I simply wanted jacks that didn't stick out so far and risk being knocked sideways so damaging the socket on expensive equipment. The connectors are perfect, sitting flush with the back of equipment, safely out of harm's way. The connection is solid but not overtight as can be the case with some.
This cable is great, and there is a bonus; the cable itself is flat too! Even better, because it does not curl and kink like the usual round cables.
the transmission signal is fine with no hiss.
I am very pleased with this product and hope that Rockboard go on to cover every connection type in this style.
The Thomann price was excellent too!
