    Excellent HDMI cables! I initially purchased the cinnamon HDMI. Having the new Sony Oled TV I thought I would step up to the carbon and I'm glad I did, there is a distinction in video and audio that takes the Sony Oled it to the next level. If you have an OLED TV, then these cables are a must and you won't regret it.

    I have two or three of these in my system now -- this HDMI half-meter cable and two of its siblings, a USB variant between my external drive and an Auralic streamer, also a coaxial from my Oppo UHD-205 to my PS Audio DAC. All of them have made a difference in sound quality. I was skeptical at first, but after experiencing the un-subtle improvements in each case, I'm a believer. Presumably the silver content in the wire helps, but perhaps also the shielding.

    Great cable, well worth the price. Was a little hesitate about paying so much money for it, but it made a huge different in the sharpness and quality of the picture. I'm just an average joe and not a tech nerd by any stretch, but my family was very happy with the picture upgrade and could visually tell the difference with the before and after picture. I only wish that the AudioQuest web site would publish the specs for each grade of cable, so I would have been able to quantify this purchase with my wife before hand, instead of just telling her to trust me on this.

    These cables are simply amazing. I have tried all sorts of Hdmi cables from Amazon and Costco, but these ones I get the best results. For the casual viewer, you might not be able to tell a different. However, I can with the picture. The picture has some fine details that get overlooked with regular Hdmi cables. If you can't tell the difference with the picture, you will be able to tell the difference in sound. My system picks up every sound now, very impressed with these cables.

    Awesome picture! Great Sound! I thought I had it good before with the high end HDMI's I had but these are way better! The 4K colors are great and stable and the sound is using my equipment to the fullest! I can not imagine how much better it could get! This level made sense even for the high end stuff I'm using! DTS-HD, True HD & HD 3D are amazing! Dolby Digital + and Atmos are unmatched! No DTS-X yet? Talk about surround! WOW! I suggest getting the most and best speakers you can afford! That's Entertainment! Cables do make the difference!

    Picture on my TV watching Roku is definitely sharper, brighter, and the sound coming from my Sonos Arc has also improved. I splurged and got three cables, one for the Roku, one for my Sonos Arc and one for my Xbox One. Definitely very happy...I got this...Cable is very thick, sturdy, and substantial, there is no confusion - what you pay is what you get....

    Audioquest does not disappoint. Build quality is top notch. This is one of their "entry level" 48Gbps HDMI cables (yes you can spend WAY more believe it or not). If you have average to good equipment (higher-end 4K or 8K TV and a decent disc player), then you'll immediately see the difference with either Carbon or Cinnamon. You get what you pay for with AQ but you have to keep in mind the other elements in your set up. There is an opportunity to go really nuts with cables if you don't consider the system as a whole, in which case you're just throwing money away.

    A MUST for high quality soundbars- Hi-Res support

    FOR AUDIO OPINION ONLY: This is A MUST HAVE so soundbars that support HDMI 2.1/ e-ARC AND TVs that support HDMI 2.1 w/ eArc. Sound quality is unrivaled and impeccable compared to other HDMI products the only cables ghat can beat this are the more expensive audioquest cables. Audioquest is a very reliable brand in terms of sound quality. They were able to produce award winning portable DAC (dragonfly Cobalt and Red).

    This cable is absolutely incredible as the picture and sound from my television was just like real life. I use to have the AudioQuest Cinnamon HDMI cable and decided to upgrade to this for the release of my NEW PS5. Best Choice, I ever made as it improved my TV's HDR quality. I recommend this cable to anyone who is serious about their entertainment center.

    After going up the levels of quality HDMI cables this one makes the TV look as good or better than the display in the store. Very high Define and clear vivid picture! I have the Cinnamon cable for the sound bar awesome! The Forest cable isn"t that good don"t bother with that cable.

    Went from the cinnamon to the carbon hidmi. I could tell a difference in the sound coming from my Sonos home system. The sound was much better overall. The sub was more punchy and the colors on my OLED really popped.
