"Audio Patch and Headphone Extention Cables: I find this product works fine, but be careful not to subject plugs to pulls and angular tugs (remember, plastic breaks easily)

When assembling plan your work, use a good pencil iron and use heat sparingly w/.062 solder... the first time. Damage will occ …"  Read Full Review »

"Very shoddy construction. White plastic insulating material between terminals melts after applying only modest heat to achieve a good solder joint.

Flimsy and floppy to handle while soldering.

★☆☆☆☆

"I bought a pack of these to repair a pair of broken Sennheiser PMX 60s, and they failed very easily with incredibly inferior plastic interior construction.
