Rean NYS 240 BG

Used to fix a headphone extension cable.
Pros:
+ Easy to solder to
+ great build quality
+ ok strain-relief

cons
- none really

Note that 3.5mm jacks aren't the most durable design, but a Neutrik connector will last longer than others.

Rean 3.5mm plug. Despite generally a good item, soldering can be a bit difficult and the contacts are not really strong so be aware.

I used this conector to make an extension cord for in-ear monitors to use on stage. Didn't want to strap on me headphone amp box, so left it on pedalboard and ran wire parallel to guitar wire. After 2 year long regular use on stage gigging, still going strong.

Pros: high quality, durable, easy to solder, cheap
Cons: none

This jack adapter has a nice tight fit with most headphones, but it was really difficult to solder properly. This is because the slots for the L/R hot wires are slightly angled and very close to one another. It would have been nice had these been just a few millimeters further apart, hence the 1-star deduction. Once in place, it works fine, though.

I don't know how good the quality is but since it's used on Cordial cables, so most probably it's good enough. Not that easy to solder for someone with sausage fingers ;)

This plug is ready for recycle heading towards the trash bin.

The plastic inside melted after a resolding operation, making it unusable. The jack cannot get in, the stereo is lost and so on and so on.

The plug itself, when the protective plastic does not melt, is not bad. The gold plated contacts are good.

However the plug could provide better protection for the cable.
There is no strain relief to protect the end of the cable.

Maybe they could use a better plastic?
