No point in looking elsewhere for a super great XLR connector. Monoprice XLR has it all. Gold contacts, great look, sturdy construction, easy to fit to any cable, studio quality yet it's not expensive. High value by any measure. Recommended by this recording engineer.

A very good product when properly attached to the cable. I enjoy and trust Monoprice products to deliver the performance I need and am accustom to. My only drawback is that on occasions under daily or weekly use one or two of the gold screw that attach the connector to the cable have loosened and were subsequently was lost which causes the signal to become distorted. Much to my surprise, when I contacted Monoprice they do not keep the gold screws replacement in stock. I search online for gold replacement screw but had no luck so the main reason I ordered the connectors is to rob them of their screws. A costly venture that could have been avoided if Monoprice kept them in stock.

Heavy duty

Awesome price .. great quality! Delivery was received just as was promised. Will definitely shop again

Nice male XLR connector, good quality and easy to use in making mic cables.

good solid connections. Make sure you check he for wire diameter. hole is to big for snake size wire.or tie a knot.

This is high quality item

PROS: Hi Quality

VERY GOOD

Good quality product. Great price. Excellent service

I used to think these plugs were great, so I made dozens of cables with them. Down the road I had cables failing under phantom power. After disassembling, I found the XLR cabling looked shredded inside and nearly every wire was touching! The connector has poor stress relief and over time causes internal problems. But the biggest issue is that the diameter of these connectors is SLIGHTLY bigger than most and requires more force to plug in sometimes. I didn't think this was an issue, until I plugged it into a $200 audio recorder several months ago and have NOT been able to remove the connector. It's stuck and will not release the locking mechanism because the connector is oversized. Now I get to carry the recorder everywhere with a 15ft XLR cable attached. Will never buy these again, and will go with the "name" brand for actually the same price now. Will be replacing all the XLR cables on our stage made with these.

PROS: Inexpensive, fairly easy to assemble

CONS: Poor stress relief that eventually causes cable faults, too big of diameter on plug
