Overall they're the best cords I have, and I have many from Livewire, Whirlwind, and Shure.
Sound
I own about 20 of these cords from 5 to 30 feet. They're clean, solid and reliable.
Features
Out of the 20 or so cords I own I've only had one connector go bad on me.
Quality
One of the reasons I bought this cord is the warranty. I have had to return 3 of 20 or so cords I own in the past 7 years. For about 100- 150 shows a year I think that's a pretty good record.
Value
They cost more, but I don't have to buy another one. That to me is the best value.
Manufacturer Support
I've never had to deal with the company, per se. The local music store is great about swapping out Monster cables.
The Wow Factor
Its a thicker, heavier cord; noticeably better than the bargain no-name cords

Compared to cheaper cables, these sound great. Compared to Mogami, these sound so-so. The harmonics are more out front, which could be just what you need to liven up your sound, especially on cheaper gear. But it comes with a price: less transparency. If you want to upgrade and haven't yet tried Mogami Gold, I'd go there first.

Sound
Very poor construction quality. Microphoning of the cable was also apparent, and was a constant annoyance.
Quality
Poor build quality, poor cable design.
