when everything’s super…

The few that I’ve used either require too much force to connect, or are just friction-fit only (like those Neutrik combo XLR + 1/4" receptacles you find on audio interfaces), but I’ll take your word for it. XLR looks like it should feel solid.

TRUE especially since the pins are tiny. I bent two of them inside the shroud somehow and they snapped, so now I only have one front USB 3.0 port.

  • Runner-up: Ethernet (RJ45), Apple 30-Pin (Locking)

• Worst audio connectors: cheap 3.5mm, spring clip terminal, binding posts (especially plastic knob ones)
• Worst residential AC plug: Europlug
• worst device-internal connectors: wire soldered through-hole, any Molex connector or power connector inside a computer
