"great sound, terrible quality"
Quality:
after hearing about the superior sound monster cables could give (not just in instruments, but home theater as well), I shelled out the extra dough for about 4 of these (2 standard instrument and 2 rock guitar cables). A couple years and several returns later, only one still works. On two of them, the connector came loose or just snapped off. On the third, the signal pops in and out. No, it wasnt just bad luck... I've returned the first two with the same result. And no, i dont jump rope with the cables or use them carelessly... not sure if its a question of quality or durability.
Value:
who wants to deal with returns every six months? not me. and for the price, this just isnt worth it
Sound:
definitely an improvement over the standard, cheaper cables. could hear the difference right away
Support:
the customer service is great, they replaced with no hassle.
Overall:
the amount of money and hassle these things cost you, i wont be buying anymore monster cables

"Better than the generic cables"
Feature:
Plugs into an amplifier and delievers sound, and has switchable color bands to colorcode your cords.
Quality:
It's a good thing they come with a lifetime warranty, I have had a few of these, and they do tend to start getting a bad connection after time mainly if your using it as an instrument cable (I still use one for connecting my Power Amp to my Pre Amp, and since it doesn't get moved around it works fine), its not the sturdiest cable.
Value:
Better than any generic cable, you do have to spend more money for a decent cable, though not necessarily this much
Desirability:
I use Bill Lawrence cables now, which they sell the cable by the foot, and the connectors for about $3.50 a piece. The cables are probably a got bit cheaper then monster cables and they really let your clean tone shine, and let your highs out.
Sound:
It's a good cable, better than what you'd find for $5 or whatever. However, I would not say they are the best cables ever, they do have higher capacitance then the cable I'm currently using. This tends to soften out your highs, and I could notice from A/Bing the cables, that the monster muddys your clean tone (I use hotter pickups so a strat player or someone with PAF's might not notice as much). But the cable does provide a good distorted tone, and is definitely better than any generic cable.
Ease of Use:
I dont see how It could be hard to use a cable.
Support:
I did send out for a new cable once, and I don't believe I had to send the other one back, though I don't clearly remember. But it was easy to get it replaced, besides the wait (though I figure retail stores might honor warranty's)
Overall:
Like I said, better than most cables, never used planet waves, just ordinary inexpensive peavey cables and whatnot and the Bill Lawrence. These are a good choice for an upgrade but I personally would recommend BL cables.
