It works for the price, but...
I bought this cable together with my first pedals to connect from guitar to the pedals (used another cable that I already had for pedal -> amp). The length was also appealing as I know the struggles of using a 3m cable on stage.
The cable is very affordable compared to for example Fender cables. However the price reflects the quality - while I didn't find anything wrong with the signal (interference, hum, etc), the angled jack started malfunctioning after about a month of use and often wouldn't connect properly. At times it seemed that the problem was gone, but it kept coming back more and more regularly. By now I've replaced it with a higher quality one and I'm just keeping this one as a spare just in case.
Pros:
Very affordable
Cons:
Unreliable

It's Okay...
Low price, affordable and if we relate to quality it is just fine.
I would advise this cable quality only for a gentle use at home. If using it in your room, it's fine, but for heavier stuff like a garage, stage and so on seems to me it wouldn't survive that long. The weakest point is the plugs, every time I plug it to my instruments and unplug it, it feels like the jack is loose and a bit screwed out from the housing cap. Anyway, this is not a big problem, you just have to adjust it/tighten it every once in a while.
The cable does its job and price is friendly.
For costumers outside Europe, I advise shipping with UPS over DHL. UPS keeps control and safety of your parcel during the customs process, it is faster, trustable and they deliver to your door.

Use it sparingly
This cable sounds great, but it is quite thin, so it is easy to rip, and it can start crackling because it has not been reinforced with cloth or thicker rubber. The ends of the wires just wear out quickly with intense use.

This is a cheap and cheerful little lead, I wanted an angle lead for my Gibson ES335 and bought this to keep me going while I shopped around for a quality cable.
Quality wise this is just OK, it is after all only a light duty cable, it's fine for home use but won't take a lot of abuse.
I do find the angled jack housing unscrews from time to time but other than that it's been fine for a couple of years.
It's quiet, no excessive hissing or crackling.
My main hard use leads are Whirlwind, there is no comparison here but then there is no comparison in price either, this is a fine little lead for light use but I wouldn't dream of gigging with it.

Good backup!
So for the price this is never going to be the best cable. It is a bit thin and I suspect it may break after being chucked in and out of gig bags every weekend. That being said, for the price, it's hard to complain! It does what it says on the tin and it's difficult to find cables of a high quality for this price, so you can't expect too much. Mine came with one of those little velcro ties on it to keep it tidy, which is, of course, a bonus in trying to combat the spaghetti monster! Worth buying I'd say.

It is mostly alright but not professional
Not a bad cable for the price. My only issue is it being called 'professional': I doubt a professional would be satisfied with the quality of the rather flimsy half plastic angled jack.

It works but...
Personally, I do not really like this cable. The plastic of the cable is to soft, and whenever I move around it gets all tangled, making it not really comfortable.
If you want to use this cable for an instrument with which you are planning to move (guitar, bass and so on), I do not recommend it.
Beside this it works fine.

They work, for a while
Lasted about 11 months, but most of that time spent in a guitar case unused. Think I got about 9-10 gigs out of these before they died? Not particularly happy. Spend the extra cash on Fender cables with the lifetime warranty.

Get what you pay for
This cable has a great price tag, but there's a reason for it. It has lasted long enough for it to be a good buy but the quality of both the plugs and the cable isn't great. The L-jack has broken while I'm always very careful with my gear and the cable isn't so sturdy, making it hard to roll.

This is a farly good budget lead, not one I would rely on for giging though as mine broke (during a gig) within six months of purchase. It's worth spending a little more and getting a better quality lead if you can afford to do so.
