Bought this cable to replace a similar one I bought at a 99cents store that broke after 4+ years of use. I can't believe that I paid so much more for a cable that is of way lower quality. If I so much as touch the cord wrong the sound cuts outs. It works fine as long as you find the right position and don't move your laptop, iPod, etc. AT ALL. I would return it but it's not worth the hassle. I wouldn't recommend this cable to anyone
