kenable Gold Right Angle MONO Jack 6.35mm Guitar/Amp LOW NOISE Cable Lead 1m

Good enough for light, occasional, amateur uses.
So far so good. These came on time, adequately packaged. I bought four, and all appear to work satisfactorily on a quick test - with no obvious noise, hum or crackle. So, for the very low price paid, they must be considered a bargain so far. However, it is a case of horses for courses - and these very cheap 6m leads don't give the impression they would stand up to rigorous use over a long period of time. But for occasional, light, amateur use they could be ideal. The downsides, and why I don't think they will be very robust, are A) the cable is a bit thin. Not excessively, but it is maybe four fifths the girth of a premium guitar lead. And B) the right-angle plugs have plastic moldings which feel a bit flimsy - like they would crack if dropped onto a concrete floor. (The straight plugs are metal.) The good news is that the jacks seem well engineered, and the right size, so they have a positive fit in a standard socket. So if you have an occasional need for a long instrument cable then these are worth a go, given the ridiculously low price. But if you are gigging regularly, forget it. Pay the money and do it right.

One thing, lead, to another.
Really nice mono leads that I am now using to help revamp a home studio. When you have equipment racks that need to stay out of the way but which, in my case, also have a patchbay on the back side of the rack to help connections, the patchbay really benefits from having angled connectors to reduce the distance that the rack has to stand off from the surface behind it. In a small studio space this small difference can mean a lot in terms of usable space in front of the rack.Guitars that have a socket straight into the front face can also benefit from having an angled connector into the socket so as to avoid catching the lead with the strumming hand as well as alleviating the strain on a cable that is constantly bent 90 degrees (instead of being designed that way). Anything that pre-empts a problem is surely a good thing.In many ways the best time to review leads is after a couple of years of moderate use since, in most cases, the important aspect is how they withstand handling and keep their signal integrity. If the connectors are any guide then they should last very well, since the connectors are sturdy and the strain relief seems to work well (I'll not test one to destruction right now...). Since they can be found at good prices, usually better than what else is "out there", they are definitely top quality leads for general small studio use, and I've little doubt that I may be getting more over the course of time. Recommended.

Simply doesn’t work. Don’t waste your money.
I bought this a few weeks ago but due to restrictions related to the Covid 19 lockdown I didn’t attempt to use it until yesterday. When I plugged my guitar into the amp I couldn’t play it as there’s obviously a loose connection in one of the jack plugs, causing my guitar to cut in and out every time I moved. Using a different guitar lead worked, but this one is junk. And now I find that it’s too late to get a refund.

Does what it should for a reasonable price.
Great stuff. Bought two; one for the guitar to pedal and the second for pedal to amp. No more crackly connections. I can blast out my mediocre riffs to my heart's content. I must be getting better because the neighbour is drumming along on the wall.

Great price cable that works great
I'd thought ud just buy a cheap no nonsense cable as u normally use radio pack ...but only small gigs at weekend and found thus cable a lot better than cables 3/4 times more expensive ... Noiseless even tho the cable is quite thin ...well worth buying 2 or 3 to use

Lasted 1.5 years
Worked well till it died. Tho the connectors are very lightweight so the jack rolled around the socket quite easily.

Sturdy quality jack.
A sturdy amplifier/guitar jack. It replaced the flimsy jack that came with a new guitar.

Great Value Jack Lead
Good value lead, the cable is on the thin side so may not be very durable if it was forever being plugged in and out - Im using in a static rehersal set up so its ideal for me.
