I ordered the six foot versions of the cables because I needed them for my workbench and was too lazy to make my own. I tested each cable on my cable tester and they connected properly and passed the twist and bend test with no errors. I also ran the same test while listening to the mic and couldn't hear any crackling or audio breaks. The soldering looks pretty good on the ones I opened up, and the manufacturer put heat shrink tubing on the XLR connector's pins, a nice move. The connections look like Neutrik, but they aren't. They seem to mate well with connectors from other manufacturers. The cable is a low-noise GLS cable. It looks like a Canare Star Quad but looks like good old shielded mic cable. I don't know how they work if you run them over power lines or other noisy wires, but I think they'll do the job for me. Overall they seem like a good deal.
