    Problem was that the salesperson had no idea of audio equipment and acted like it was a bother that I was asking a question. He sold me something that I told him was not right but he “knew better “. You should hire people who actually know audio/video/spund!

    I realize that a store with inventory cannot compete with online retailers but this cord was extremely over priced. I paid it because I needed it right away and could not wait. I would purchase it online next time.

    I was very disappointed with this purchase. The item was damaged when I purchased it. So I had to return it. I was to scared to repurchase, because it looked like the quality was not good.

    Overpriced, not that high of quality - doesn't latch properly onto my sound bar like my old cord did. Can find much cheaper cords of the same quality or better elsewhere

    I bought them because the salesman said they would work for the question I asked him. But when I got home it didn’t do what he said that it would so I returned them.

    Sorry I don't see anything special about this cable to really recommend it to any one. There is nothing wrong with it and it works out for me but I can't tell you the difference between this one an another one.

    When trying to get many cables through a small opening, this cable was too thick especially by the connectors... had a very hard timing fishing it through the wall and when I did it was too short

    Probably an okay cable, unfortunately I couldn’t tell you because the plastic molding around the cable is way too big and doesn’t fit in our TV’s port. There’s no reason it needs to be that big.

We'll take this information into consideration as we continuously work to improve our products and ensure they meet the needs of our customers. If you require further assistance or would like to explore alternative solutions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team for assistance.

    The Best Sound in the World is Good Sound.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I really am enjoying my 2.0 soundbar I purchased last month. My TV's sound was very annoying and sharp when my music Shows were on. The Voice and American Idol are 2 of my favorites. When people would sing it didn't sound like the right tone. Now with my 2.0 sound bare I can have more bass and treble on my programs.Now I don't have headaches from listening to Grammys, Oscars or any programs I want to watch. Thank You Best Buy for such Quality equipment to make music sound Beautiful again. KAREN G.

    Worked fine. Easy to install and when the speaker connected and the volume was up had a buzzing sound I couldn’t get rid of .So then, it worked ok on lower volume.

    Wanted to get the 90 degree hdmi adapter but an associate told me that the optical cable would be better so i purchased it. After i had time to connect it, it would not let the soundbar operate with the main remote. You would have to use the separate remote which is not what i wanted. It took me longer than the 14 days to bring it back to exchange and was told that i could not exchange it. If i would have gotten the item i went in for i would not have had a problem and now i am stuck with a cable i cannot use
