Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product is designed to outperform and outlast all other cables. Yes including "Monster". This cable is meant to give you better signal quality without loss of packets on your Video and Audio and better insulation means it gets rid of the static noise that can harm signal quality. Its a great cable to get when you are doing Mid to High end Home Theaters. Everyone can benefit from this cable in terms of Video and Audio quality that being said it is far out there in terms of price so it comes down to , you get what you pay for in these cables. I use mine to direct signal from my Xbox to my Av receiver and it works perfectly.

I purchased this HDMI cable to improve the sound quality on my Bose SoundTouch 300 system (w/ acoustimass sub and virtually invisible speakers) Once I replaced my old HDMI cable with the Carbon the sound improvement was drastically improved. It brought my audio to life. Great Product. Kind of pricey but worth every penny

I have an award winning theater with over $100,000 in 4k native electronics. McIntosh Sound (MX122, MVP901, MC207, MC152, MPC1500, Oppo DVD, Monitor Audio Platinum II Speakers, Sony 4K Native Projector, Stewart 130" filmscreen. Let's see - 2 choices, cheap cables for the HDMI interconnects, or spend some money! Believe it or not, I tried cheaper and had UHD sync issues and "4k not supported" issues intermittently. Why connect 100k in gear with $50 in cables? Replaced with all AudioQuest Carbon and *BOOM* - everything looks and syncs flawlessly. Worth every penny. These puppies in all lengths are large diameter and very stiff. Not as easy to work with in tight spaces but you can "train" them to conform.

I bought 2 of these to see f it would my my Movie theater experience better. And it made it outstanding. I have these hooked up to a Epson 6050UB 4K Enhanced Projector on a 150 inch projector screen. These cable are a must for someone wanting to get full potential out of your tv or projector. Definitely worth the $200 a piece I paid for them.

A bit pricey but I definitely recommend this HDMI cable to everyone you can actually see the difference in the quality of this cable.

I bought 3 of these Carbon cables to replace existing Monster Cable HDMI, and WOW, what a difference. The Monsters were the braided Ultra Series, cost me $100+ a pop a few years back – so not an entry level version by any stretch. These AQ Carbon not only improved the sound quality with better clarity and definition throughout the range, it was a pleasant surprise that they also improved picture quality. I never realized I had the problem because it was always there, but after installing these cables a certain amount of image jitter was eliminated. It was most noticeable on text, tickers, logos and fine edges. At +$200 per cable, it’s tough to swallow, but if someone told me I could get better sound and picture quality out of my existing equipment that I’ve got thousands invested in for just a couple hundred bucks, I’d say that is money well spent.

I upgraded from cheap cables from Amazon because I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything from my sound coming from my new Onkyo receiver. I figured if I'm going to have a higher end receiver, I should have higher end cables as well. Whether they are actually making a difference, it's hard to really say. I haven't tried to do a comparison test, but it's kind of like one of those things where I want to know I'm getting the best from my receiver. There definitely wasn't a drastic change in the quality in the sound or video, but it's comforting to know that I'm getting the best quality that I can afford. Also, these cables are more than durable and will last forever so I would definitely agree that quality of these cables is more than worth it! Also, I heard that these cables can also handle 8K TVs coming from the guy from Best Buy in the Magnolia department. So these cables are good to go for anything that you throw at it! I highly recommend any cables from AudioQuest!!! Obviously, you don't want to really spend more on your cables than what your setup costs. But you can use your own judgement on that. I don't know if I would buy Vodka HDMI cables or Diamond cables unless your setup really is worth it or if you have the budget for it. Mine currently isn't so I can say they are worth it especially when the Vodka cables cost $300 or more on the low end.

I purchased a Samsung 3D Smart HD TV. This HDMI cable is definitely a must buy product. This is the middle quality one I believe. There are $20.00 HDMI cables but my son is a computer wiz & big time gamer. He has Xbox One & said he wants this cable for his machine. I followed his advise cuz he spends every free moment on his computer & games. He installed everything in less then an hour & knew just as much about the entire Best Buy store as the saleman.

I bought this cable to try out with me new curves samsung tv 4k, and also bought a Monster black platinum cable to compare, for the pictures and sound this Vodka cable is way better than Monster, i have no jostling or distorted when using Vodka, but have some blurry picture on Monster cable when watching dvd movie, the only downside on this cable is too pricey

This cable delivers a clean sound and high quality picture to my entire home theater. Plus, it's very durable and attractive outer casing brings added confidence to this purchase.

I never knew a cable could make a difference in the picture and response times. Plus, this is a heavy duty cable that will last a long, long time.

GREAT CABLE, PICTURE QUALITY IS INCREDIBLE. NEED A GOOD CABLE TO RUN 4K,

For your high end entertainment systems. It's like having component cable on a 1080p HDTV which equals poor resolution. Audio Quest cables make the sound and picture better, By using silver content in there cables which are said to carry the frequency from one unit to the other with less interference.

I have not done a direct comparison with other HDMI cables, and do not know how I would do that, but I can say that I have an excellent audio/visual system setup and very happy with the the video and audio coming out of that. The HDMI cables can be the weak link that would otherwise prevent that, as everything goes through my receiver. No detectable interference or other issues that inferior HDMI cables might cause. These are pricey, but if you want nothing less than outstanding performance, get them.

great cable for new technology tv but very expensive.

Audioquest cables are the only cables I use for my home theater system. These high speed HDMI cables are a must have for 4K, due to their ability to enable 18 Gbps throughput. These cables give me the clearest picture and sound that I could ask for. They are more expensive but do yourself a favor and stroll into Magnolia to pick these up, there are several price tiers on Audoquest, so there shouls be something available to meet everyone's budget. You buy this ONCE and you will not regret it. I've been using their cables since the 90's and have never had one fail.

Really made a big difference in picture quality. But a little pricey.

If you are going to spent close to $3000,00 on a quality it makes sense to purchase a quality HDMI cable. Picture quality and sound quality are excellent.

This cable is very well made and constructed for toughness and durability. I did compare this cable in a apple to apples comparison with the Monster M1000HD cable of the same length (TV LG C9 OLED, Sony X800M2 4K Blu Ray Player, Movie - Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk 4k DVD @ 60 fps, Samsung HW-Q70R Soundbar) I could not seen any difference in the video from either cable, both were the same beautiful picture in 4K HDR at 60 fps. There might be a very slight edge in audio sharpness with the AudioQuest. I did this same test with the Carbon cable as well and the results were the same. These are very good cables but extremely costly and the Monster M series cables are no longer made anyway.
