About this product

For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly, “speed” is about transferring large files as quickly as possible or carrying enough data for an HD video. For USB audio (and for HDMI audio), “speed” is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog wave form that brings information, music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D, harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear. AudioQuest USB Type-C cables featuring conductor materials and construction techniques that have allowed AQ’s other USB cables to achieve great recognition worldwide. With the newer USB Type-C connector quickly becoming commonplace on many devices, AQ’s line of Type-C equipped USB cables will allow users to connect with Type-C enabled devices such as MacBook, Chromebook, Pixel, Galaxy Note 7, etc. In addition, ALL of AudioQuest’s USB cables incorporate a developed strain-relief system to provide robust durability between the USB cable and plug.

Features

  • Semi-Solid Concentric 5% Silver Conductors

    Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors greatly reduce strand-interaction distortion and silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications like USB audio. An incredibly cost-effective way of manufacturing very high-quality USB cables.

  • Hard-Cell Foam Insulation

    Hard-cell foam insulation is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) neither absorbs nor releases energy from or into the conductor, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials, thereby reducing distortion.

  • Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation

    AudioQuests Noise-Dissipation technology significantly reduces the RF Noise that reaches active circuits and causes masking effects.

  • Direction-Controlled Conductors

    A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.

    AirPods Max 2

    I like AudioQuest because they manufacture quality products. I purchased the usbc audio cable to connect my iPhone with the AirPods Max 2, since you can get lossless audio via usbc connection. I was hoping that the sound would be far superior from the cable that came with the headphones … but not really. If I were to give a school grading, I would say stock cable gets a 98 and AudioQuest a 100. However, they are both A+ and really good, but I get to save $200+ bucks by keeping the stock cable. The AudioQuest usbc cable also charges the AirPods Max 2, while listening to music.

    Reduces electric noise

    Best Buy employee here. <psa> Let me start off by stating the obvious: This is an AUDIO CABLE (not for charging). Don’t waste money on an AudioQuest cable if you only need it for charging!!!! <\psa> I wouldn’t consider myself an audiophile — yet — but I am an audio enthusiast. So I bought this cable for my Logitech/Astro A50X Lightspeed wireless headset (along the the HDMI cables I need to connect my Xbox, PlayStation). Clearly I do care about my gaming experience, and hearing all the details is important to me. After listening to audio demos with generic cables vs AQ cables, I can’t go back. Yes the difference may be slight, but once you hear it … you’ll always wonder: “what am I missing? What is getting lost in the fray of electric noise?” The experience is not unlike discovering what a better headphone can do for your music or games. Except that this cable can make better a headphone that you already like. That’s a win!

    Crystal Clear Quality

    [Employee of bestbuy] Amazing sound quality that really makes a clear difference. Sound is more refined and clear than your typical phone charger cable. Works great for android auto and delivers excellent clarity with a great soundstage.

    Scam product.

    Scam product that provides no benefits over an $12 Monoprice cable. It's digital. You could make the cable out of coat hanger wire and duct tape and as long as both ends could negotiate the connection, then it would be perfect.
