yes very reliable and high quality

I've been using the Essential XLR Microphone Cable in both my home studio and on-location shoots, and it's quickly become my go-to. The sound quality is crystal clear with zero hum or interference—even when stretched across longer distances. You can tell the shielding is high-quality. What really impressed me is the build. The connectors snap firmly into place, and the cable itself feels solid without being too stiff. It doesn't kink easily and wraps up cleanly every time. Whether you're a content creator, podcaster, musician, or working in pro audio, this cable delivers the performance and reliability you need. It's rare to find something this affordable that performs like a premium product. Highly recommend.

The packaging almost made me rage quit.

Dude. The 7, or however many zip ties you guys put on this, are completely unnecessary. Also, frustrating as a consumer to have to struggle with. They are SO thick and I literally broke 2 pairs of scissors AND bent a knife trying to cut the product I bought out of it's packaging. Regular zip ties I'm sure, would be enough to ward off people stealing it. Even, TWO of those down with the thickness zip ties!? Nope, no, no one is getting those off without causing a scene. Unnecessary and literally makes me never want to buy this brand again lol. Cord works great. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

    Livewire has a lifetime warranty so if you have the proof of purchase then you should have no problem getting a replacement.
