[2pcs] 3.5mm Stereo Right Angle Male Plug and 3.5mm Stereo Straight Male Plug Gold Plated Solder Connector [Wv-lstp-2ls]

The right angle connector worked for me for a while but require a lot of various sizes of heat shrink tubing inside and out to make for a secure connection. In the end, the cable still got pulled in a way that broke it, but I won't blame the connector.The straight connector however was awful. There are no lugs on the tip and ring connectors, just bare metal. It's doable with some skill, confidence, and the right kind of headphone cable (enameled braid where the idea is to burn off the enamel while soldering the very end to the tiny bare metal spot on the connector). But, there are two very big problems:1) the tip and ring are not secure and actually rotate in the sleeve/body. this makes assembling the whole thing more difficult, especially when trying to securely screw it all together.2) The plastic parts of the plug that insulate and hold the conductors in place melt easily under the heat required for most lead free solder.If you buy this and you attempt to use the straight connector, I recommend leaded solder or using a very 'low' temp for unleaded solder. Furthermore, tin the very end of the wire with a very small amount of solder and try to connect it to the conductor in one go. Focus on making the connection small and clean rather than robust.You may also want to drop a dab of CA (super) glue along the inside to lock the tip and ring connectors into place. once all that's done, fill the connector housing with silicone, hot glue or similar before screwing on the metal cover. I would also recommend getting creative with heat shrink tubing for strain relief (make sure to thread these onto the cable before doing all the other stuff if you do)The connectors, especially the right angle one, are decent if you can get the solder job done. I wish there were better options in this price range, especially regarding the heat resistance of the plastic bits, but most of the onse I have seen on amazon look about the same.good luck.

5 star for the right angle. 3 stars for the straight.Both very well constructed and have nice clamping mechanism to keep everything in place (I suggest a bit of shrink wrap between the cable and clamp to make it very secure). The right angle one is a breeze to solder (accidently had to do it twice because I forget to put the cap on before soldering). It has eyelets for each of the wires, making it extremely easy to put in place and lay a bit of solder down.The straight one is a nightmare to work with. Only the ground has an eyelet. Left and right are on a pole and very difficult to work with. A little too much solder on the left connection and it's grounded. No fun.Both of the cases are very big and can support hefty cables. If you have a normal sized cable, it's best to wrap some electrical tape around or add some shrink wrap to bring the cable closer to the case.

I used the angled end to shorten the cable on my Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros, and it worked great. I'm giving this 4 stars for 2 reasons:1. There is no documentation on which tab is which, for either jack. The first time I soldered my leads on, left and right were flipped because I had the understanding that the short lead on the jack was right channel, and the middle tab was left, but there was no way of knowing with this jack. After putting it all together and doing some tests, I realized my understanding was wrong. Whoops....2. As an amateur solderer, I could not possibly imagine using the straight jack. It looks like a total nightmare to me. The angled jack is great - It has holes in the leads to put the cables through, they are nicely separated and insulated etc. The straight one looks like short city.

Uses one of these to repair some Bose ear buds when the original jack was ripped off. I prefer right angle jacks, especially for laptops with the ports on the sides. These are quality replacements, you can hardly tell the difference in terms of audio quality.Internally, the leads are decently spaced apart and not too hard to work with if you have just basic soldering equipment/skills.My only complaint is the size of the opening where the wire enters. Its gaping. It makes sense to accomodate all gauges of wire, but for your standard headphone/ear bud wire, it's pretty large. I used an o-ring to stablize the wire in the body of the jack, then filled it in with silicone to prevent any fatigue on the solder points and to keep the wire from rubbing on the edge of the sleeve/casing.Overall, the price is right, especially when it saves a $100 pair of ear buds.

It didn't come with the plastic insulation for either one. Nor did it come with any instructions. I wired the right angle and had the left and right backwards. I figured the straight one would be the same wiring pattern as the right angle. WRONG the second earbuds were the wrong sound again. Don't buy these.

Would give it 5 stars if they were both consistent. The right angle plug is excellent and has very easy to solder pins. The straight plug is terrible. They should either provide both plugs with the same easy solder tabs, or just leave the straight plug out.

Well built. As others referenced the angled version easier to solder. However both easily fit into iOS and android devices that are in cases when other connectors are too wide. This is the perfect size

Not bad. Only complaint would be it not having any strain relief. So you have to kind of build up your cable. In the end, it turned out fine. It proved its purpose.
