5Solid and Heavy  Jan 31, 2010 By Daniel G. Lebryk
The biggest question I ask about these cables, are they worth the premium charged above more normal cables? The key to me is the lower end 100 series Monster cables, Monster S100-I-12 Standard 100 1/4-Inch Instrument Cable (12 Feet). The answer is mixed, and depends on what you are looking for.

The cable ends are very heavy, they are metal and do unscrew. In some ways this is probably good, they feel good in your hand plugging and unplugging. The jacks are gold plated and look like they would last a lifetime. On the other hand, the series 100 plugs are a molded plastic end, with a good bit of flex to them, and they are lighter weight. So the choice is, heavy, shiny gold; or light weight, gray/black? For me, I like the heft of these cables.

Construction-wise these are likely lifetime cables. Check out the pictures I've posted. The metal housing screws into the jack. There is an O-ring to seal the top portion of the threads. Inside the wires are soldered solidly to the jack, and then the whole thing is cast in solid acrylic or plastic. Unless you run over this end with a truck or pulled really really hard like tug of war, the wire is never separating from the jack. I don't think the actual 1/4 inch jack is any sturdier than other jacks.

Sound is excellent. They are clear clean cables. Are they better than the 100's? Oh maybe a tiny bit. Maybe a little clearer, cleaner sound. But it isn't a huge difference.

Bottom line, for gigging, probably go with the 100's. The jack ends will get stepped on at some point and they are cheap enough to replace. For practice or in your house, these are probably the way to go. They do look particularly good plugged into a Marshall half stack.

These cables are not outrageously over priced like everything else Monster Cable. Study different one quarter inch jack cables and you'll see these are priced very close to everyone else. This is not the case of the HDMI cables at the big box store for fifty times what you should pay for them.

5Pretty much the only cable you're ever going to need  Mar 02, 2011 By michael
This cable was gift from the owner of The Whisky a GoGo. Apparently some band left it behind the night before doing a gig. The point is that was back in September 2007 and we are currently in March of 2011. Lord knows how long the previous owner had it for. This cable had been through heavy use and countless gigs, this cable truly is a beast. It is still my primary cable and does not short out or anything. This cable delivers high clarity and super low noise. The $30-$40 you pay will last a good 4 or 5 years. I don't see this cable giving up on me anytime soon. Highly recommended!!!!

5Looks great  Sep 07, 2009 By N. Webb
Very nice cable that does everything needed from a instrument cable. The only knock against it is the really large, heavy, gold ends. They are very bulky and heavy. This may be a better design than the plastic ended monster cable I had before, but it seems to me that these heavy metal ends may lead to wear problems down the road. Maybe not, I guess we will see!

****
As of 5/9/11 have used since 2009, no problems! The heavy ends seem to help protect the connectors.
