Query: worse than a no-name 6-year old adapter

Sound quality is worse than that of a cassette adapter bought at Walmart some years ago. Unfortunately, I snapped a cable on that one so I had to replace it to play with my 2nd gen iPod Mini. Monster Cable iCarPlay cassette adapter was the replacement. I mostly listen to podcasts and audiobooks in the car, not music, so I do not care too much about sound quality. Speech is legible and thus acceptable to me, although it is a noticeable downgrade as compared to my old unit.What is not acceptable, however, is that the 3.5 mm plug does not fit the iPod's input snugly. As a result, even the slightest jiggling of the cord causes iPod to pause as if the cord was unplugged. This never happened to my old adapter, neither it ever happens to the iPod headphones, meaning that the cassette adapter is indeed poorly designed.
