Should I get the straight or coiled cable for my 16 year old son who will be using it with his touch IPOD?

i would get the coiled cable i have never had a problem with it, and i personally like it coiled so it doesn't get wrapped around other items

Since he won't be using it for studio. It would be quite troublesome to get the coiled cable. So for him I would recommend the straight cable.

The coiled cord gives one the flexibility of movement without the challenge or aggrevation of possible entanglement.

I personally think the coiled cable is long enough. Especially if he is on the move while he is listening.

You are welcome. If coiled cable is short for your setup, just get longer one with 2.5mm stereo coiled jack both ends. Very good zoom control.

You can just buy any generic AV cable and/or power cable on you ipod. Theres 1 that I have search off on apple website, its only $19 but it doesnt have power cable or the s-video connector. Theres lots of them if you search the web. The samsung version has power cable built in and a s-video together with a composite. Its only good at displaying ipod gui then playing it with sound, ipod video is lame tho, low frame rate and low resolution, I wouldnt even bother playing video on ipod then display it on TV. Most AV ipod cable has the headphone connector, which is lame, would be great if it were optical cable.

No, it isnt coiled, but its very thick. However the cable can be replaced, its has a XLR female and a 3.5 mm audio male.

It's a coiled cord. These are very decent headphones, imo, probably one of the best bangs for the buck. My son is pretty particular when it comes to tech devices, and this is one of the only items that he owns, where he's completely satisfied, and doesn't feel the need to upgrade, even when offered. But I digress, again, the cord is coiled. :)

yes buy it man, i use an iphone 5 and the sound from this beats every other line in cable i bought from ebay. I admit this one is kinda ugly but it is quality

Since both the 2012 & the 2013 models use the same charger I imagine a cable that functions for one will function for the other. I don't have the coiled cable, only the long heavy cable, and as thick as it is I doubt that the coiled cable is as thick. The coiled cable would need to be thinner to be able to flex. My only concern with the coiled cable is that when it is stretched while connected it might stress the connections, perhaps disconnect. Whichever you decide to go with I believe you will be pleased with the quality and customer service of Mediabridge.

I can't speak to that specific iPod, but with an apple cable, I haven't had any issues with units that I need to chase with the old 30 pin connector or the new lightning connector. Same applies to mini USB. The 2A ports charge an iPad pretty quickly

It probably depends on the vehicle and also if you're trying to keep a cd changer in play. For my installation, I only needed the iPod 30 pin cable as I wanted the USB port free so that I can use it as a charging port for my iPhone while in the vehicle.

These were for my son but that plug is pretty standard and he used it on his iPod :)

I think you need the adapter to get full control of the ipod. It will work thru the usb but you won't have full control. You could always try it out before you order the cable to see it the usb will meet what you want.

you can always buy the little converter thingy so he can use both (Give me®3-PACK 8 pin to 30 pin Charge & Sync Cable Adapter For Apple iPhone 5s/5c/5 4s/4 iPod iPad (white)). However, you should not buy this unit! I bought one for my wife; on day three the clock stopped working and on day five the radio stopped working. For $30 more you can get this rockin' Sony docking station (Sony ICFCS15IPN) ; I've abused mine for a couple years and it keeps on humming.

Unknown, it still works and my 9 year old son is using it. He's pretty rough with cords. I like this cord better than most other ones this price and definitely better than the apple one.

These questions go to buyers not manufacturers. Can I ,as consumer, shorten the cable....I guess, but why? Its easier to put it wrap it up as shown in the picture. For my purposes I didn't even need a cable, my current ipod system has a 5 ft cable, I simply needed an adapter but this works great.

Welcome to the club! They are awful. Better get the cable from amazon that is certified. AmazonBasics Apple Certified 30-Pin to USB Cable for Apple iPhone 4, iPod, and iPad 3rd Generation - 3.2 Feet (1.0 Meter)

My son charges his older iPod touch with the device so I believe it should be fine.

The coiled cable is 1.2 meters long without being stretched. The straight cable is 3 meters long.
