For real? Has it been documented somewhere? I don't have any of their products (and never will), so I can't test it myself. That's horrible if it's true.

I've measured them myself. But I seem to recall them advertising it as a feature (go figure) to make their guitars work with jacks that were a little, ah, bent out of shape.

Last weekend I played an outdoor acoustic gig and the soundman didn't have enough mics so he gave me a monster cable to plug in my acoustic w/pickup. When the night was over I had a hell of a time getting the cable out of the jack. Neve had a problem with any other cable.
 
I've got some unbalanced 1/4" Monster cables that have outlived other cheap cables. (maybe not if I bought enough cheaper cables for the equivalent price) They came with some other used gear I bought. They are solid. And as others have said, they don't sound any better than the cheap ones. I don't think I could bring myself to buy them outright, but they have served me well.

I think Monster cable has a lifetime replacement warranty, if one of their cables goes bad you take it in to the store and they replace it. So in that respect Monster is better.
