🔌 Hosa MID 505 5-Pin Cable - Enhanced for Optimal Performance and Serviceability Review

Very nice and durable plugs. This product exudes quality. Buy this with the knowledge that you will be very satisfied with it.

These midi cables from Hosa are a great value purchase. Very strong connections. I ordered 2 x 5ft cables to connect my Roland A-800 Pro to a Roland Rubix 24 audio interface. Everything works fine. No strange signals/sounds/etc. I'm a particularly picky person when it comes to the quality of the things I buy. That being said, I would recommend these cables to anyone.

Now I'm having a hard time "fully considering" this since it's just a midi cable, but I'll say a few things. You don't have to look far to find a good midi cable. Cables, they are reliable and do the job. They're not flashy in any way, but who cares. The metal is more than strong enough, especially if it will be plugged into the mains most of the time. Cable, simpler with contacts.

This thing is built like a tank. Constructed of a thick metal shell, the connectors are smooth and bright. The rear ends are slightly outwardly tapered with shallow "steps" for easier gripping. Oh, the plugs are heavy. On tiered rigs, you want to avoid accidentally dropping any of these onto your gear below. It doesn't take much height to dent thin metal or crack a screen. Soft flex cable bends easily and looks great. The shield wire is soldered to the center pin of the connector - as it should
