We are now offering these New Professional Series XLR Plugs by GLS Audio. These XLR plugs are the same high quality plugs that we offer on all our mic cables. They have a double strain relief (internal Tri-Grip and external rubber booty). As you can see in the above picture, the female locking end has a rubber grommet. This allows the ends to snap into place without being loose and sloppy like most other ends you may find.
