Review on CESS Female Socket Switch 10 by Ryo Flora

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Didn't work as expected.

Installed two TVs that only had internal speakers, tried two different units and encountered the same problem. They are used to switch off the internal contact (loudspeaker) when the plug is plugged in. The metal used is too light or not properly heat treated. As soon as you insert the connector, the U-shaped metal element flexes, so that when the connector is removed, this element no longer makes contact with the contact at the bottom of the U (the contact for the internal speaker). This is the same design as the 1/4 inch plug which is larger and which I used before. The metal is thicker and wider, and I suspect the metal doesn't fatigue as quickly. I use them to connect external speakers. I've decided to go back to the internal speakers, I'll have to go back to the TV and replace them. I would suggest going with a different design or at least a different manufacturer.

Pros
  • Accessories and consumables
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
