Bear in mind I have only owned this cable for one day. This is my initial impression.
Why I bought this cable - Put simply, I needed an extension cable to go from my computer to my bed so I could put a second monitor by the bed and use my computer there. I do not like to disturb other people with my entertainment so I use headphones.
My initial intent was to simply buy a cable that was long enough and would work and was cheap. After a quick scan of what Amazon has available, I was ready to buy a reasonably long cable for about $4 shipped. Then I had second thoughts. I was prepared to accept a cable that didn't last a long time (most headphone cables don't, as a general rule). I was not willing to accept a cable that had serious flaws or didn't work right out of the box.
Unfortunately, these days, 3.5mm plugs are not all created equal and you can easily end up with a plug that will not grip well enough to withstand any movement at all. That's to say you'll plug your headphones in and the first time you move, the plug will pop out or you'll get noise from the sloppy connection.
So I did NOT want to spend ANY amount of money on a cable that would take days to get here and then not serve the basic function I intended it to. I don't like to return things I bought online. Especially things that don't cost much. It's just a hassle.
After some browsing and reading probably more reviews than I wanted to read about headphone cables, I found this. I've honestly never heard of this company but they had a lot of glowing reviews (for the price) and the cable appears to be made well enough in the photos. Again, every headphone cable I've ever had broke down eventually. It seems to be a matter of about 2-3 years. Usually the get stiff near the stress points close to the plug and eventually, the conductors inside will break. This is why you should never buy an expensive set of headphones that doesn't have a cable you can easily replace. I don't care how much you paid for the headphones. That cable probably WILL break down eventually. It's just the nature of them.
So, with that in mind, my goals here were as follows...
1. To not pay too much for a cable that's going to take some abuse and likely break down in a couple of years.
2. To get reasonable quality for the money.
3. To not buy something that didn't work for me right out of the box.
This cable meets all of those goals. I could see as soon as I took it out of the package that the quality is very good for the price. I looked it over and checked to see how flexible the jacket is and how solid the connectors appeared to be. One of the main hallmarks of a poorly made cable (in my experience) is a thin cable that has a relatively stiff jacket that will kink the first time you bend it too far. This cable seems thicker than most inexpensive cables and the jacket is very nice and supple. For a cable that's 25 feet long, this thing doesn't tangle as easily as you would expect. Never a bad thing.
At any rate, after checking it out, I really did not have any doubt that when I plugged it in it would have a nice, snug, secure fit and that's exactly what happened. As far as the sound quality? I'm not an audiophile. To my ears, the sound quality using AKG K240 headphones was identical. I can't hear any noise or interference or anything that shouldn't be there. This is more than good enough for general use. And I mean, I mostly watch Youtube videos so that's not going to push things into territory where subtle differences might even be noticeable.
Conclusion - I'm satisfied. No one likes nasty surprises when they buy things online and I didn't have any with this product. Honestly, I think if this cable cost twice what it does I wouldn't really be able to find anything bad to say about it other than I wish it didn't cost so much to get a perfectly decent product.
I doubt I could have found anything this good for this price locally. I didn't actually try but I've paid $30 for very basic cables at places like Best Buy in the past. If this cable lasts 3 years I'll be happy. I will likely buy another one if/when it breaks. Again, the fact that it probably will eventually is not really a con at this price.

Oversized Connection Points
I purchased this so my parents could watch TV in separate rooms without having a volume war. It connected to the television audio out port easily and reaches across the room to connect to headphones. The sound travels through it well but you can only change the volume if the headset you are using has that capability, there is no native volume adjustment on the connector. Only gave four stars because if the audio ports on the TVs were in a different location the extra metal around the connection could make it difficult to plug in.
