I've used these cables for a couple months at my venue which has shows every night of the week. The only problem I've ever had is that the cable itself is fairly easily ripped out of the female xlr connection. They work great in static locations, but, give them to a lead singer and he'll definately pull the cable out.

I can't really speak for the technical quality of these cables. I've only used them once and they worked. My problem is that even after taking the time to coil the cables properly, they tangled as soon as the cable ties came off. I spent valuable set-up time untangling mic cables.

I will use them in my studio for installations that don't require that they be moved. But I wouldn't purchase these again.

I am a small venue sound guy and run numerous shows each month, often with acts that are rough on the equipment, and I've gone through a lot of cables in the past several years.

For some reason, even though they seem a little thin and light compared to some more expensive cables- the silver series cables in my kit (I have 4 and am getting 6 more) are the only brand that I've never had fail- not once.

I have purchased over half a dozen different brands of cables, from top-of-the-line to cheap-as-can-be (by the way- don't EVER get the cheapest cables you find- they end up costing a lot more in replacements in the long run!!!) and even cables costing three or four times as much have failed on me- and whether pinched in spaces in the stage, drenched in booze, twisted, stomped on, caught under amps and yanked on, tangled by a variety of inexperienced assistants - somehow these haven't. So- the brand search is over- these win and are what I'm buying when I need more cables.

These are, overall, very good cables. The Mogami Silver Series Microphone Cable transmits good clean sound without any distortion that I have been able to detect. As far as electronic hum is concerned, these cables are clean and clear no matter what the situation. As far as durability is concerned - take care of this cable and it will take good care of you.

I have been using these cables for tons of gigs, recording applications, and basically anything that comes my way. These cables are awesome! I tried the musicians friend 10 cable pack and I think Im down to 4 cables that work after 4 months. My band and me are extremely rough on stage and we use this cable for all of our mics. Havent had a single problem with em' yet!
