    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

    CABLES DO MATTER

    First off, do not let anyone tell you ALL hdmi cables are the same. WRONG!!!! I have a lg c1 tv and i purchased a Belkin 2.1 cable ($40) . HORRIBLE. Picture was blurry, colors ok but i could tell something missing. I had a 65 E8 with 14 yr old Monster cables and the picture was very good. I figured 14 yrs , time for new cables. I returned the belkin cable and Bought this Carbon48. When I hooked this cable up and turned on TV, WOW, WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Clearer, colors were deeper. I had friends over to watch football and they noticed the difference. Is this cable overkill on price, maybe. But these cables are very, very good and future proof.

    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 .

    I'm a little bit on both sides on the cable debate. I've never heard a significant difference in sound from analog cables in my system, at least from $70 - $800. That said I have heard significant differences in digital cables, specifically AES, COAX and I2S. The Audioquest Carbon series just hit a bit more holographic characteristics when compared with the Audioquest series below Carbon.

    Good cable. I was fully expecting to return the cable after testing it, however, I could actually see a difference in the picture and sound. Thus, I’m keeping it. Price of the cable is ridiculous, but I will end up replacing my other cords.

    These HDMI Cables make all the difference is like a car it needs strong wiring and motor to function, same with these. Bought them for my Jome theater experience and couldn’t be happier. Pricy but worth it.

    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.

    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....
