Hosa CSS-830 1/4" TRS to Same Balanced Patch Cables, 1 Foot

Not a lot to say about these except they work as intended, seem well built and are at a decent price point. The varied colors makes it easier to keep the cable routing correct and organized in a compact portable audio recording rack setup. I'm using these to route audio from my audio interface and mic preamp to a patch bay for additional input/output routing options. So they are plugged in once and left alone for the most part. I have not noticed any noise or audio issues when using these cables. I tested all the cables upon receipt and they all tested ok. The only concern I would have is they are thin cables and might not hold up over time to a lot of plugging and unplugging but for my needs they are fine. On the other hand having the thinner cable makes it easier to use them in the tight space behind my gear in the rack.

This is the third set of Hosa patchbay connectors I’ve purchased as I now have two patchbays in use. These cables are long enough to work with both patchbays, but short enough that they don’t get in the way. Superior product at a very fair price.

Maybe I've been lucky, but after getting plenty of patch cables from Hosa (and expecting some to fail according to other reviews) I can say not a single Hosa wire has let me down.I use them in the studio, inside racks, etc... so there is not much movement, but the oldest ones I have are around 5-7 years and I expect them to keep going.

Plugs are fine but the cable leaves you wondering how long they'll last on the road. Best keep 'em on the studio for spares

HOSA never let me down. Length is perfect... tidied up my rig getting rid of a possible spaghetti factory ! While at first I was concerned about length of stress relief part of cable, turns out it makes for robust usage without worry! The colors really help when repatching as these are used for headphone amp patching in my remote recording rig👍🏼👍🏼

Decent little patch cables for the money. They have been holding up fine for shorter runs on the patch bay.

There are cheaper brands available but I know these are excellent so I stick with them, worth the price!

No problems. They work just fine.
