You get what you pay for. I couldn't be happier with the look and feel of this cable. Produces great sound to my headphones. I love the metal spring added to the end of the 3.5mm connector end and I also love cables that use techflex. I can tell this cable will last a long time. I will update this review if the cable has wear and tear that's caused by normal usage. 5/5 would buy again! Edit: Cable is still in mint condition. The spring on the end has come in handy a few times when I’ve accidentally yanked the cable from my amp. (Accidents happen) Overall, I’m satisfied with the quality of this cable.

Original cable is a bit flimsy, it was easily cut by wear and tear. This cable is better looking and seemingly better contructed. It's a bit shorter than the original. Not very noisy in use, ie it doesn't transmit much friction noise from clothes etc No difference in sound quality from original .

Parfait sonne bien et livraison super rapide .

My fear was of another poor copy, third-party replacement thing. THIS IS OF HIGHER QUALITY AND BETTER DESIGN THAN THE ORIGINAL! I highly recommend this! Quality, durable material from end to end. It is also silent. Nothing much crystal clear sound/music. I love it!

This cable is mostly fine. The TRS end is gold plated, as is the 1/4" adapter. This doesn't do anything, but it looks nice. The cable feels pretty good, and doesn't hold its previous shape (no worries about coiling up.) I only give it 4 stars because the cable is pretty prone to microphonics, where you can distinctly hear every sound it makes as it brushes against your clothing, blows in the wind, etc. There is one other thing to be aware of, however. This cable will not work with balanced headphones without some.... modifications. The mini XLR connection at the end only has 3 holes: L, R, and one ground pin. Balanced headphones have 4 pins: L, R, and two grounds for left and right. To use this cable with balanced headphones (say, a modded DT 770 pro) you will need to make two modifications. First, the XLR connection needs an extra hole to accommodate the extra pin, which I made by heating up a small wire brad on the stove, then melting through the plastic. You may want respiratory protection for this step. Then you will need to bridge the L and R ground pins in the headphone. You could do this by opening it up and resoldering it, or you could do what I did and take the less permanent solution of bridging the two pins with a small loop of stripped wire. Once this is complete, however, the cable works just fine with any pair of headphones you might throw at it.
