Review on Enhanced 6ft Male to Male 3.5mm to XLR Cable for Optimal Connectivity by Cable Matters by Robby Fingaw

I originally returned this product as defective but I feel it just wasn't intended for my use case which is an iPhone stereo output running in mono -XLR has been converted for powered by Mackie SRM450 or JBL EON Power15. I wanted both stereo channels to be combined in one speaker. I bought the right product that works great. I encourage the shopkeeper to update the product description to ensure accuracy. The problem lies in the balanced and unbalanced wiring. This cable connects tip and ring to pin 2 of the XLR. This resulted in distortion when used with an iPhone or other 1/8 inch stereo source. The product I bought works great, has the following pin arrangement: Tip->2, R->3, S->1. It is a BALANCED XLR male and a 3.5mm TRS -Stereo cable. The tip and ring have continuity with pins 2 and 3 respectively. Rated 3/5 because the product description (and applicable usage) is misleading.
