The cables works great after my cat chewed through the original. No sound quality issues. Cord length is a little short, but I like that -- it's not getting tangled up anywhere, with longer cords in the past I've had to wrap them up. My only 'complaint' is very minor: the cable is made out of two different materials. The part that connects to my DAC is a standard plastic feel while the chunk that plugs into my headphones are a more premium-feeling sleeved cable. This isn't really a problem but it strikes me as a little strange.

Needed something that wasn't as outrageously long as the cable that came with my k240 studios, thus fit the bill nicely. Snug fit, quality materials, zero complaints. Big fan of the spring as strain relief instead of rubber.

Works great. Durable.

As the title says, I bought this to replace the cable from my Behrdynamic DT 990 Pro X cable that my cat chewed in half. Works perfectly fine, the mini XLR plugs into the headphones perfectly, and the 1/4 adapter fits snug on the 3.5mm. Don't notice any change from the default cable that came with my headset, so sound quality is still good/the same. 4.9 ft (basically 5ft) is enough length to plug into my audio device, reach me sitting in my chair, and even gives just a bit of wiggle room to move around without having a big long cable dangling on the floor. The cable is a nice black thread with red inline, and the plugs are a gold and silver color. Definitely stands out on a black/grey headset but I personally love it. The lightweight threaded cable is also nice, but I just personally wish it was just a bit thicker for protection. Wishing the cable was a bit thicker is the only reason I'm giving it a 4 star and not 5. Other than that, these are perfect cables! Definitely worth the price.

I bought a set of AKG K7XX open back headphones a few months ago (via Massdrop). They came with a decent-quality 10ft (!) cord, which I found WAY, WAY too long for regular use. Obviously I'd rather the cord be too long than too short, but still... 10 FEET LONG! It was unwieldy, to put it mildly. After a couple months of stuffing 7 feet of cord in my pocket, I finally decided to look for something more reasonable. That's where this 1.2m (4 foot) cord comes in. I was torn between this one and a similar one that had inline volume/track controls, but I settled on this one for the sake of simplicity... seems like fancy features are always the first thing to fail on such products. I wasn't sure what to make of this cord when I first got it. It's got a fantastic braided sheath, a metal spring for strain relief on the TRS end, and appears to have some excellent quality connectors on both ends. The 1/4" TRS adapter is screw-on, which I appreciate. The 3.5mm end connects solidly into all my devices without being ridiculously tight. And most importantly, the length is perfect. My only concern was the thickness of the cable. It seemed kinda thin compared to the 10 foot cable I was using before, and since I tend to use headphones with my HTC 10 without an external amp, I worried that I might lose some loudness through a thinner wire. Turns out my fears were unfounded. If anything, I seem to get more volume out of my phone now than I used to. I can listen comfortably at less than half volume, which gives me plenty of headroom. For the price, this cord is a downright bargain. If you're in a similar situation as I was and you're hesitating, don't. Just pull the trigger and order this. Mine arrived just in time to listen to the new deluxe re-issue of Faith No More's "We Care A Lot" album, and it's been an amazing listening experience.

This replacement cable for my beloved AKG headphones works perfectly! It is actually more rugged than the one that came with the headphones, though not as long (this one measures 40 inches). That’s ok…I wrecked the original when the cord got tangled in my shoes and I, unknowingly, tried to walk away from my computer. The ends are high quality, the cable has a sturdy, braided fabric covering, and the 1/4 adapter is threaded so it screws onto the mini jack for a secure fit. The price is reasonable given the high quality and it arrived at my doorstep within 48 hours! If you need a replacement cable you can’t go wrong with this one!

Needed a longer cable because the original was too short for reaching to the back of my pc, good product

There are two major issues with this cable, both of which are caused by lacking quality control. The first issue is that the braided cord has a rough feeling coating, which is a horrible material choice for a headphone cable. Whenever the cable rubs against anything, e.g. your shoulder, then that vibration carries through into your headphones. The rubbing sound is very loud and ruins any listening experience. This is not specific to my copy of the cable, but a design flaw. Meaning that the cable manufacturers haven't really tested it much. This problem does not exist with the original AKG cable that has a smooth rubber-like plastic coating. The second problem is with the miniXLR release button. It got stuck immediately after first use, meaning that the cable is now essentially permanently attached to my headphones. It does not seem possible to remove it without breaking the cable. There is also high risk of breaking the headphone-side socket. This is probably not the case for every copy of this cable, but it shows the lack of quality control. They never tested the release button of this specific cable in the factory. All of that combined with the fact that the price is almost the same as the original AKG replacement cable leads me to a conclusion that this cable must be avoided.
