Cable Matters 2-Pack Gold-Plated Retractable Aux Cable - 2.5 Feet

My kindle will not connect by bluetooth to my car to play over the speakers. I read some advice in researching this to see if you could connect using an audio cable and bought this for that purpose. It does work. I can play audio books from my kindle through my car speaker. I like the length of the cord and that this retracts. It worked very well for us on a long car ride with a passenger to operate things and manage the cable. The cable is delicate. It quickly developed a problem where the kindle had to be supported at a certain angle to play through the speakers. Considering the cable is retractable and meant to be coiled and that it was handled gently, I was not impressed by that. Guess that is why they are sold in a pack of two. Nevertheless. it worked, I still have a cable to use next time we go on a long car trip and want to listen to audio books, and I didn't pay a fortune for it.

Using for soldering iron cabling so there isn't a bunch of loose cable. works fantastically.

This is a springy spooly thing that stretches into a headphone audio jack. They are so convenient—cord, instantly gone with just a slight tug, like magic. it’s sadly anything but that and I think that comes down to a flaw in engineering. Metal wires which carry electrical signals and sound probably should not be folded and spun and twisted and tugged in this way, right? I think that’s why 2 of them come in a pack. I had one break on me a while ago and now I’m on my 2nd pack. After a little practice you get used to using them and it’s becomes second nature. Every now and then you can’t help but tug or pull on the cord, and every time you pray to god you didn’t snap the wire. I think there is a reason 3.5mm audio cables are never so flat, if that makes sense. If you’re not worried about something that might break, you could do worse than these windy-stretchy audio cables.I can’t speak to their audio quality but to me, it’s “good I guess.” Handy and the pros outweigh the cons, especially for small home theater headphone setups. You can just leave them plugged in because they retract… I like them a lot.

Work great, retractable; good quality

Not much to say besides they work. They don't feel like a "premium" corded product, but at this price I didn't expect them to. They do feel like they'll hold up fine for a time. Good for the last few weeks so far.I do wish there were a few more stops to fine tune the length when you pull it out.

These cables are great. They are a little bit bigger than the other cheaper versions that you can get here. But you can really tell that they are of way better quality. Compared to the cheaper $2-$3 ones that I've bought before, the wires or at least the insulation are thicker, the click mechanism is way better. You can feel them and it's easy to retract. Then you have the plugs themselves. The way it's designed, makes it way easier to plug into phones that have cases. Also, at the end where the flat cable is attached to the plug is way more durable. That's where the other cheap ones failed out.

I needed something to hook my older phone to my older truck stereo. I am not happy with lots of wire clutter and wanted to find something like this to address that issue. The re-coilers work effectively and have multiple holding spots for different lengths and work consistently. The wires are small so you can sneak them out of a console box if that is where your auxiliary port is on your vehicle. Overall very happy with performance of the retractors and the sound quality transmitted through the wire.

Works very well better than anything else I've ever bought.
