What brand are the cables from? I have read that knockoff cables can damage ipod, ipad, iphone..etc. and that you should only buy namebrand or apple

They are not authentic but look exactly the same. I have not had any problems with it yet.

This is exactly what happened to me. The cord is USELESS. I cut mine up and trashed it. You MUST order the original Apple Brand ONLY Lightning cable which you can get at Radio Shack.

You have to purchase the lightning to 30 pin connector from Apple. Aftermarket cables won't work.

If Apple would make their products as durable as this cable, Apple would not get one complaint regarding there accessories. Apple should also make there cables as long as this one. The Apple Cables are too short.

Save your money and buy a cheaper cable. You will not notice a difference. Also Monster does not honour their so called warranty. I am saying this from experience.

Yep, mine crapped out after 3 months, hence why i bought this pair because its a lot cheaper to replace a cable than entire headphones! Replacement cost me around $30, i'm just making sure i'm careful with them, this pair comes with a second cable but its quite short too short to put on your ipod and still keep in pocket. To be honest you'd probably be hard pressed to find headphones that don't have cables that crap out after not that long its a common problem that plagues them. For me the cost of replacing the cable is worth it due to the sheer pleasure i get from listening to these great headphones.

i tried with that cable and it didn't work. i bit the bullet and bought the genuine apple cable to do that. i think it cost $39+

I haven't upgraded to iPhone 5 yet (didn't wait in one of those silly lines and now have to wait). I will report after I do the upgrade. I will get one of those $30 cables.

to be honest....& I work in the technology sector, I have no idea why the IOS version would make any difference, but the short answer is, I don't know. I will say this, I wouldn't recommend this or any other product Amazon sells of this kind of product, I've gone through 4 different brands of these now & all of them suck. I've not had one that lasted more than a couple uses. I'd be willing to pay MORE for one of these cables that actually worked for more than a couple uses.

NO, the cable is apparently "BASIC" and doesn't charge new apple products. It only charges "other lightning" products. Avoid.

I use it on my ipad air everyday... also iphone 5s. Both with iOS 7 of course. I got the Amazon basics ones because my other cables stopped working with iOS 7. I bought one, tried it out and it worked, so bought 2 more.

In all honesty, I would spend a little more and get a certified cable from Apple, this one is junk. The connector does not fit well and you can't charge the device at the same time as you can with others. Move on.

The cable that comes with the headphones has a mic on it and volume control module that is only designed to work properly with an APPLE device. You will still get sound if you use a different brand device, but the mic and volume control module may not work properly.

Stick to anything else. After receiving two pairs through warranty i was able to get a refund through amazon today. The product is severely defective and i am just lucky i could get my $80 back. Try apple earpods with mic or some of those skull candy ones. much cheaper and don't brake as easily. Also for the price there isn't a significant difference in sound quality. hope this helps if you have any questions just ask i went through three pairs so ill know.

I have no idea. I resolved to only buy Apple brand cables but when I saw these Apple Certified ones I decided to take a risk. They're great cables.
