It's a shame that such nicely built cables don't have the durability one would expect them to have
Despite the very sturdy design and high purity copper used in these cables, I must warn potential buyers that these are NOT reliable cables, particularly the male to male cable. Fortunately, my Zeskit male to female extension cable is still working after some months of use, but I have now gone through not one, but TWO male to male Zeskit cables that both mysteriously began to lose connectivity to my headphones after 2 to 4 months of use each. The second time this happened, I assumed it was a problem with the female jack of my MSR7's, but after swapping it out for Audio Technica's included audio cable, I quickly realized to both my relief and disappointment that it was the Zeskit male to male cable that was at fault. Don't be fooled by the positive reviews for these cables, most of them were provided said cables from Zeskit free of charge in order to get some positive reviews out of them. In addition, it's unfortunately very common for positive reviews on a faulty product to be written shortly after the reviewers have received said product rather than waiting an appropriate length of time to gauge the durability or lack thereof for the item in question.

UPDATE 4/29/2016
On April 3rd I got an email (sent through Amazon) from Zeskit customer service asking me to, **when I read between the lines, basically take my review down or alter it to be more positive in exchange for some replacement cables. The representative had said that Zeskit had strengthened the male ends of the cables and initially I was going to take my review down, but then I checked the 1 and 2 star reviews to see if any recent reviews had been submitted. Unsurprisingly, a number of reviews had been written describing the same problem I experienced with both of the male to male cables I ordered, so until these so-called changes to the product are reflected in the reviews, I will NOT take my review down. The only way this review is going down without such changes being reflected in the reviews themselves is if Zeskit decides to censor me directly. This is the only critical review I've written for an Amazon product that has clearly resonated with customers in a significant way and warned presumably quite a few potential customers away from an untrustworthy company.
