I needed a cable with a small diameter plug at the body because I added a shell to my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S4) which prevents the standard Sheets returned: the release (hole) is in the hull diameter is too small, so it hangs, I was obliged to systematically removing the shell was annoying ... With this cable, more concern, it fits nickel ... This cable does not exist cards Male / Female (damage), so I bought more a female adapter / socket 3.5 mm that allows me to plug anything: my helmet (with his big bulky sheet) or a cable to my amp .. . The air rather tough, with his sheath kind of braided nylon, yarn is thin, not hyper flexible (you can not have everything) must know this is short .. for me is all good ..
