Comments about Hosa Technology Stereo Mini Angled Male to 3-Pin XLR Female Cable - 5':
I bought this product to use with a Sennheiser ME66/K6 combo connected to a Sony PCM-M10 recorder. While the cable is small, portable, and lightweight, the signal quality is very. very poor. I cannot get a clean recording without the signal cutting out and the sound cracking constantly. The XLR connecting sleeve is very loose on this product, which leads to the cable wobbling around and consequently the signal quality being very poor.

Comments about Hosa Technology Stereo Mini Angled Male to 3-Pin XLR Female Cable - 5':
I love the angled microphone input!
I hate that the cable was made in Thailand---my B&H microphone was made in the US and I really appreciate that. I wish they would consider the same quality etc to other products too.
So far the cable fits securely into the mic--my old cable ripped while I was taking it out of the mic socket and it would snap and pop.
Let's see how this holds up. I mostly use it outside in the field and sometimes for indoor interviews.

I use this cable with a portable recorder and mic to do interviews for radio pieces. I'm on the move, so an angled cable minimizes the likelihood of damage to the cable as a result of bending during repeated use.

Comments about Hosa Technology Stereo Mini Angled Male to 3-Pin XLR Female Cable - 5':
I bought this exact cable nearly five years ago, and it worked like a charm until... it didn't. Perhaps a wire came loose. All I know is that some of my interviews began being interrupted by a cackling and crackling, and sometimes would dip out all-together.
I just bought another, and I'm back to perfect sound.

Comments about Hosa Technology Stereo Mini Angled Male to 3-Pin XLR Female Cable - 5':
This is a great simple solution if you have a video camera that only has a 1/8" mic jack. This cable is specifically for turning mono into stereo, which applies to almost all microphones. So unless you know you are using a special stereo mic, this is the adapter you want.
The only negatives have yet to surface. I have owned it about a month.

- Consistent Performance
