I'm a keyboard player, and in the past I had been spending $40-$60 for Monster's "delegated" keyboard cables. But suddenly one shorted out on me after only several months use, causing me to question the "Monster mystique." I began to compare the Monster keyboard cables with cheap, "off-brand" guitar cables and couldn't hear any difference. No question it's a well-made, trustworthy (but not indestructible or infallible) cable, but I'm no longer committed to it at any price. However, at Amazon's current "value" price for this particular Monster cable, it's a no-brainer. Moreover, I no longer have hesitations about purchasing a cable that doesn't say "piano" or "keyboard" on it. (One of my Monster keyboard cables even came with one end designated for the amp and the other for the instrument--but it was hard to see which was which in a dimly lit club.)

As for length, 6 feet is ideal if you're playing through your own amp (my preference). If you're plugging into a board or P.A. system, you'll want anywhere from 12 feet to 25 feet.

This cable is of very good quality. You can feel it when you touch and use it, you know it will last long. If you want to practice in a little room or sitting by the amp, 6ft will do it. Otherwise you will need a longer cable because if you like to walk while playing, this cable will be very short for that. Great cable, will buy again a longer one for different use.

OK, OK, I've heard it before: Monster cables are generally overpriced and they don't make your guitar or keyboards sound any better, but you have to admit they are durable and well-made.

For anyone that's endured a cheapo cable, it's clearly worth it to spend a few extra bucks and get one that's not going to give you headaches during a live performance or cause you to wake up in the middle of the afternoon screaming the next day.

A cable you're not afraid to step on (occasionally) or yank a little, these are Monsters' "standard" cables (not the most expensive ones) that sound as good and perform just as well as their pricier cables.

But hey, if you like to brag about your cables, go spend more money on them, but you really don't need to.

Ordered this cable for my guitar and it arived early... Have been shoping on Amazon and all of the items ordered have arived quickly... and been great products... The cable worked perfectly and makes my guitar scream.... Comes well packaged and with a red or blue interchangeble ring to put around it... Hope you like this product and Rock On...!!!

I Really like this cable. Though the six ft. version is relatively short, it does its job well. This cable is very quiet, and I consider it to be recording worthy

Picked this up for the patch connection between my effects pedal to my amp, perfect size. I'm not bought into the quality of monster versus others, and this is their "Standard" model. But the price is right and competitive and it is well made and not falling apart after spending most of its life on the floor.

I wanted a 6ft. standard instrument cable. I bought this one and it worked. You can even color-code it with interchangeable colored bands included. Its not long enough to run back and forth across the stage but I didn't really buy it for that.

Very tough, excellent sound...this cable is so much better quality than the other cables I have...was getting a slight hum with previous cable but nothing with this one...excellent buy

Product arrived quickly and in good condition. Not noticing any real difference between this and a cable I got at Target. It seems to be neither better nor worse. Overall, functions as advertised and pleased with purchase.

Pretty good cable for patching stuff that isn't going to move around much. I have noticed that cable ends with plastic strain reliefs usually don't hold up to a lot of movement. I'm not saying these would wear out quickly, I just prefer metal ends for the guitar plug, I use this to go between the amp and effects pedal. It gives a good, solid connection and doesn't seem to add any unwanted noise into the signal.

The ones I received have straight plugs on both ends, not sure why the picture shows a 90 degree bend on one end.
