    High Quality HDMI Cable

    I had recently purchased a 4K TV from Best Buy and the next common sense thing to do from my perspective was to enable the cable box to provide a high quality signal to the TV. After speaking with the staff, they provided the options and advice which allowed me to choose the AudioQuest Chocolate 4K Ultra HD HDMI cable. The picture quality is incredible with the new TV and the choice of adding a high quality HDMI cable couldn’t help but ensure the awesome TV experience I’m enjoying now. My thanks to the Best Buy staff, as they made the buying experience easy and comfortable!!!

    this cable was an upgrade compared to the standard cable that came with my ps4 pro. I noticed an improvement in picture quality and audio I would recommend anyone looking to improve they're home theater they should get an audio Quest upgrade.

    If you have purchased a 4K HDR TV and it has a 120 hz refresh rate this cable or higher is a must.

    I owned an AudioQuest sky cable and I could say it's a good cable. But to compare chocolate to sky, there is a big difference! The picture quality is much sharper and colors are of great quality and the quality of sound is spot on. It is a little expensive though but you get what you pay for. I remember returning the 1 meter cable because it doesn't reach my bluray player. I went to the store and got a 2 meter cable. The box that I got looks old and crumpled as if it's not brand new. When I checked out, the bestbuy rep said it's new and doesnt want me to get a newer looking box. That's the only gripe that I had when I bought this cable. The mere fact that you paid for a new item and you'll get a used one sucks!!!! Well, here's hoping that it's not used and defective because it is an expensive cable.

    Recently upgraded to 4k and wanted a good hdmi cable to pass through. This one fits the bill. Have always had great success with Audioquest and the Chocolate line is no exception. Have all Chockolates running from the 4k components to the 4k AVR and this cable running to the TV. Sound and picture are fantastic.

    My Magnolia Rep encouraged me to try these HDMI cables with a new LG OLED 65EF9500. Having received the new TV and installed with my existing HDMI high speed cables, I wasn't satisfied at all with the picture quality of the new OLED and started to doubt the quality of the set. Then, when a little bit of prodding from the Magnolia Rep (he told me that he's told his clients to buy these expensive cables and never had one returned!), a purchased this cable. Once installed the quality of the picture improved substantially. The LG OLED is running through my new Yamaha RX-A2050 receiver and the picture is amazing. I have since purchased ALL new Audioquest cables for my home theatre and really do believe now that it DOES make a difference! After spending a small fortune on your home theatre, don't neglect these high quality cables to obtain the absolute best picture and sound quality that you can.

    Honestly I believed all hdmi are the same and there is no reason to buy expensive cable. I was wrong and I’ll tell you why this audioquest hdmi cables are the best. I was having audio and picture sync issues with my apple 4k tv and Panasonic UB820 4k player connected to Harmon Kardon Samsung HWN850 Soundbar. I was using a monster 18gbps cable and certified 18gbps cable that advised 4k hdr. The picture would drop out with Apple TV and sound when streaming 4k content. The uhd player pushing uncompressed info at chroma 444 picture and sound drop out and it was choppy. I thought it was 2015 Samsung SHUD tv that was using arc and I got a new LG C8 and had issue. I purchased certified 18gbs rocket fish cable same issue. I was getting ready to take back Soundbar but found out quality of cable hdmi makes difference. I purchased 3 chocolate hdmi cables one tv to Soundbar, uhd player to Soundbar, Apple TV to Soundbar. Guess what no more issues. No more timing errors with pic and sound. No more switching different inputs and arc goes out and I have to unplug. All hdmi cables are not built with quality materials. I am now a believer in these cables. I still think they are too pricey, but I cannot fault their quality and working as advertised. Save yourself time and go with these. I wouldn’t recommend going pass chocolate unless you have some real expensive audio equipment then yes because it has more silver in it.

    Beats the Cheaper HDMIs in Picture and Sound

    Many people buy cheap hdmi cables because they think all cables are the same. This is not true, hdmi is not passive, it requires an electric charge to keep the 0s and 1s flowing. Connectors are also important for breakage or improper connection. I used monoprice and it broke, the picture and sound was OK but this Chocolate HDMI with the 5% silver (the best electrical conductor is silver) improved picture and sound. The connectors are cold solder in and can't break as the cheaper hdmi cables. These are better than Monster or Dynex or Insignia because of the components and connectors.

      Hi HDperfect, great points you made there, touching on some of the key differences that go into the actual design and construction of and HDMI cable. Conductor and termination quality are two of the most important aspects of a good HDMI cables. And sound quality is the probably the most noticeable improvement that hits you right away with a cable like the Chocolate HDMI. Long live good picture and sound!AudioQuest

    I only use AudioQuest cables and wires in my home theater system. The quality of the product is unmatched. A little pricey but well worth it in performance.

    Wow these are really nice! I have cheap o hdmi all the way to these bad boys! I’m a total tech junkie/nerd! It is worth putting up the extra bucks! Bc the high the hdmi cable goes the faster upload you will get the better picture. Sharper imaging! So if you want sharper cleaner faster pictures and movies! Than buy these! If not it’s okay you can just use what you got

    I believed that I'd not be able to hear any sound quality difference between this "significantly" priced cable and a less expensive one, because frankly my hearing is not as good as it once was. I was however proven wrong by Thomas in the the Magnolia section of the Fredericksburg store. I was impressed enough to buy another one for another receiver in the house.

    I have this cable hooked up to a 70" Sony LED 3D TV and the picture quality is incredible. This cable came highly recommended from Best Buy so I figured I would give it a shot. They said I could get a less expensive model for the connection to the Blu Ray player but that the cable going into the Cable Box should be this level or higher. Other than the steep price, I have no complaints.

    I don't really have much to compare it to, but they work and the sound and picture quality with them are awesome. They are really expensive for a cable, but you get what you pay for with this kind of stuff. Why spend $4,000 on a new t.v. and then get cheap cables to save a little? Makes no sense. Go with the top of the line cables.

    Okay so I instantly notice the sound and picture like asap and this is with a 2009 50" Samsung Plasma that wasn't calibrated from the geek squats. Crisp sounds and like 120gz LED picture My wife now understands why I spent $100.00+ a HDMI cable. Nick was very helpful in that sale. Monster Hdmi wires are like Radio Shack hdmi cables. Audioquest chocolate HDMI cables are my favorite cables now.

    This was recommended to me by the Magnolia System Designer. I went with her recommendation and haven't been disappointed. Did I need a cable this expensive? That's always been a hard question, but after spending as much as we do on all of the other components, I'd hate to think that we were losing quality because of a less expensive cable.

    Bought one of these a few months back to connect my PS4 Pro to my Sony XBR-55X850D. Craftsmanship is excellent and the video/audio signal quality is way better that my older cables. Liked it so much that I bought another to connect my Sony UBP-X800. I will admit, the cable is on the pricey side, but I find it to be worth it.

    Most times it's hard to tell if your $100+ Investment for a 3 foot long HDMI cable was worth it. You aren't given the opportunity to perform in-store picture quality comparisons as you can with speaker systems. I purchased this cable to avoid getting home, hooking everything up and then finding out that my old HDMI cable would not support 4K video. I haven't experienced any issues and the picture is great so I cannot complain.
