Good for casual use
I bought a few of these a while back.
When I was using them in my little home set up, they were absolutely fine and I would recommend them in this setting.
Anyway, they somehow ended up in our studio and that was where the cost-cutting showed a bit.
After just a while being used in a more frequent setting, the connectors started to show degradation, then after a few months became sporadic with an intermittent failure. Having checked the soldering joints, everything seemed fine so the problem is probably with the cable itself, to be fair, now heavily used.
So.....for home use, with one careful user, absolutely great and a good budget option but if you need something for regular live, studio or location work, it would be better to go for something a bit further up the chain.

Standard mic cable, cheap as hell
XLR cable for 5€? Well in my country you have to buy 20€ for a single cable with half of the quality of this. OK, this is not studio quality but good enough for live applications. Sturdy, and the color is nice as well.

Fits a bit loose
It's a decent cable but I only this for speaker connections now because the connector seems a bit loose when I connect to mics and DI boxes

Good for the price
I use this cable and a similar yellow one in "domestic" sets, about once per week.
The cable itself is a bit stiff, therefore not easy to wind properly, but I'm fine with that.
I was a bit more disappointed by the connectors. One year before I bought two 10 meters version of the same item and, while the stiffness of the cable was similar, the connectors were fine. This time it was not so. I stopped using these ones with a couple of t-bone SC140, because I have the feeling that they wearere too "challenging" for the structure of the microphones; they are hard to insert and even harder to detach. Now I use the two SC140 with cables with cheap Neutrik connectors, and these ones plug in and out easily. I keep using this SM6BL and its SM6YE brother with a pair of Rode M5, which are tank solid and it feels they have no problems with the extra force needed.

A mid-quality wire
The nice thing about these wires is that you can buy them in different colors. I really love the blue-colored wire that gives it a fat plus!
The sound quality is acceptable for a wire in this price category, at least as far as I can judge it as a beginner on the mic.
The quality is medium, as it twists easily in itself.
I just use it at home for recording, so I can't see a big problem for me. But if you take it on the road, I wouldn't be too surprised, if the "skin" would tear apart somewhen.
Personally, I would be happy, if the wire would also feature a wire holder, so it doesn't tangle up that easily, but that would only be a nice detail and is not a must.

Good but not great
Cheap, but you get what you pay for. Jacks aren't great.

Really affordable.
Cant see any bad property really. Maby a little bit plastic like cover of the wire, but no problem at all. For that price..Good enough for me.

Good, but..
I got these to replace another pair of the same wire that became faulty soon after the first few uses other that that these are a great buy for the money.

sssnake XLR cable (blue)
Work fine and good value for money, not quite as robust feeling as some cables though. Having different colours to the omnipotent black can be useful when plugging onto the PA or stage box.
