2-Pack 1/4 Inch TS to TS Electric Guitar Cable - 6ft, Guitar Amp Cord, Instrument Cable for ElectricGuitar, Mandolin, Bass AMP, Keyboard, Mixer, Equalizer

I am a long time musician and have a music studio in my home. I bought these TS cables to connect my mixer to a headphone amplifier/splitter so I can go silent while practicing and recording with my e-drums and guitars. I recently replaced my acoustic drum kit with the e-drum set to spare my wife who suffers from migraine seizures. I buy “Cable Matters” cables because they are affordable and reliable. They always get the job done. These are not the highest quality cables, but for the price they are an excellent value. They are not thick (heavy wire gauge) like cables for high volume passive speaker connections but that’s not why I bought them. They are flexible with decent quality end plugs. They work great for connecting my mixer LR outputs to my amplifier inputs. I even tested these cables by connecting them to my bass guitar. I don’t recommend them for live stage performances, but for practice or studio work, they sound as good as any of the other more expensive cables I have. I have other audio cables from Cable Matters and they are all decent quality and work well if used for their stated purposes. I definitely recommend these TS cables for mono unbalanced audio input purposes.

Good quality product. Received on time, well packed. Everything as described by the seller. The price is the same as on the website. Works well. Noise level good. Length good. Satisfied. I recommend the seller to others.

Unfortunately I have found out the hard way that cables do matter. I have traced more noise problems and I care to mention that were due to poor cable quality. The cheaper brands quality in specs are a little off, which causes loose connections when plugged in. Especially quarter inch cable connections. I chased down a cable loss between my monitor switch and my monitors. It turned out the cable connector of one manufacturer had a 12 ohm difference between two identical cables. This caused greater loss going from one speaker to another. Headphone balance was fine but my left channel speaker out was noticeably lower due to a cheaper cable pair. I have replaced multiple cable runs with cable matters and so far I have no complaints. They seem to be a well-made and consistent cable manufacturer.

Working well so far.

Great quality and on the heavy duty end. Using it on our keys.

Great deal, two for the price of one. Perfect length for practicing and using both great for performing.

These cables look good, and seems to be of quality construction. I haven't had any issues with interference or cross-talk, so the shield seems to be quite good. I am happy with them.

More expensive cables often sound better, but the returns diminish rapidly after a certain point. A $60 Mogami guitar cable is audibly better than a cheap Fender cable and is worth the money for studio use. But is a $150 Lava cable better than the Mogami? Not enough to justify the $ in my opinion. But more expensive is not always better. Here we have an example of a $15 cable set being preferable to a $40 set. I recently bought the Korg Minilogue XD synth and I needed 10' instrument cables to connect with my interface. I ordered some Roland Black cables along with the synth, but they ended up being back-ordered. Knowing I'd eventually need more cables anyway I bought this much cheaper set to "tide me over" until I got the Rolands, which I assumed would be better quality, at least in terms of durability and possibly sound too. I was wrong. After a few weeks using these cables the Rolands finally arrived and I switched them out. Immediately I noticed a change in the character of the sound. The Rolands had a sound I'd describe as dry and cold, not as involving. I switched back and forth a few times and consistently, I just liked the Cable Matters set more. Was it night and day? No. I won't make a blanket statement that these sound "better," and I won't say there's anything wrong with the Rolands. But the Cable Matters brought out a certain bloom or richness in the Minilogue's sound that the Roland cables did not, and I not only heard the difference but felt it too. These made me want to play more and the Rolands didn't. In terms of durability I'd say the two sets are comparable. Assuming Cable Matters have good QC and this is a representative example, I think they're a steal at this price.
