Great value cable - decent lifespan for the price

Originally purchased this to replace the stock cable on my AKG that started going bad after about 3 years, leaving me with one ear intermittently going out. Was initially just supposed to be temporary since I needed it ASAP and this had next day Prime shipping, and planned to only use it for a week or so until I could do some research and find a quality cable. Ended up having no complaints, eventually forgot about replacing it, and here I am 1 year and 9 months later before it started going bad (tinny sound and need to fumble with headphone end to clear it up).Very surprised this inexpensive cable lasted almost 2 years of pretty much daily use, with a lapel mic hanging off it adding a bit more stress to the connector. Decided to get a second one today when I noticed the same behavior happening again - I figure even if it only lasts a year and a half its still better value than spending three times as much as the original which lasted about 3 years (less than twice the lifespan for triple the price? Nah).Unrelated to the cable, I cant recommend AKG headphones enough - these K7xx Anniversary additions are still going strong three cables and 8 years later :).

Pros
  • Provides freedom of movement without reducing audio quality
Cons
  • May not be as easy to clean as other replacement cables
