I bought this as an upgrade to the cable that came with my Focal Bathys headphone. Fortunately the store had this lower priced as an open box item. I tried several cables and this is my favorite and definitely a keeper. The sound quality with this cable is noticeably clear and detailed, without any harshness. It is a bit stiff, but this is to be expected with high-end cables.

I was using an old 3.5 mm to RCA that I bought years ago from Radio Shack. The sound from the Radio Shack cables were good, but the volume was low. I thought it was the equipment at first, but then realized that I had other components connected with different cables and their volume levels was much better. Needless to say the AudioQuest cable not only sound better, the volume level is great.

Entirely too expensive, I returned it because of this, and because it's 8 times heavier than the Apple adaptor I still needed to stick between it and the phone or iPad. Overall, it made for a very costly but very very flimsy setup.

This was a great sound cable for my Logitech z506 5.1 surround 6 speaker computer system;and was accurately priced. The sound is so much better than the rating given for the Z506 system now;as different as night and day. It gives great low end sound evenly match;even though it is not a home theatre system.

[Employee of bestbuy] the sound quality difference is incredible!! the best ive heard!
