pro snake TPM 10

I bought about 20 of these in various lengths 9 months ago, mostly 6m and 10m, trusting in Thomann's usual good value for money products.

First red flag was that they came squished into oblong shapes from the factory packaging, meaning they wouldn't coil properly. I had to squish them the other way with pvc tape and leave them for a few days to try to get them to take a round-er shape (which sort-of worked). Other than this they looked like quality cables and well put together.
After 2-3 gigs however, they started breaking.

Specifically, the female connectors gave me the typical 'dodgy lead' distorted sound, especially when used on vibrating sources - specifically on drums. Soundcheck would be fine, but mid-show at least one would give up and I'd have to run on stage to change cables mid-show. Nothing wrong with the soldering connections - btw the heat shrink is a nice touch, acting like extra strain relief; it's the connector itself that is not robust enough and keeps breaking.

I keep replacing the female connectors, as soon as they break, with Amphenol connectors and most of these cables that I've bought now have Amphenol female connectors. Stay away from these unless you plan on replacing all connectors from the get go.

The sound quality, which is obviously the most important consideration, is very good on these products. So if that's all you're interested in, then you will like this product. But that is not what I have an issue with. My concern is the handling quality of the cable. I prefer a loose, free-moving cable which can be wrapped up neatly and easily without kinking or tangling. That is what I have come to expect from the pro snake range until now (for example the 3 metre angled female cable which I use several times a week - no. 274691. These are really excellent cables). But it seems that the cable used in these 10 metre cables has been changed to a tighter, more rigid cable which is very inclined to kink. Unless they revert back to the better quality cable, I will not be recommending these to anyone or buying them again myself.
