    Audioquest cables or bust!

    Made my PS5 games and Blu-ray movies come alive both visually and audibly!! Don’t believe the haters that say cables are all the same. I’m kicking myself for having listened to those fools and suffered for it! Yes they are pricey but are a necessity if you want to properly “feed” the 4K TV. Stop reading this and just get them you will thank me later.

    Cable in my opinion, drastically improved both sound and visual quality. Other people have also noticed. So yes. Go Carbon!

    This Audioquest cable is Fantastic and I can see the difference between a cheaper hdmi cable and this one, I just purchased a new Samsung Qled 4k mini led tv and all the Hdmi ports are 2.1 which technically requires high speed cables for maximum performance, this Audioquest carbon hdmi cable is perfect

    Cable is expensive but if you have a high end TV or audio system or you simply care about quality then this is for you. Some people think cables don't make a difference but when you buy this and hook it up you will become a believer that cables make a huge difference.

    Audioquest cables are the best cables you can get for home theater system the carbon is very good because it's kind of mid-priced not too expensive and not too cheap and very high quality

    Do not shortcut your audio! Keep in mind, you can spend thousands of dollars on product, but if you put a cheap cable in the middle, your system will never be better than that cable.

    Well this is the most I’ve ever paid for hdmi cables But after investing in new tv and sound bar I thought it would be a good idea to invest in the hdmi cable Not disappointed at all . Audioquest is committed to sound and picture .

    Not sure what all the hype is. It works fine, but saw or heard no difference in quality from a cheaper HDMI. Tried multiple devices and honestly wish I had saved my money.

    Perfect for my Sonos Arc's HDMI eARC port. It is overkill; but hey, it's futureproofing (assuming you don't abuse the cable). I got this long one for my computer to connect to my LG OLED TV's (the new one) eARC port.
