 A lucky find Jan 03, 2011
By Samuel Chell
Recently, some manufacturers of digital pianos and other electronic musical equipment have been insisting on the use of "balanced" cables, which are apparently a distinct minority among available cables on Amazon. The output jacks on my most recent instrument, a Kurzweil PC1se, wouldn't even accept a conventional unbalanced, or "monaural," Monster instrument cable. Not wanting to pay the high prices commanded by some of the premium brands, I settled on the "CBI" balanced cables, sold directly by Amazon. They appear to be heavy-duty, but after a few limited uses I was unable to screw down the metal caps tightly over the solder-point. Instead, the cap acted as though it had stripped the bottom half it was intended to screw into, simply revolving endlessly--not exactly a secure solution for a typical, stressed musician.
These Hosa cables may appear more cheaply made--they're thinner, more supple, the joints encased in hermetically sealed plastic, with no possibility of unscrewing a metal cap and "repairing" a cable that's loosened from the connecting balanced pin. But they've proven so effective I now wish I'd ordered several more when I first saw them (the 10-foot cable was 40% cheaper only several weeks ago, since there was no postage charge). But even as currently priced, they cost half of what I paid for the CBI balanced cables.
Not surprisingly, I have little hesitation about ordering or recommending them.

Great item! Apr 20, 2011
By Adam H
I am a music producer and mix engineer. I was skeptical about these cables from all of the audiophile forums I had checked out. Everyone rants and raves about Mogami cables. Yes Mogami are great, but they are so expensive. These cables work perfectly fine from my audio interface to my studio monitors. I have not had any problems with them at all. I will be purchasing more for my hardware synths. I highly recommend these Hosa cables.
Gets the job done for a low price Apr 19, 2012

Great product for a great price. I may have to replace the cables in a year or 2, but the cable is worth it for the price.

Compared to Mogami and Monster, these cables are a steal. In fact, the only issue with them is that they don't last. The sealed ends mask the absence of quality in the connectors--the most critical aspect of any cable--and unfortunately within a few months of inputting, removing, inputting, etc, those ends begin to fail, thus compromising the integrity and utility of the entire length.
For approximately 50 cents @ foot, this is probably a decent purchase to consider, versus the $3 @ ft. prices for Monster and Mogami--provided you are willing to consider these cables disposable and potentially a disruption at an unannounced time.
You get what you pay for.
