Wow! I just bought these HDMI from audioquest and they are really very impressive I have my xbox series x and LG oled CX the image looks in 3D the sound is much better the games have a much better scale and smoother I like them

Great hdmi cable the best in business when to comes to audio quest.

I bought this for my Xbox Series X and it’s wonderful! It’s a thick cord and with 5% silver the audio is great. Visuals are beyond the stock 2.1 cord. I also bought the cinnamon 48 for ps5 and both amaze. Audio quest is worth the buy.

Didn’t wanna go crazy on a real expensive On a E arc cable and wanted to purchase something that was in between this was a great purchase

This AQ Cable Really Makes A Big Difference!! Upgraded From A Forest HDMI. Superior Everything!! Super Satisfied For Now!!!

Got a great deal both on sale plus open box item since packaging was slightly ripped but I don’t know why this company went back to plastic/rubber insulation instead of the nice woven cloth they had for years. ..maybe the supply chain issues or recession- everyone is cutting back. Cable works great as all their products do, though.

Not happy with my order. Very expensive cables and Best Buy sends me a used one! Bought a 2.5' carbon 48 and a 5' carbon 48. The 2.5' was brand new, BUT the 5' came used! pic shows exactly what they looked like out of box!

The Audioquest Carbon HDMI 2.1 cable may be expensive, but it offers a substantial upgrade in video and audio quality over a standard HDMI 2.0 cable. It ought to, considering it's a much higher bandwidth than the HDMI 2.0. I had been using a high quality HDMI 2.0 cable that isn't available at Best Buy, and I was more than happy with the performance. Buuuut, I'm always up for system improvements, within reason, and I was extremely curious how the new 2.1 would stack up against what I have been using. The Audioquest Carbon does not disappoint! The improvements it made were so dramatic that I spent a whole weekend sampling almost every 4k title and Blu-ray disc that I own and my jaw dropped many times at the improvements. I'm so impressed by the Carbon that I'm now planning to buy more of them to use for my AppleTV and receiver connections. Highly recommended!

Honestly worth considering if you are already in that premium TV or Audio mind set, i have 2 of these, one for gaming and kne for audio, and its somethjng you can truly see and hear compared to the basic cables or the cheap ones they include with monitors and such.

Like the title (True TO IT'S WORD)!!!! true picture quality up to 10k picture quality...the sound is marvelous..I use this Hdmi cable for gaming on my Xbox one x and LG CX 55 OLED tv and I'm mind blown by the picture quality for gaming.. can't wait to see it work with the series X xbox. I highly recommend this product. It's very expensive but worth da $$$. If you own a 4K or 8K tv you need this cable trust me it will change how you view tv!

These cables are spending but are manufactured incredibly well…. I haven’t had any issues but wanted a high quality cable for my setup just to maximize the richness in audio quality…. I can’t speak to any of the technology whether it be better picture or richer sound quality so I’ll leave that to the experts… the cable is incredibly stiff but other than that no complaints

First off, do not let anyone tell you ALL hdmi cables are the same. WRONG!!!! I have a lg c1 tv and i purchased a Belkin 2.1 cable ($40) . HORRIBLE. Picture was blurry, colors ok but i could tell something missing. I had a 65 E8 with 14 yr old Monster cables and the picture was very good. I figured 14 yrs , time for new cables. I returned the belkin cable and Bought this Carbon48. When I hooked this cable up and turned on TV, WOW, WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Clearer, colors were deeper. I had friends over to watch football and they noticed the difference. Is this cable overkill on price, maybe. But these cables are very, very good and future proof.

The best HDMI cable available. Kinda meticulous with regards to my system and peripherals. Great product all in all. Big difference with regards to PQ and AQ. One caveat is the high price.

Couldn't ask for better quality. AQ is top of the line and I use them for all my HDMI and audio cables. They offer different product lines to meet individual needs and specifications of use. The Carbon Cables are a good balance of High quality (for my displays) and price given my monitor and TV limitations. Solidly built.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Where have you been hiding? The picture and sound are amazing now!! Buy it. I know it's expensive but really worth it. It literally improved my Sony TV. Just make sure you insert each end according to the arrows direction.

Great, an now that ive hooked it up via Xbox series X and PS5 to my LG CX TV for both content such as HBO MAX, Netflix and VUDU to checkout both the Visual effects and audio differences vs the standard cable that comes with the systems there is an inherent difference in contrast especially when watching older movies on HBO it up scales them making them look 4K and takes out a lot of the grain look it almost remasters them in a way... and on the audio side of things there's a substantial difference with both the carbon and the cinnamon when you're using standard audio output or HDMI ARC or Arc it doesn't matter it's all going to be significantly enhanced no matter what you do no matter what you're putting this cord into it's absolutely excellent for visual and audio upgrade everything ever app Visual and game visual as well as and especially your sound output no matter what you do as long as it's plugged in correctly it's a simple as that, as an example I have a free year subscription of Dolby vision for my headphones that are Wireless lucidsound L50X and it gave them an incredible Boost Outpost and clarity just buy it having it hooked up between your TV and your Xbox One X Xbox series X or PS5 or PS4 doesn't matter the sound and the visual will be vastly improved Now in terms of video games can enhance the graphics you just have to make sure and watch a quick YouTube settings guide for your Xbox One X or PS5 output It's hard to describe but I recommend getting either one of these or this cinnamon anything above or below I haven't tried except for standard cables that come with the equipment... Just make sure you plug in the cable Arrow up to the external component and arrow down to the TV it does not tell you that on a box or inside the Box so watch a simple YouTube video on which way the cable goes there's thousands of them that are less than a minute to 2 minutes long this is an excellent purchase for anyone especially those who are experiencing any sort of Black Crush with their TVs or feel their TVs are too dark in certain areas this will lift that and make sure you set your color within your TV to 100 and when watching HD content 1080p put your sharpness all the way down but put it all the way up when you're in 4k but always have the color at 100% as well as the backlight depending on your TV I've used SamsungQLED's , premium you ULEDs And LG OLEDS This cable works for any and all especially great on Old LEDs and high-end Q LEDs

I didn't know that i was missing a lot in terms of sound quality until i tried Audioquest hdmi 48 carbon.Best HDMI cable,it brings out the best sound on my soundbar,do yourself a favor and get one. Unfortunately i had to return mine because its too short and the 7.5feet is unavailable but im gonna keep an eye on it and will definitely get one as soon as it becomes available.

Made my PS5 games and Blu-ray movies come alive both visually and audibly!! Don’t believe the haters that say cables are all the same. I’m kicking myself for having listened to those fools and suffered for it! Yes they are pricey but are a necessity if you want to properly “feed” the 4K TV. Stop reading this and just get them you will thank me later.

I bought these for my Samsung soundbar and Samsung TV qn 90d. I'm sure if it's the cable that make the tv look spectacular or the tv itself. I did noticed that the soundbar had a over all much better sound with a solid tighter bass. Expensive but worth it.
