Review on 6 Pack of 5ft XLR Male to XLR Female Balanced Microphone Cables with Black Braided Jacket - Ideal for DMX Connections by Alvin Bonifacio

The brand of cables I've been using for years used the pandemic as an excuse to drive prices to outrageous levels, so it's time to find a new source Find. They are well priced by the latest standards. I can't tell from the pictures, but in person they don't look and feel cheap. The cable is a bit narrower and the signal wires inside are 24 gauge instead of the usual 16 gauge, but the shielding is fine and the soldering in the connectors looks good. The outer braid is smooth and taut but feels soft in the hand. These cables twist very easily with no odd twists or kinks using the standard thumb and forefinger method. They come with small hooks and loops. If they get lost, I end up replacing them with non-removable wrappers that stay on the cable. The XLR connectors fit snugly into their mating connectors. Solid black with a very light ring of color, just as light as the photos in the listing. They have a short rubber strain relief which seems to be enough to keep the wire from breaking. The back of the plastic clip has plenty of thread on the metal working end so they feel solid. You sound good. No issues with fading, crackling or other added noise or distortion. The sound system levels are right where they normally are. At one point I've had to fix every cable I've ever owned, high-end or not. The question is when, not if, so the question is how soon, which is too early to say. They were all good from the start and hopefully will be for a long time to come.
