CableWholesale XLR Female to 1/4-Feet Mono Male Adaptor (30XR-12200)

Whats not to love, inexpensive, and does it's job....After reading some of the rather poor reviews, I checked it out for signs of poor quality or workmanship... Only thing I found was that the pin rockrd a bit... there were three screws in the body that I used a screwdiriver to tighten up.. .I suspect that complaints of falling apart could have been from missing or loose screws... Not much of a chore. I did back out the screws a bit and added a drop of clear nail polish on the threads for some insurance that it would not loosen up...Anyway, that is the view from where I sit...Just got it and used it, I will add to the post if things turn bad..

Fragil

This is again another steel ball that is very difficult to damage. The connection to my microphones to the input jacks worked very well.

I see mixed reviews here. At this price, no telling what the quality control is like but as I wrote in another review on this type of item, you can buy 3 of these and if one fails, you're still ahead of the game. They're so much less expensive than what one will typically find in a guitar or electronics store, well worth taking a chance. Mine seems to be fine, doesn't look or feel flimsy at all. I can't see any difference between this and what I buy in a retail package.

These are good little adapters, but are not usable for Hi-z to Low-z applications(guitar to mixer line in). They are solid, and well made, but do not have the transformer in them to eliminate high output buzz.

I've literally never written a review for an Amazon product, though I purchase hundreds or more of dollars through Amazon each year. I'm a 30+ year veteran musician, so I have strong feelings about poor quality products. I'd hoped to save some money buying these Chinese knock-off adapters - bad move. I ordered a pair. Within about 3 months, one of them had broken - the guts fell right out. I attributed it to some right angle torque on the 1/4" end, so I ordered another (and a right angle 1/4" adapter to boot, to keep the torque off). Today that replacement broke as well, after only about 2 months normal use. (By normal, keep in mind, we're using them to adapt Shure mics down from cannon to 1/4" to play some home Karaoke. They've probably got about 6-8 uses on them before they break. They're cheap, for sure, so buying one every three months and letting it break may be okay for some folks. But it's getting old for me. Going to step up (in quality, and no doubt, price). Use these at your own risk.

The reviews for this item seem to be generally pretty good. How could they not be? It's such a basic device, no moving parts. It's an adapter. There's not much to get wrong. BUT, with mine, the 1/4" jack is either mildly warped or a little thick, out of round, or something because it does not plug in easily to any of my amps and because you basically have to force the snug connection, the end is beginning to come loose. I wouldn't bother returning it since it's only fifty-five cents, but maybe I'm just reporting that, in hindsight, I should have bought four or five of them, thrown the ill-fitting ones away and still ended up ahead.

Loved every minute of this shopping experience. Easy to order, cheap as sin, and came in next to no time. First off, it's solid. Nice heft to it and you don't think your going to break it going into your cord. Works great, obviously not pro quality. If you're looking for pro quality then you probably have xlr jacks available for you. But it's great for stop gap measure. Works great.

It were in good shape as described.

Good product. Cheap price.

Does not fit well on 1/4" side. Would not buy again.
