Brilliant!
So i just made 100 meters of XLRs using the Sommer cables and the gold plated black Neutrick ends.
I figured that after i had made all of these the last thing i would want is a bag with a spaghetti monster in it, especially with other band members helping pack down gear and their terrible ability at coiling cables.
If your doing live sound or running a studio, you need cable ties! Not only do they preserve the lifetime of your cables but they make you look just that little bit more professional. Instead of your client or band members watch you wrestle the end out of a ball of string you can just set up, plug in and play.
The size on these is great for all cables, I use these with my 6 meter XLRs and my 15 meter ones and because these are so large they wrap around fine. Any excess length and you can just wrap it around the cable a few more times and stick in on with the Velcro.
Sometimes they slide off, i may have to go around my cables and superglue these on because they aren't the cheapest thing to just loose multiple lots off.
The build quality is great, just a big piece of Velcro onto some fairly stable material. The metal loop is of good quality and overall i cant see there being any problems.
Pros:
Good build quality
Helps you be professional
Extends lifetime of cables
Saves time uncoiling cables
Cons:
Expensive when you have to buy a few packs of these - worth it though
Get these to protect your cables and stop you spending hours uncoiling them! I use these for live gigs with a large pa and in the studio to keep things running smoothly and it's these little bits of gear that make a difference.

Highly recommend these Velcro straps
keep your wires neat and tidy with these super strong Velcro straps. I also use mine around speaker poles to hold XLRs in place rather than wiring dangling. Many sizes available.

Absolutely recommended!

essential to keep things tidy
If you're a cable nerd like me and have to wrap your cables correctly, you need velcro ties to tie them off properly and these are the best ones I've found as they actually stay on the cable all the time and wrap round easily. Should get at least a couple of years use before they give way but cheap enough to replace, Jjust wish Thomann did the extra big ones they used to do, ideal for thicker cabling

Little bit strange length
These velcro's are really sturdy.
If you follow the diagram then they will almost never let loose of the cable.
The lengt is a little bit long for short cables and a little bit long for long/bulky cables like power of speaker cables.
But they work really good.

Universal cable ties, not just for your gig or studio
I have a lot of these and you just can't get enough. Standard use would be on xlr and jack cables, but I use it about everywhere - power extensions, DMX cables, for cable management under work desk, even steam iron at home. These cable ties are sturdy and easy to use. Highly recommend.

Good quality, great price
I use those straps to keep my studio cables in order when unused, to organize them on floor, stick them to mic and speaker stands... I even used them to hold bags on my bicycle frame.
They are turbo powerful, never let me down.
Just one minor thing - when unrolling the cables, keep in mind to take the strap off first and hold it in your pocket. They're little loose when left on unfolded wires and like to stick to carpets or other materials.

Very sticky and hard to open it. After opening a couple times its broke quickly. Maybe I use it for to small/thin cable roll. The sticky part gets too big.
