no consistent quality, but otherwise very good ...

... Which is why I decided for a 4 star in the result.

First: the cable is one of the few with a very thin grip on the 3,5mm plug. While it would still thin but here we really have to do it with a good compromise. The thin handles should fit into each recess, where's due to the mounting structure (ie everything related to the appropriate connector, eg for headphones, players, etc.) to go tight.

The ports themselves are hard gold plated, the connector provides a neat and effective strain relief. Theoretically, the handles might still be a little shorter, clearly, they are not overly long by far.

I have also this kind of cable "Cable direct", which can also be found on Amazon. Besides the fact that the grips are thicker here, and the cable itself is thicker. The UGREEN cable is so thin, easily compared and therefore is more suitable for (mobile) headphones.

So far everything well - so why the low price only 4 stars?

I bought at the same time 2 cable, 1m and 2m length.
When 1m cable are (both) handles the actual connector not exactly centrally, ie turning the plug in the socket, "wobbles" the handle slightly - but not much noticeable. At 2m cable everything clean.
The 2m cable is slightly thinner than the 1m variant - you can tell surely only when both are adjacent and ...
the 2m cable has a different insulation, is rough and gummy in the hands than the 1m variant.

Means to me: UGREEN leaves the Assembling cables within certain parameters.
Renowned manufacturers always offer the same cable, no matter how long it is.

Sure, these are all details that should not interfere one way or another ... but as I said, they are adjacent ...
Otherwise, for the price in absolute green area.
