    Any opinions? They have a fair few under €10 but anyone any experiance with them, good or bad? Looking to get maybe 4 or 5 at around or below €10 a piece but they can be very hit and miss at that price. Too many end up going half way through a gig after about 2 months but they seem to have a few decent leads at around the €8 mark. Any suggestions/experiences would be great!

    Reasonable quaility but not great. Although the last one I bpught has lasted 4 months so far.

    I wouldn't bother with them. A few may last a bit longer than others but they'll all fail in the end, speaking from my experience with them. Quality just isn't there, and the screening on them isn't great so they might be nosier.

    I use KLOTZ cables for mic and guitar with NUTRIK jacks. I have the same 3 or 4 leads for the last 5 years and never let me down, A bit more expensive but well worth it! And if you are handy with the soldering iron you can buy it per metre from a roll and make your own, which would work out cheaper again

    I agree with the above post.. You're better off learning how to soldering them yourself.. You will save a fortune..

    Cheap Leads are Cheap for a reason,few gigs if you are lucky then they are gone,better off spending a few euro on good cables and have them a lot longer,Planet Waves have kits for making your own leads that are solderless (Expensive) and also their leads for around 30 euro are good and sturdy.I've learned the hard way over the years :)P

    I got a load of cheap leads off Thomann a few years ago as part of a large order. A few of them didnt work at all, and a few went after a couple of uses.

    Your better off shellin out a few extra quid and gettin something reliable. Works out cheaper in the long run anyway, and saves you the hassle of periodically going through all your leads to see which ones work!!
