They cost like $4 to ship a big heavy box to me, and that is overnight... Pretty sure they're shipping with ufo technology to get those prices.
I've ordered a grip of 1/4" ts/trs 1/4"trs to male/female xlr... and maybe just an xlr. So far, good cables... no noise, and all cables checked out. Good cables usually show their quality over time, so my jury is still out.
My complaints, they say 97% coverage shielding... where's my other 3% bitch?
I really wish they made 1/4 to rca...
They are heavy and thick. They've got a little tiny wire and shielding in the middle then a HUGE fat rubber outside. Honestly, this is a little less than ideal. When you've got 10 of these hanging off of something, they pull really hard on the jacks... they don't need to be this heavy.
But still, there is absolutely NO competition at this price/quality.

Super pro tip from Lapland:
buy lots (at least 20 meters) of cable and any connectors you might need and solder your own cables.
it's cheaper and you get exactly what you want.
FUCK YEAH!
ps. DO NOT BUY CHEAPEST CABLE/CONNECTORS YOU CAN FIND
saving from wrong places is just too stoooopid

Monoprice is cheaper than rolling your own cables. Ain't that crazy? I've read from many people that have been using monoprice cables for a relatively long time that they have had no problems. I'll believe it when I see it, but this remains, for me, at this time, an amazing cost cutter.

yeah, I agree
I have a pair of TRS to XLR's that I have been battering around for well over a year now and no crackle, no issue
plus, you cannot go wrong with things like rca to 1/4" adapters and little headphone adapters for under $.50
