Not bad in my opinion for the price. Just ordered one. New Ipod Male Dock Line out to 3.5mm Audio Output Cable - eBay (item 350232585064 end time Aug-06-09 20:08:35 PDT)

How is it? I just got a 4th gen iPod, and I'm looking for a good, inexpensive LOD. Is it long enough to wrap around back to the top of the iPod? For that cheap, it looks like it's worth a shot.

according to the picture it might not work on my ipod touch 2g or the iphone 3g

I have not received it yet but i will let you know when i get it. I have ordered many non OEM cables and such from ebay cheep and only 50% of them work but they are a couple bucks shipped from hong kong so i dont expect much. But made in the USA i have a little more confidence

No offense to ppl from Hong Kong but thats my experience.

Its looks identical to my iPhone 3gs charging link cable and I emailed the guy and he said it works on all models. He makes them.

hmmmm... not bad for 12 bucks

well I made mine and I had to put a resistor for it to work on my ipod touch 2g. I did not see a resistor in the picture so I thought it might not work. That is good that it works for all model.

I Just got it in the mail and hooked it up to My Iphone 3gs--fiio e5 to my ESW9"s and it sounds awesome. No hiss like with the headphone line out and its seems to be built very well out of good materials. Very well worth it.

Good to know. I went ahead and bought a more expensive shorter one off ebay. The 12 inch cable length is just too long for my setup right now. I'm not saying it's bad in any way, just that it's too long for my current setup. Maybe he designed it to be more suitable for hooking it up to a car stereo since he sells car stereo equipment.

Agreed, it is too long

I was just curious as to what it would sound like without the headphone jack without spending the money. It would be nice if it was shorter. I didnt realize it was that long untill I got it. I will get a shorter one someday. If you would mind posting the listing of the one you got I would like to see it.

This one. It's definitely worth $30 (it costs more than what I paid for my iPod

), but I don't see much of a point in paying more for a similar LOD. The only improvements I could suggest for this LOD would be making it more low-profile and putting some sort of casing over the braided wires (or would that make it sound worse?). Even that's not a big deal, and I'm happy with it. It's much better than the headphone out, and I think it sounds slightly better than my Zune.

Maybe someone could suggest to the $13 LOD seller to make some that are much shorter?
