4.0 out of 5 stars Reliable, for the most part..., October 3, 2007

This review is from: Cables To Go 21062 6ft Stereo Audio Cable (Electronics)

I use this item in my car with my ipod and the auxilary input in my car stereo. I enjoy the fact that the wire is very lengthy, giving the option to allow passengers in the back of my car to change the music. I have encountered small moments when there was noise when I would move the wire around at the input jack. However, for the most part, the product is reliable and I haven't had too many problems with the item.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beware of In-Car use, April 29, 2009

This review is from: Cables To Go 21062 6ft Stereo Audio Cable (Electronics)

This appears to be a competent basic level cable. I connected it and it worked perfectly. However, of all the reviewers who experienced a problem with this cable, 75% said it was in-car use, 13% said it was in-home use, and about 13% didn't say where it was used. The extreme temperature range and vibration this cable sees being stored and used in-car must be too punishing for such a basic level cable, causing this unacceptably high failure rate.

In-car users would be wise to choose a heavier duty cable. Heavier duty cables cost more, but so does the constant replacement of cheaper cables. Cable manufacturers and distributors should provide more meaningful cable specifications so consumers can judge and compare cable quality and durability; some manufacturers do (Cables to GO), (Cables for Less), but most don't.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality audio cable, August 31, 2008

This review is from: Cables To Go 21062 6ft Stereo Audio Cable (Electronics)

The Cables To Go 6ft 3.5mm M/M Stereo Audio Cable was delivered as promised, on time, and appeared to be in good shape. But the quality of the product is not good. The cable was purchased for use in connecting an MP3 player to the audio jack on a car stereo. After only a couple of weeks, the sound quality started to drop off. We wondered if the connection was bad, so we disconnected and reconnected the plug, but that didn't solve the problem. It turns out that the cable has a break somewhere inside the plastic coating and the only way to get the proper sound quality is to keep moving the cable until it gets to a position where the wires connect. The cable was cheap, so it's not worth trying to send it back and get a refund.
