Kind of pricey though. About 40 bucks for a cable.

Any thoughts?

I don't know. It just seems a little too "gimmicky" to me.

Dear Apple,

Thanks for the neat-o idea.

Love,

I don't really see the advantage. I've never had a serious problem with your standard 1/4 jacks.

honestly, the snap things look like they'd just cause more problems. I wouldn't want to come unplugged during a show or whatever. When I'm plugged in, I wanna stay that way.

One more video I saw, with a somewhat annoying camera operator.

The locking version looks really bulky... and I think it's a ridiculous price of around $80.

That first video was terrible.

When I saw the video company's name at the end of the video and I realized they actually paid for that amateur / low qual video, I had to laugh.

Isn't that the cable Dweezil Zappa endorses?

Re: Snap Jack Cable.

Thanks, Zzyz, for continuing to lower the intelligence/responsibility bar. I learned early to avoid tripping/yanking on a guitar cable. When wearing headphones it's hard not to be aware that they are still on your head, so "getting up and walking away" seems like the mark of incompetence to me.

I say, let people stick their fingers into fan blades, fail to use oven mitts, or even light a smoke at a gas station. They need the learning experience anyway.
