I have used this for a good month for a church group and the 5 I bought have held up well. Only complaint is as a sound man if the players forget to push the button back to on then they think somethings wrong with wire not working but that's a human thing not a fault of product, But its nice when someone has to switch an instrument during performance and has the know about to push off button rather than pop the system by not telling me to shut down channel 1st. If its used correct in a sound system setup its a nice wire to have.
