Great Sounding Strong Cable
As a mobile DJ, I'm constantly going through cables. Constant packing and unpacking usually loosens cables and causes cracking and shorts. These cables have held up like a champ. The cloth covering prevents tangling and the connectors are very solid. These are now my go-to cables for connecting my most important equipment.

Average resistance
I bought these to replace the Fidelio X1 cable. All the reviews said to do it, so I did. This 12ft cable measures out to 1.1ohm. Ohm is measurement of resistance, the longer the cable the more resistance electricity will encounter and less power is transferred.... meaning your audio will sound under-powered at the same settings. For a cable this length 1.1ohm is about average. I'd like media bridge to offer lower gauge cable with 0.5 ohm. Its something I think a lot of consumers will want.Hit the helpful button =)Update: So I also bought the Zeskit 4 foot cable and the 12 foot extension, Media Bridge 12foot cable, KabelDirekt 3foot cable and 10 foot extension. Here is how I place them: Zeskit > KabelDirekt > Mediabridge. As far as construction, all the brands are about equal with KabelDirekt being less prone to tangle because of the thicker rubber/plastic material.Zeskit and KabelDirect were about equal in audio signal production with Zeskit just a hair cleaner. The differences were very small. Zeskit had lower balanced resistance. The 4foot cable was 0.4ohms, 0.2ohms, 0.1 ohms from tip to ground. With the extension it was an even 1ohm for tip and center, and 0.3ohms for the ground. KabelDirekt for the 3foot cable was 0.6, 0.3, and 0.2 ohms for the ground. With the extension, the tip was 1.1, center 1.2, and ground was 0.4 ohms.Lastly, Mediabridge had some distortion in some songs and TV shows I watched. The 12foot cable was 1.3ohms, 1.2ohms, 0.8ohm ground. Now maybe the cable I received was a dud, and that thats too bad. Bass was loose and treble was grainy. It also made my left earcup of the headphone warm. Switching to KabelDirekt, there was an immediate "OK, thats much better." Then testing the Zeskit I was more, "OH yeah, thats it."For Zeskit being 4feet longer than MediaBridge and 3feet longer than KabelDirekt, resistance test fared better by being lower and balanced.I hope that was helpful. =)

Nice
I like these as they dont tangle as easily as the plastic wired ones. This has a braided top sleeve and the ends are thin enough to fit my devices.

Finest Quality Stereo Cables Are Worth Every Penny
Another winner by Mediabridge. This cable has a unique woven design poly blend jacket that discourages tangling. It is shipped loosely looped in a 5"x1"x5" cardboard clamshel carton so it's easily unpackaged for immediate use. The metal parts are well machined and polished to an extreme high quality level. The tips have a step-down shoulder to defeat the evils of Apple devices that sometimes require a super skinny tip body or else you cannot plug in the cables! The wire and connection terminations are higher quality so no noise is induced into your audio system, unlike the experience you may have with some cheap no-name cables. Buy these, they are worth a few pennies more for sure!

The braiding on the wire detached from one of the ends of the jack, it still works but I thought I was buying quality. :(Update: it now has static and cuts in and out

You get what you pay for.
Gold plated, hefty shielding, great audio signal and length. I use this to connect my phone to my computer speakers from my bed because I sleep while listening to music and like to be able to turn my music up or down or skip songs while listening to it and my speakers do not have a remote. The price is pretty steep but you get what you pay for and I'm sure that this cable will last years before I retire it or replace it. Unless it gets cut or otherwise accidentally damaged but as I said, hefty shielding leaves it unlikely.

Not a good deal.
The sound was perfect on this for about a week. Apparently the transmission material deteriorates with use or maybe it is because I store it coiled. Either way it is now not usable.

Great Cable
It is very difficult to find a braided cable, but I wanted one. In my experience, they last longer and don't get tangled as easily as rubber-jacketed cables.This lived up to my expectations! The ends are heavy duty! They felt solid and I wasn't worried about breaking them, even with heavy use. So far, the cable has held up as well, and I haven't had to worry about any tangles.
