Cables for MH751

[Hassan170]

I own the Cooler Master MH751 and i use it with the Sound Blaster Play 4 USB sound card.

The stock cable is pretty long and the plastic around the connectors is very thick making it difficult to use with some devices.

Such as phone with a case on it. 

I bought a cable a month ago from UGREEN, a company with a pretty good reputation.

1 month later and I'm experiencing all kinds of issues.

The right side sounds louder than the left, there is noticeable distortion on the high end, crackling and in general not a good experience.< used on the laptop with the sound card. 

I tried to use it with my phone and it worked fine for the most part, but some issues like if I flex the cable or put stress on the connection with the phone volume becomes wonky and the audio becomes mumble/muffled. 

I was struggling to figure out what the hell was going on and was very frustrated I decided to go back to the stock cable. When I did everything worked fine. No audio hijinks, nothing.

Spoiler

Except when I used it with the sound card the volume was not as loud as it should have been.

 

When I used it with the ugreen cable I had to use the sound card at ~50% volume because it was loud af and when you crank it a 100% the headphones will blow out your eardrums.

 

But on the stock cable even at 100% it was nowhere as loud as the ugreen cable on 50%.

 

Not a problem for me but its something I was aware of. 

So now I'm trying to claim the warranty from UGREEN and hope that maybe I can get a replacement or refund.

 

But in the meantime could any of you suggest some good cables? Preferably 4-pole and short. Budget is about USD10 <point of comparison
