Decent enough value XLR socket. While soldering it, the plastic parts seemed to melt a bit. Doesn't seem to have affected its performance, so I am not too worried about this but the other XLRs I was soldering at the same time did not show any signs of melting. Other than that, not much to say, it's a D size XLR socket, locks nicely with a couple of different XLR plugs and looks decent enough
