Title: Defective design; do not purchase
Review: My first cable was defective and when Amazon sent me a replacement, that one was defective too. The problem has to do with the flawed design of the female end of the cable: when a plug is fully seated (i.e. it feels like it's clipped-in properly), the metal contacts are not correctly aligned with the jack's, so only a small range of audio frequencies are transmitted. I was able to get full audio by partially unseating the plug, but then the whole connection was one small wiggle away from coming completely undone. I'm pretty sure that the flaw has to do with the third band for the microphone that is now standard on so many headphone plugs. I had better luck with headphones without a microphone, but the issues were still occasionally present.
Is the review positive or negative?
