Feature:
Rugged outside, made of rubber. About the same features as any other cable.

Quality:
Very high quality. From the quality/price ratio, I would give these a 12 out of ten. They don't get wharm with phantom power. I use these alot during the week. I do portable recording and they havent failed me yet. ;)

Value:
Awesome value. This cannot be beat, plus the more you but the cheaper they are.

Desirability:
Wanted them now I have them.

Sound:
I've go no noise out of these just the sound from my condenser.

Ease of Use:
just plug them in. The are not loose at all.

Support:
Havent dealt with them but with this low price you can just order more.

Overall:
Better then any quailty cable Ive ever had. I will buy more once I need them.

"Good Cable for Less $"

Overall:

Quality:

Value:
* * * * * * * * * * 10 out of 10
 
 
 
Quality:
It's not as rugged as some other cables I've used. However, it will last for a long time if you take care of it as you would with any other cable.

Value:
Great value! It's your standard mic cable. It just costs less.

Sound:
It sounds just fine as far as I can tell. I have used it with condenser mics with my Mbox 2 Pro supplying phantom power. I don't understand why people say these aren't balanced.

Overall:
This is an affordable cable that gets the job done. It's nothing special, but it's balanced and works just fine.

"WORKS WITH CONDENSORS JUST FINE!!!"

Overall:
* * * * * * * * * * 10 out of 10
Quality:

Value:
* * * * * * * * * * 10 out of 10
 
 
 
Quality:
All I can say is that this is excellent cable for the price. I have used condensor mics with this cable just fine. The only issue is that the xlr ends vibrate when connected to mics on rim mounts. All i did was tape the cable back to the mics and fixed the problem. Easy fix to get the cables at such a low price. Used it for recording with no problems.

"Similar free cable is true XLR"

Overall:
* * * * * * * . . . 7 out of 10
 
 
 
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Overall:
I wanted to see if these cables really weren't balanced, and I have a similar one that came with an Audix kickdrum mic. Mine has identical connectors as these, the wire says "whirlwind" and EMC20, and it is in fact balanced and wired correctly. The picture here isn't the same wire, exactly, but if they were making unbalanced cheap-date cables that only work with dynamic mics I'd have got one as my free cable. I am skeptical- I doubt these are what the guy said, miswired. It's not anything fancy like starquad or foil shielded, but my 'free 20 foot Whirlwind cable' is still a true XLR cable.

Quality:
you get a lil noise. if you want no noise i suggest spending a few extra bucks

Value:
10 dollars is worth it for this.

Desirability:
get it if your on a low budget. its worth it to use till you can afford something better.

Sound:
well i get a lil noise from it but what do you expect its 10 dollars. other than that it does work fine with phantompower and condenser microphones. i use a Behringer C-1 Studio Condenser with +48 phantom power and it works fine. good for price. if your startin off and/or low budget it it.

Ease of Use:
its a cord. i hooked it up and it works. thats all i gotta say

Overall:
overall, for lowbuget rappers/rockers/etc get this one. it works fine and easy to use. but if you want better quality i suggest getting a better one.

Quality:
THIS DOES CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH PHANTOM POWER!!! i couldnt figure out why my interface was running so warm and why it reset itself so much. i replaced this cable and no problems. DO NOT BUY IT FOR USE WITH CONDENSER MICS!!!

Overall:
These are NOT balanced cables! They are unbalanced cables with XLR connectors on them. The have connected the negative signal pin to ground. This means that you will pick up hum, condenser mics will not work, and that this can be dangerous to use on mixers with phantom power. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
