🎧 Hosa CSS-110 1/4" TRS to 1/4" TRS Balanced Interconnect Cable - 10ft Length Review

The application I'm using this for isn't very demanding (connecting a footswitch to a home studio amp - there's a five foot to reduce cable clutter). So if you have a demanding audio broadcast, take it with a grain of salt, but I still wanted to write a review so people know two things. Firstly, if you're looking for a cheap and reliable TRS cable for a two button footswitch, this one is great. Second, the value for money seems great - I'm not sure I'd bother going to the next level of Hosa…

A year or two later I started noticing annoying static from my studio monitor connected with this cable. I was able to pinpoint the source of the problem and it was the cable. While still under warranty I contacted Hosa and a representative named Mark Lopez asked me to send it in for repair. You have to pay for S&H! This is a cheap cable, you can just buy a new one and pay shipping! Then what is the point of returning to repair? So I bought another brand, more expensive and no problem so far!

The cable is well constructed and I use it to connect a Behringer MX4000 line mixer to my home stereo receiver with a Y-cable terminated by a 1/4 " jack comes. to an RCA jack to convert balanced audio to unbalanced audio which ended up sounding worse than a direct RCA connection to start and then unbalanced back to balanced audio mm plug to RCA Female Y-cable and then a 1/4" to 3.5mm female adapter connected to Rolls Buzz Off to rebalance the signal and then improve the sound.
