainrating 4 out of 5

Probably the best replacement you'll find for under $15

I bought this as a replacement for another cable I got on here that was much thinner and cheaper and broke in about a year. What I like about this one is how thick the braiding, and the fact that it is made out of some type of plastic, as a problem I often have is braided cables kinking and getting bent because the fabric tore and is contorting the cable. I don't see that hapenning with this one, but I do possibly see the strain relief, which is a spring, snapping off, but only time will tell.Another nice thing about this is that it comes with a screw on 1/4" connector, which is very nice to have if you have an audio interface or amp or something else that doesn't have a 3.5mm jack. Way nicer than the snap on adapters too since those can tend to just stay in the 1/4" jack while you pull the 3.5mm connector out of the adapter, and that doesn't happen with this.My biggest problem with this cable is the length. It is just slightly too short in my opinion. I think an extra 6-8" could have done a lot.

Pros
  • High-quality sound transmission ensures a pure and clear audio signal
Cons
  • The cable can cause the headphones to produce a lower volume
