Solid and Heavy 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 ran 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 steped 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. Rating: 5 (Daniel G. Lebryk, 2010-01-31) Product reviewed: Monster M ROCK-12 1/4-Inch Rock Instrument Cable (12 Feet)

Looks great 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!

Monster Rock 12' Guitar Cable, Straight To Straight Plugs Had mine for 11 months. Started making intermittent noise, which would go away if I jiggled the ends. Became less intermittent and more continuous. I am sending it back for a replacement by Monster under its Lifetime Warranty. Hopefully the replacement lasts longer. Meanwhile, I will play through my 20-year old Whirlwind cable, until the new Monster Rock cable arrives. Disappointed in NJ! Rating: 1 (A.

Monster Cable Is a great cable, no fuzz or static, difficult to have it broken or damaged. Almoust imposible as a matter of fact. Rating: 5 (Daniel Henriquez, 2008-05-27) Product reviewed: Monster M ROCK-12 1/4-Inch Rock Instrument Cable (12 Feet)
