Usually I don’t like to give 1 star, but I feel the safety of this cable is in question. And when you feel like your actual health could be compromised by a product, it really only deserves one star. I bought this cable for some high end headphones. The old cable was just a tad too short. The audio has been fine as of a few days into writing, BUT the rest of the experience was painful to say the least. The ends of the cord aren’t properly shielded, and can carry an electrical charge. Anything in close proximity will be shocked. This includes nearby metal objects (obviously), as well as anything that can take an electrical charge. In my case, this meant if the end was anywhere close to my skin, I got a burning shock. This happened multiple times, both to my ear and neck areas. To be clear, the charge felt like a hair was being yanked out. Only after several minutes did I finally conclude that the cord was literally shocking me. I used some spare electrical tape to insulate the end, and that seemed to work, but I’m not taking any chances with this product. The moment I can get another cord, I’m purchasing it. First time using amazon basics, and I literally got burned. Not a great way to start a relationship.Read more

Like several other reviews the silver coating that says “Amazon basics” unglued and slides back but now that it’s been just over six months all of the wiring came exposed… Maybe it was just a defective item that I received but for the little use I gave it I would’ve expected a much longer duration. On the plus side, before it started coming undone it worked great !!Read more

I bought this aux cable to use with my Samsung Galaxy S9 and my aftermarket car stereo. After initial, careful opening of the cardboard box, I found the the cable neatly coiled in a circle with two lightly wrapped twist ties inside an unsealed plastic bag. The cord itself seems fine enough, but I could immediately tell it is very inexpensive material, which is fine, remember this cable was $5.00. The connectors looked and felt very nice for what they were and should get the light-duty job done for me. The connectors fit appropriately well into my devices. I think the sound quality is fine and I have not had to spin the connectors around while music is play. Granted, I am not a good sound quality tester as the speakers the music is playing through are 18 years old. Still kicking!Read more

The reviews for this cable don’t really do it justice, AmazonBasics has already provided me a reliable choice for cables. This cable was exactly what you buy, a 3.5 mm cable that is NOT meant to be used for purposes where audio is going through more than 1 source. For my home setup I am running through two audio devices, which normally does NOT cause an Audio Feedback “Hum” in my headphones, but with this cable it does. You have to buy a ground to have it go away, or switch up your audio inputs/outputs to isolate and fix it. If you just need this cable for speakers, car radio, etc. 100% but it, if it’s for anything that is more complicated than that, purchase a more expensive, high quality cable and save the trouble.Read more

This six foot cable worked perfectly and is well made, but it was too short, and instead of doing the right thing and exchanging it for a longer one I strung it between the computer and the TV, letting it hang a few feet above the floor. I now have a ten foot cable that lies on the floor, so I’m just copying the party of the review of that cable that talks about what happened when I tripped heavily over the too-small one: “The AmazonBasics cable is very sturdy, but I did manage to break the first one I bought because at 6 feet it was too short to lie on the floor, making it inevitable that I would eventually trip over it. Frankly I was happy that the displayport plug on the 6 foot cable broke off instead of knocking the computer to the floor. Fortunately the 10 foot cable lies on the floor, and now I’m a happy little camper. I have several other AmazonBasics cables which have never given me any trouble, so I’m confident that this is the last cable I’ll need.” As you can see I consider it a feature, not a bug, that the mini displayport plug broke off instead of crashing my computer to the floor after I blundered heavily into it. You may prefer that your cables survive your equipment, but that’s up to you…Read more

I purchased this cable 3 months ago. I was looking for a cheap cable for my wife to connect her phone to a speaker. Pros:’ – No interference, no hissing (even when twisting the cable) – Sturdy – Doesn’t look cheap Cons: – The silver barrel of the plug terminal casing feels like plastic. Note: – Standard 3-pole cable (3-pole = 2 black bars; a 4-pole cable would have 3 black bars). This means that there is a channel for the Right audio, Left audio, and the ground. No other data can be transmitted (e.g: microphone). – I purchased the 2 feet (0.6 meters). Think twice before ordering this length; this is short! Given the price, I would recommend this cable to anybody looking for a basic product, yet of good manufacture.’Read more

Great AmazonBasics 3.5mm two-foot cable for five bucks. Got this for connecting from the earphone jack on my iphone to the aux jack in my car. What is nice about the plugs for this cable is that they each can fit in the hole on the case/bumper going to snuggly insert all the way into the earphone jack on my iphone. my OTHER old 3.5mm cable barely makes it in and as a result loses connection once in a while. But the plug for this new perfect AmazonBasics 3.5mm cable fits nicely in the hole in the case/bumper going to the jack on my iphone. Highly recommended getting this 3.5mm cable.Read more

Quite surprised at just how poor quality this Amazon product is. OK its labelled as ‘basic’ but I thought it would be better than this. It takes quite a bit of force to get it into any socket (Echo Dot and a hi-fi) and it buzzes if you touch it and buzzes if you disconnect the Echo. Going back.Read more

The cable is very thin and would likely break if pulled hard enough. The sound quality is inconsistent as when you pull the cable slightly in certain directions the sound will stutter and become distorted for a moment. This happens very regularly and I have had to switch to another cable which costs just about the same as this product but is clearly of a higher quality. I do not recommend this product even though I have had good experiences with other Amazon Basics products in the past.Read more

I needed a couple of these recently and popped along to my local supermarket to get them only to be horrified by the rip-off price. By contrast these cables are good value for money. For something described as AmazonBasics this cable is very well made with metal connectors. They insert tightly into an AUX 3.5 port. I use it to connect my Echo Dot to an stereo amp. Provides distortion free sound and in its silver/gold livery looks good in place too. RecommendedRead more

I can hear a quite annoying high pitched sound coming from my car speakers when I use this AUX cable. This high pitched sound goes away when using another AUX cable, so its something to do with how they make these cables. I would avoid these and get another brand. Very cheaply made feels like it will rip in your hands.Read more
