    This HDMI cable is one of the best one’s you can get, but you’re going to pay a price for it. It really did change the quality of sound and picture!

    I am not musician but I heard the difference in the sound with this cable. I have a B&W Panoramic 2 sound bar and can clearly hear more crisper sounds.

    I am using these through my earc connection on my Samsung q80t tv and Marantz sr5015 receiver with 7.1 setup Bowers and wilkins speakers all around and a svs micro 3000 sub, roughly a $12,000 setup and I honestly don't hear any difference than the $40 hdmi it replaced. I didn't expect to see any difference but did expect a better sound quality. I read multiple professional reviews on hdmi cables and all concluded that a hdmi cable is an hdmi cable it either works or it doesn't, processing speeds are the only true difference. My idiotic self should have listened. I will keep them since they do seem to be made well but would not buy again.

    World of difference in speed. Sounds amazing. Highs and lows are accurate. No need to buy the diamonds or higher priced unless you have McIntosh setup

    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’ll purchased these cables more so for future use. I’m not a gamer, so I’m not 100% sure that I didn’t use a hammer on a thumb rack.

    Quality HDMI cable, but is it really needed?

    I’m not really sold that this cable provides a jump in quality that is worth the expense. I had purchased a sound bar that included a gift card that covered half the cost. I would have gone with the Cinnamon version if it were in stock. When I got home I found an Ocean version (low end) had been put inside. I had to go back to BestBuy and return for another. Thankfully that process wasn’t an issue. Bestbuy may want to consider some extra security given someone must have switched the contents and walked away with a $350 cable in a $30 Ocean box…
