Would have got more stars, but I can't find one now.
Works great in my aged car for plugging the phone in and listening to 1970s big band jazz, mainly Buddy Rich*, when no one else is in the car.*Oh come on, you had to be there. I have some cool stuff that is relatively credible. Admittedly not much. Some though. I saw him live a lot, first time in about 1978**, at the Davenport Theatre in Stockport. It's long gone, as is Mr Rich himself. My mum & dad took me then, I was about 13.Bear in mind I had been listening to him since birth (dad, also long-gone, was a drummer) and at the point of that first gig – my first EVER gig of any sort – I had only seen him fleetingly once or twice on TV, on Parkinson mainly. My miserable, mean parents wouldn't let me access YouTube in the 1970s.Anyway, you definitely had to be there. I went to go and see the band, which he brought over to the UK for about a month every year, about 40 times from when I was about 16 through to when I was 21.I headed off across country as soon as I could get out and about myself. Tickets would be all of about £2 each. I went as far as Sheffield (yes, Sheffield) the Royal Festival Hall, Ronnie Scott's Club even, which I was convinced I wouldn't be allowed in as a 16yo who had never been to London in his life, but somehow managed it.It was the drama, not just the melodic, harmonic and rhythmic value. The show business. The incredible, young US musicians, marching formally on, often in their suites and ties, or all uniformly wearing BR T-shirts. A short pause before Buddy Rich strides not so gracefully on to the stage in a smart-casual yellow sweater, flinging a towel about before – if they were lucky – letting the band know what the first arrangement was going to be and cracking on with it.You could be as cynical as you like back then - or now - but with that steaming big band tearing through, for instance, the admittedly cheesy arrangement of Birdland it had, about twice as fast as Weather Report played it, with Steve Marcus pretty much eating his Soprano Saxophone whole in his solo - and you forgave a lot. You had to be there.As for the plaintive Cole Porter ballad about the sad life of a working girl, 'Love for Sale', which was also played at a Tesla Model S in Ludicrous Mode sort-of speed, building up to four bars of Mr Rich showing us all exactly what you can do with a Ludwig SuperSensitive snare drum, as long as you'd started playing the instrument when you were 12 months old and never, ever stopped.**I still have every bloomin' ticket stub and every programme from every Buddy Rich gig I went to. Upstairs, under the bed in a 'this is what I save if the house is on fire' folder. I could go and check that particular date. Not going to though, it would ruin me for the rest of the day.Anyway, these cables would have got more stars, but I can't find one of them.Stars now upgraded to 5 thanks to kind comment from the seller. Excellent work. And I am sure the missing one will turn up!

Used when driving for music from my phone
I have had a rough time with aux cables, they all seem to break within a month of me buying them. In the last year I have gone through about 5. I dont know if i am particular careless with them or if im just unlucky but this product has been an exception to my rule, after a few months the first cable is still fully functioning, even after I ran it over with my passenger seat, which seemed to fully crush the wire but it still works. I cannot really testify to the sound quality as the speakers in my car are among some of the worst quality speakers you could possibly imagine.Overall I think they are a reliable and durable pair of aux cables and well worth the priceIf you would like a product tested and reviewed, please contact me on this email:[email protected]

Excellent cables
Had these a few months, bought as my 3 yr old has a tendency to link, bit, chew, twist and generally abuse the headphone cable as he watches his iPad. Had these a couple months and only just moved to the second lead as he finally managed to break the first one. Good going as some other cables lasted about 48hrs.Overall very impressed.

Good Quality and Length
I brought a cable for use with my wireless headphones when the battery died and the transfer on these seems pretty good, solid build quality, doesn't tangle easily and very rarely do you get the jack movement crackle and the fact you get 2 for the price is great and gives a spare if needed. If your looking for 3.5 to 3.5 male you can't go far wrong with these however these won't operate a mic if built in to the headset so you'd to look elsewhere if it's a deal breaker.
