– 2-Pack 3.5mm Auxiliary Audio Cable for Stereo Speaker or Subwoofer with Gold-Plated Plugs, 1.2 m, Black & Grey

🔊 Amazon Basics AUX Cable – Full Review This 2-pack includes male-to-male 3.5mm stereo audio cables, each measuring 1.2 meters (4 feet). They’re designed to connect smartphones, tablets, MP3 players, or laptops to car stereos, portable speakers, subwoofers, or any device with a standard AUX-in port. The cables feature gold-plated connectors for corrosion resistance and bevelled step-down plugs that ensure a snug fit—even in tight or recessed ports. The outer jacket is PVC-coated, giving it flexibility and tangle resistance without feeling flimsy. ✅ Pros 2-pack—great value for multi-device setups Gold-plated plugs—clean signal and corrosion resistance Bevelled step-down design—secure fit in tight ports Tangle-resistant PVC jacket—easy to manage Universal compatibility—works with any 3.5mm AUX port Lightweight and compact—ideal for travel or tool bags Affordable—typically around £11.30 ❌ Cons No braided shielding—less rugged than premium cables Basic packaging—no pouch or organiser included 1.2m length—may be short for some setups No inline controls or mic—strictly audio transmission 🧠 Personal Verdict This cable’s a proper plug-and-play solution. I’ve used similar ones for site radios, van setups, and speaker rigs, and they hold up—clean sound, no static, and easy to stash. The bevelled plugs are a win for tight sockets, and the gold plating keeps the signal crisp. For under £12, it’s a smart grab for anyone who wants reliable audio without overthinking it.

Sound quality is very good

On first inspection the cable appears very thin, despite this, it is the correct length however. When testing I found that the cable did suffer slightly from emf noise as I suspect that there is a low quality or inadequate shielding around the audio channels and this would explain why the cable is so thin. For the price point, I would expect a better quality shielding on this specifically as it is an Amazon branded own product and other Amazon owned branded products I have had in the past. I have not had any issues with and I've always found it to be good quality but unfortunately that is not the case this time. For my intended use, I will keep hold of the cable. However, if you are after something where the audio quality does matter, then I would suggest looking for different cable

Bought these for connecting an old iPod to a stereo. The cable length is good, the cable itself is a little stiff, but it may soften up after a while. The sound quality is nice though. I still think it’s madness that a 2 pack cost less than a single cable.

I bought this to replace a previous cable I was using to connect my Echo Dot to my stereo. The first cable worked fine but the sound was very quiet and required both device were turned up to almost full volume to get a half decent sound. I tried this cable just out of curiosity to see if there was a difference and the result was fantastic. No volume issues, everything sounds as it should and I was very impressed. It’s a well built cable, not the thickest and no braiding but it certainly works and I’d purchase other Amazon basic products if the quality is this good.

Exactly what it says on the tin. Works well 👍

It's a must have in any office and home.

Basic but works fine.
