Review on 🎧 Monoprice Audio Cable 3 Ft Black - Premium Stereo Male to 2 RCA Male 22AWG, Gold Plated by Eric Pavelko

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor portability of 3.5mm jacks: shaky; Sound cuts out without lateral force on the connector

I ordered two cables and they both had the same problem: wobbly and bad electrical connection to the socket . I've tried three different devices with the same result and all three work with a different cable with no problems. I have to apply a constant force perpendicular to the axis of the plug to hear both channels clearly. Since my right channel kept breaking off, I measured the diameter of the ring connector with a set of Mitutoyo calipers and compared it to the diameter of the two connectors on the cables, which work without any problems. The size of the connectors on these cables is 3.46mm, while the size of both working connectors is 3.52mm. Also, the cables are excellent and offer much better shielding than other cables I've used. Unfortunately this connector issue is a deal breaker for me so I will be returning both cables.

Pros
  • This cable is perfect to connect the output of your MP3 player or phone to your home audio system
Cons
  • Not sure
