  1. Geee

    First time using an optical cable and the sound quality is great.

  2. Pibe

    Great product and the price was not expensive, very good price.

  3. Tommy

    A lot easier to use one cable instead of having to use multiple ones

  4. David123

    Good optical cable that reproduces video accurately

  5. Jeff

    Needed an optical connect based on available connections and this was there, available and priced right. Has performed just fine in an application that would not justify a pricey cable.

  6. Georgie

    Serves it purpose, a bit pricey but worth it, rather than a cheap one

  7. Michelle

    Great product. It works well and we highly recommend.

  8. ROBIO

    Excellent quality, easy to install cable for pristine audio.

  9. Lindy

    Purchased this for setting up our new tv system
    Good quality

  10. Mrtdre918

    Superior sound Quality I’d buy this product again with my next tv purchase

  11. Plaayboi

    you can hear the difference! these provide better highs and allow you to turn the volume up higher before experiencing distortion than the cables that typically come with a soundbar or other such devices, would recommend to anyone with an ear for music.

  12. NmWC

    No problem with the cable. Works good for what I need it for.

  13. Spanky

    Came in handy for when i was troubleshooting my sound system. Got all my issues solved swapping over to this cable.

  14. Huxlin9

    After using a cheap Amazon basics optical cable coming out my tv to my integrated amp for a year I decided this was at the right price to give it a shot. Why not? I have audiophile grade equipment, so why would I want to cheat it out of a good connection? I didn’t expect a night and day difference and didn’t get it. At first I thought it might have made the sound a little lighter. It may have taken some warmth out. Over time I could tell I got more detail from the top end.

    My moment of appreciation was when testing it with Guardians of the Galaxy and the beginning scene where he pops in the tape and hits play; I could hear the wheels turn and squeak on his Walkman. Had never heard that before on my system and I know the movie pretty well.

    When playing music I can notice a little more air in the top end. Will anyone else notice the difference? No. But I do because I know my system pretty well. So overall this is one of those things that allows you to tweak your system very slightly for your own satisfaction. Worth the money? I’d say yes considering I know it’s quality and I’ll be using it for years to come. It lets me squeeze just a little more out of my favorite system. It’s not a must though.

    I was a little disappointed at how thin the new model is but that can also be an advantage when doing placement. The connectors seemed a little looser than my previous cheap cable too.

  15. TBird20

    Great digital optical cord for your entertainment needs. Sound quality is great. It’s only 5 feet but it works really well.

  16. Annoyed

    My last cable that was 30 dollars cheaper sounded better.It was made by rocket fish.save your money ….just saying

  17. PCNWLOVER

    We had legacy components to connect to a smart TV. This cord does the trick. It was in stock.
    My local best buy was able to get it to us via curbside 10 min before closing for the day- made our night awesome!!

  18. thaokhong

    The quality is very good. Easy to setup and use. Definitely worth the price. 100% Recommend.

  19. MattD

    great product, but I needed longer than 4.9 feet for my needs

  20. Bruce

    High quality, worth spending a little more on this.

  21. DMP1984

    It’s a cable. Once plugged in you forget it even exists. Great sound but very expensive for what it is.

  22. Dooly

    These cables transmit great sound. I would recommend them to everyone

  23. Diego

    Bought this item for my television and I did notice the difference sounds really great would highly recommend it

  24. Frank

    EXCELLENT!!! Quality product that meets published specifications.

  25. Bigdude

    Bought this to go with new tv and Bose systems for best quality sound

  26. Steitzer

    Great price and it gives clear sound definitely worth it

  27. Mailsta

    I still don’t understand why every new electronic device needs a fancy expensive cable.

  28. Audiophile

    Great sound quality and solid connection. Works well.

  29. Rich

    Great item made the surrounding sound sound great a must by

  30. KenKanDo

    AudioQuest cables are quality cables and really make a difference. Choose the level of cable that best suits your preferences.

  31. Newly

    The service I received at Best Buy was great and the product was very helpful in setting up our service
    I plan to only purchase electronic products for my home and family from Best Buy

  32. Sonosupgrade

    Simple link if looking for this type of hookup
    Depends on what type of audio you are looking at …good for digital use

  33. Laurie

    This optical cable works great with my sound bar and has clear crisp sounds. I will purchase this again in the near future.

  34. PrepaidKing

    Awesome audio quality from a durable cable! Better quality than rocket fish or dynex.

  35. xgandara

    Nice Cable. Smooth sound connected with my Sonos Playbar

  36. BEnice

    Great chord for price. Short enough so no need to tie wrap

  37. POOCH

    This optical cable is far better then the stock ones that come with a new component. I never believed that there was a difference in optical cables, oh but I was wrong. Much fuller and better audio, IMHO. Really good audio doesn’t come cheap.

  38. MagicPencil

    Was a waste of money, Read on line and the TV support both said that an HDMI connection is superior. Returned product.

  39. MervO

    AudioQuest–attainable clarity in affordable cable systems. For use with better quality equipment–it sets a standard at its price point.
    Recommended highly.

  40. Television

    good purchase, will purchase product again. easy to use

  41. FloridaSmash

    Amazing sounds quality and clarity in this cable. I was using abs aux cord to play my games now I have this. It is incredible.

  42. Poor

    Perfect for the best quality link to our television.

  43. Cookinglvl99

    expensive for no reason, i would never buy this again.

  44. Bluicagun

    Highly recommend this brand of optical cable. You can 100% hear the difference in the sound compared to other brands. This is a top notch optical cable. Is it pricey sure but as the saying goes you get what you pay for

  45. ToddG

    Premium cable really do make a difference and this one works great

  46. RDMinMB

    I installed a ROKU streaming device but my audio system sound didn’t work with it so I had to switch to TV sound. I installed this optical cable between the AVR and my HDTV and that solved the problem.

  47. Jimbo

    Excellent optical cable and exactly the right length for my system!

  48. Javier

    Good Cable. Only got it for the woven cable. Honestly over priced.

  49. TMac

    It sounds amazing; offering a true surround experience. It is better than the HDMI cable for true surround sound. I have it running from an Insignia F30 75” 4k to the LG S80QY sound bar and LG 140w wireless rear speakers. Excellent quality, especially when watching ’Band of Brothers’, or that genre. It is more enveloping with the E-ARC setting…through the digital-optical cable.

  50. LuisG

    Really good audio quality with this cable
    A little expensive though
