    I lost my old cable and I needed a new one. I ask if they had any higher end cables because the other original one was pretty beat up and the replacement actually I was glad it was missing. This new one is great and I expect it will last many years for my older apple products!

    Audio cable does make a difference

    Great cable. I'm an audiophile at heart, however; the convenience of computer audio has me satisfied. This cable helps to obtain the best digital signal from portable devices...Oh, did I mention it's used as a link between the device and an DAC?

    I had heard of audio quest from audiophile magazines. When my standard apple cord broke, I saw this product in the monthly best buy what's new magazine and decided to buy this rather then use the standard apple cord. When I plugged one of my iPods into it for the first time in my car, could hear more bass and slightly clearer sound overall. My wife also noticed it right away. I would have bought a cinnamon or carbon level, but it is after all in the car, where road noise is always going to intrude to some degree. Definitely worth the extra money if you need a iPod car cable!

    Its a really great cable and its longer too. I was looking for a longer cable and I came across this one. Even though the price isn't cheap, its still worth it to buy.

    Good value for an Audioquest product

    I needed a longer USB cable than the one that came with my IPad, but I also wanted something that was better made. This Audioquest cable is well built and thicker than the Apple version. It should probably be priced about $5 less than it is, but I'm happy with it. IMO this won't give you any better results than the Apple cable, but it's made better and should last.

    Does Not Stay In

    This cord was expensive and does not stay in the iPad. I have gone to sleep thinking my iPad is charging only to wake up and find the cord had moved ever so slightly and didn't charge. I am returning this item and suggest you look elsewhere if you need a replacement or a longer cord than what came with the iPad.

      Hi Ipadfreak,

      Sorry to hear that. The connectors are sourced via Apple but all plugs & jacks vary slightly in tolerance. I've been using a Forest USB on an iPhone 3 for about a year with no issues. I think you'll find it's an issue with that particular cable rather than Forest USB. Give it another chance. Best Buy will be happy to exchange the cable for you. If you have any questions or issues, call us at 949 585 0111.

      Best regards,
