Price is steep, but warranty and quality are great

Monster Cable Guitare RockPublished on 03/21/11 at 21:56
Monster Rock instrument cables are well crafted and use high quality materials. Monster has all sorts of fancy jargon to talk up their product, such as:

MicroFiber® inner dielectric provides better isolation of magnetic fields for improved harmonic detail.
•Multiple Time Correct® windings phase align signal for natural reproduction of midrange frequencies.
•24k 1/4" gold contact connectors with collar strain relief are durable and corrosion resistant.
•Extra-flexible Duraflex® outer jacket for superior reliability and cut resistance.
•IsoTec® vibration isolation technology further reduces handling noise.

(The above specs were taken from the Monster website, of course)

What does all that mean to a working musician? Well, they are built tough, and sound great.
Though, the best thing about buying a Monster product is the lifetime warranty. Buy the cable, keep the receipt and if your singer steps on the connector and breaks it, or they just wear out over time, bring it back to the store and get a new one, no questions asked (usually). I have run into a couple of dopey sales people that didn't understand the warranty and gave me some trouble, but eventually I got my new cables.

I've never actually had one fail on me. I just like to get fresh ones every so often. I often hear people bash Monster and say that their whole sales strategy is a scam and that their products are crap. I disagree. Yes, they are a bit overpriced, but as a gigging guitarist, I like the idea of being able to throw my cables in my road cases and not have to worry about buying new ones if they fail. (which they have yet to do)

Before using Monster, I was using a combination of Spectraflex cables and some home-made cables that I made out of cheap materials. The Spectraflex cables look really cool with the woven jacket, but I've had more than one BRAND NEW Spectraflex patch cable cause my signal to cut out when pressure was put on the ends of the wire near the connectors. That's not cool. Also, it seems that the Spectraflex cables weren't allowing all of the frequencies to be heard from my guitar and amp. I actually got so used to the boxy, heavy mid sound that when I first plugged in using my new Monster Rock cable, I didn't like it. It was as if my sound was too big. A lot of lows and highs were coming through that weren't before. I quickly got used to the new and improved tone and now I love the pristine and clear character I get from my instrument and rig! I am currently using and abusing a couple 12 footers, a 21 footer and several patch cables depending on what rig I'm playing.

The handling noise, or the noise when moving around on stage or physically bumping, moving or stepping on the cable is much reduced now also compared to my previous cables. The Monster Rock has a very sturdy and thick outer jacket that looks and feels solid and provides minimal unwanted noise.

I've tested other cables and read plenty of reviews of higher priced cables that claim to be superior to the Monsters, but for my needs Monster Rock cables deliver consistently clear and punchy tone night after night and I have the peace of mind that the warranty is there to back up my purchase. If you run a pro studio, I'd recommend buying the absolute top of the line cables that money can buy, but if you want a great sound and a reliable product with a great warranty, the Monster is a smart buy.

Expensive and Overrated, but sometimes worth it for the warranty

Monster Cable Guitare RockPublished on 10/20/10 at 13:49
These are a pretty excellent cable. In fact, they have some of the most expensive and advanced materials in their construction. Also, far more care is placed into manufacturing each cable than is typical of manufacturers like Horizon or other, cheaper cable companies.
Another positive thing that these cables have going for them is that they are warranty protected (at least in the United States, I don't know about Europe or Asia, or even if these are available in those continents.) A good consumer who saves receipts and continuously shops at the same music store will only have to buy one cable, and then can replace it whenever the cable that he or she bought wears out or stops working...…

Another positive thing that these cables have going for them is that they are warranty protected (at least in the United States, I don't know about Europe or Asia, or even if these are available in those continents.) A good consumer who saves receipts and continuously shops at the same music store will only have to buy one cable, and then can replace it whenever the cable that he or she bought wears out or stops working perfectly. However, I've noticed that these cables don't really start to fail that quickly, in fact they last a really long time.
I will say this, however. I work at a really high-end studio, and I noticed that we don't carry Monster cables. When it comes to sound quality, they are probably better, but not noticeably so. We use far cheaper cables than Monsters at the studio. We do, however, have the advantage of having a desk in the back where we can solder them in case they break, and we can basically rebuild them when they fail.
I'd only recommend this to somebody who has neither the time nor the ability to solder their own cables. A professional who tours constantly might not benefit from this as the warranty only applies to the store where you originally bought the cable. If you are in another city and need a new cable you'll need to shell out money again. An amateur who plays locally, on the other hand, would benefit greatly. In short, it's only a certain person who'd benefit greatly from this type of cable, but it's arguably perfect for that kind of customer. Studios should stick to cheaper options that they can fix themselves.

I finally decided to buy a monster cable, calm price a little but once you bough his guitar with the beast, one is more content to the financial effort that has just 'carry out.

Dj jack while gold has much bling bling tape has it, what we like is that the branch redfinis the sound perfectly, with a low jack range or made is very bad, the sound takes another turn and becomes extremely prcis is quite impressive.

Less ... well rather less, like what the cable attnue the electromagnetic waves and all the other sorry I have more names in head, thank you the b ^^ mensongre pub.

So forcment was still expensive for a jack, but it is reasonable for the sound that arrives to obtain.

With experience, yes I would choose, the problem you just go on course to say dpenser about 60 euro for a jack. A bit better than the planet waves (dj -C those are not bad counted about 30 euro), it's downright stunning, and makes the sound more pleasant and prcis.

10 years of use unfortunately. So I'll be a little hasty and radical but these cables are not worth Tripette.

I discovered almost by accident by selling my guitar ESP Eclipse I was disappointed to purchase a Gibson USA Standard (what a gem!) That its all my fault and without clarity or dark terrain were not my guitar or my belongings but those damn cables which sold over a fortune (they unsuspecting guys). This is actually gradually removing my patch Planet Waves cables one by one I realized how a simple cable chow sound. Then try I bought the Mogami 2524 cable by the meter (you'll laugh) at ... € 3.20 meter with Neutrik jacks on audiophonics.fr website (very serious and fast seller) that I weld myself. I thought at worst it will not cost me much to try. Race results, I quickly sold my Monster Cable cables (sorry to say) to ignorant fans who go too much hassle to ask why their sound is awful. So again Monster Cable is not worth half the price they charge. It's a shame Marketing World Company avoid emergency. I finally rediscovered how sounds a delay or reverb in an effects loop (I'm ashamed to say) but it's true. So, I had to say because it seems to me essential to be aware of these simple things that greatly improve your sound without breaking the bank.
