Zeskit silver-plated copper 3.5mm jack-to-jack cable


Rating: 5/5

Review:
Very good quality cables



Zeskit kindly sent me a couple of these cables for review.  I think they are very good; the materials are high-quality and they are well made.

The cables are nicely presented in a smart box (which may be slight overkill for a headphone cable) and look very nice themselves.  The straight plug is very nicely finished in whichever colour you chose; I have silver and dark grey which both look very smart. It has a step-shape which enables it to fit a lot of socket designs.  The right-angle plug is robust plain black plastic.  Both plugs have a very solid feel with good strain relief and gold plating on the contacts and they slide very nicely into and out of all the sockets I have tried.  The cable is sheathed in a ridged plastic which is nicely flexible and doesn't tangle much and which has very little friction noise when in use.

Whether these cables will transform the sound of your headphones is debatable; I have used them to connect my Hifiman Supermini player to Cleer DJ High-Definition headphones, which is a pretty good quality combination.  The cables certainly do a very good job, but I can't really say that they improve the sound massively - they are probably more a part of a sort of Dave Brailsford package of "aggregation of marginal gains."  However, they are very good quality cables which will certainly do a good job and should last very well.  Recommended.
