2.0 out of 5 stars Breach of trust, May 15, 2009

This review is from: Monster MIDI Cable - 12 Feet - 5 pin DIN (Electronics)

I used to buy nothing but Monster cables for musical equipment, even though the price after discounting (I'm one of the store's longest-standing customers) was not insubstantial. I became less interested in the brand when a piano patch cord shorted out on me, followed by the rubberized housing at both ends of this midi cable pulling loose from the plug, thereby exposing the thin wires underneath. Granted, not everyone is going to use the cable for jobbing, but of late I'm happy to play Hosannahs on my Hosa cables.

This review is from: Monster MIDI Cable - 12 Feet - 5 pin DIN (Electronics)

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, FRUSTRATION OR MONEY. This USED to be a reputable company. I do not know what has happened to their quality, but you have to know it has taken a nose-dive if Monster Cable can be out-done by products from Radio Shack. After a few short months of use (plugged into a stationary professional electronic keyboard like it is supposed to be) I started noticing that gravity was taking a toll on the connectors. Specifically, there was a slight bend from the metal mount of the midi pins to the plastic-wrapped connectors. Therein lies the culprit - PLASTIC. As of today, (approx 3 months later), the plastic pulled away from the midi connector, thus 'popping' off and completely damaging the interior connector pins, making this product USELESS. (What's worse, is now that I could see inside the assembly, lo and behold - more plastic!) I had read the previous poor reviews and thought that maybe the problems other buyers were experiencing were just random issues. WRONG. Take my word for it, (or not - you'll find out anyway), take the trip to Radio Shack or purchase from a professional music store, cables that have solid WRAPPED secure bindings. Funny, on the Monster Cable package it says "patent-pending connector with 24K gold contacts" - USELESS if they pull apart and break due to the cheap crappy plastic casing you are using to hold it all together. duh! Also useless is their FULL 100% REPLACEMENT warranty. How does this make sense? A new pair won't be affected by gravity? More duh. I'll replace these alright, but not with Monster Cable.
