I see so many negative reviews about the cheap quality of the cables but a lot of the reviews are old. Has the manufacturer fixed their problems?

Honestly I haven't tried this cable yet. It's kind of cheap but I have another one like it and it works fine, no problems.

No. Do not buy these. They are a waste of money. The ends are too small for many standard mics (Shure SM 58 for example) and thus you don't have a consistent connection. They just are too small and then you have to hold the cable into the mic. Total waste of money.

I didn't find any issues with the cable. It has good flexibility and the XLR plugs seem fine for the money.

While they are not a high quality cables, they work ok. Not for road use. The quality control is a bit lacking. I bought two of these. While unplugging one, the body pulled away from the plug (3pins).The retainer screw had fallen out onto the floor. After finding it, I put it in place to screw it in. There are no threads on the "screw" that was inserted as the retainer. I solved this by putting the screw in place and applying a couple wraps of electrical tape. Later, I bought two Planet Waves cables. They cost a little more but you also get QUALITY. The CBI's are now backup.

Do not buy cheap cables. They do not hold up. Go middle of the road on pricing and you should be ok.

With HDMI cables, either they work, they don't, or they have intermittent loss of signal. I have 6 of these Bluerigger cables in my house, and not a single one ever cut out or didn't work. In my book, that means they are just as good as the expensive cables. Probably the only difference is, the expensive ones could probably take more extreme bending or strain. Don't quote me on that, though, because the Bluerigger cables look like they can take some punishment too. Personally, I won't buy any HDMI cable other than these.

I have had the cable for about 4 months now, they are quite sturdy.I rarely disconnect them as well.

I haven't had any issues so far. The only thin I don't like is that the cable seems to be rather weak. I recommend to treat it nicely.

Yes, I've had the same issue with cheaper cables. The Belkin "Snagless" design is superior to other snagless designed. I know 5 of these cable including 1 I carry with me all the time and I've never had one of these clips break.

I'm not sure why other people are reporting this. I do know that it is the best cable I have tried to date, and I have tried very many brands and lengths. I have purchased more from Tech Armor since ad have had no trouble with any of them.

This cable works well, I have two of them. The signals are digital, so the quality of the cable does not matter much. The sheathing is a little thin and loose so it doesn't feel very durable, but I have not had any problems.

Usually, the certified cables are at least 1/2 to 2/3 the price of the ones from the overpriced fruit seller. There are some supposedly "certified" cables out there that sell for $5 or less, which are obviously counterfeit and may last a month if they work at all. Go with a known brand like Belkin, Amazon Basics or the Friendly Swede to be sure you're getting the real thing.

I have had no problem with mine. I have been using the unit almost a year and no issues. Have you tried a different cable?

I've wondered that myself. I bought the cheapest one and it works beautifully. Not one complaint.

Yes they are, and I think I know why you ask. One of mine was corroded when I pulled it out of wrapper. It really messed up one of my gigs because I assumed since it was brand new, it couldnt be the source of the sound problems I was having. After the gig, I unscrewed the cable ends and they just crumbled apart.So, really I cant recommend these cables.

I bought one after the bad reviews, and have had no problems. I am entirely pleased with the product. That doesn't answer your question, I know, as clearly it wasn't a 100% failure rate.

I've bought 2 cables from them so far and I've had real good luck with them. Sounds good!

I have n' t had experience with assistente,fortunatelly, ,but I think cables can be certainly factory repaired. Sound is just excellent,with very powerful and incredible basses , while high frequencies are very good,but not at the state of art,in my opinion.

To be honest I don't know but all my cables are monster cables and I have never had a problem with them.

no, it actually works great. That is one problem my husband had with previous brands and this one does not have any defects. We have had it for almost a year now with alot of use.
