Amazon Basics 2-Pack 3.5mm Auxiliary Audio Cable for Stereo Speaker or Subwoofer with Gold-Plated Plugs, 1.2 m, Black & Grey

Superb ables great quality excellent priceGreat Company

I bought this to replace a previous cable I was using to connect my Echo Dot to my stereo. The first cable worked fine but the sound was very quiet and required both device were turned up to almost full volume to get a half decent sound. I tried this cable just out of curiosity to see if there was a difference and the result was fantastic. No volume issues, everything sounds as it should and I was very impressed. It’s a well built cable, not the thickest and no braiding but it certainly works and I’d purchase other Amazon basic products if the quality is this good.

On first inspection the cable appears very thin, despite this, it is the correct length however.When testing I found that the cable did suffer slightly from emf noise as I suspect that there is a low quality or inadequate shielding around the audio channels and this would explain why the cable is so thin.For the price point, I would expect a better quality shielding on this specifically as it is an Amazon branded own product and other Amazon owned branded products I have had in the past. I have not had any issues with and I've always found it to be good quality but unfortunately that is not the case this time.For my intended use, I will keep hold of the cable. However, if you are after something where the audio quality does matter, then I would suggest looking for different cable

I’ve used similar ones for site radios, van setups, and speaker rigs, and they hold up—clean sound, no static, and easy to stash. The bevelled plugs are a win for tight sockets, and the gold plating keeps the signal crisp. For under £12, it’s a smart grab for anyone who wants reliable audio without overthinking it.

Excellent

Feels well built and sturdy. Used for connecting a laptop audio output to a soundbar via an Analog to Digital converter. No issues with sound quality.

Its a cable that connects my headphones to the socket, no fuss no problems .

Fine. But not suitable for Beats Studio 3s for which it was bought.
