    Great cable improved the sound quality on the Sonos Ark at first, I was a skeptic because of my past experiences with rockfish & monster cables but wow!!! This is amazing cable expensive but that’s why I’m giving value 3 stars Some might not notice a cleared sound other like myself noticed it from first hearing it from using the Sonos cable then swapped this into the Ark and the Enhanced Hdmi port.

    Audio Quest truly improves on the sound quality passing through my receiver. Picture quality, in my opinion, is comparable to other high quality cables. To me, worth the high price tag these cables warrant! Makes my PS5 gaming sound and look fantastic!

    You pay for quality. I had a rocketfish and DUDE is it an improvement! I learned with this that you must pay up to get the best if your OLED tvs and such.

    These HDMI cables really do increase the quality of the audio! I was skeptical, but did have any experience of a demo at Magnolia, Springfield Best Buy. They switched the HDMI cables and it was pretty obvious. I have hooked them up to my home system and they do allow for very accurate and clear sound. I was quite surprised and pleased!

    Samsung Q90T/PS5 upgraded cables

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Recently upgraded all of my home TV HDMI cables. I just purchased a new Samsung Q90T and also scored a PS5 on launch day. Because of the new devices, I decided to upgrade my cables to support 4K and HDMI 2.1. For years I was running very old outdated HDMI cables that were supplied by whatever product came in the box. I didn't realize that not all HDMI cables are made to support all devices. I did tons of research and determined that AudioQuest provided great cables for a great cost. I would highly recommend upgrading your HDMI cables if you have or are thinking about purchasing any new gen audio/video equipment. Old devices can operate using old 1.4/2.0 HDMI cables but if you have new audio/video equipment (2016+) your devices will run at their optimum performance using 4K/8K/10K wiring. DONT use the manufactures supplied cables as they are very cheap quality and wont provide top performance. AudioQuest is a little pricey in comparison to other brands but they are one of the few that actually are 2.1 certified. Definitely recommend if you are in the market for any audio/video upgrades/purchases.

    I genuinely believe these are the best cables you can get on the market. They serve all functions and are backwards compatible. I would recommend these cables for someone that appreciates the finer things in life. Also worth mentioning the difference in picture is more noticeable from the top end TV’s in my opinion. I also recommend these for anyone with a decent surround sound set up as the silver conductors make a considerable difference. That said, buy what you are comfortable spending. This is not something worth pinching your pocket book over.

    I spoke to magnolia tech at store . I asked why picture quality on store 4k tv's are so much better than what i get in my home ( 4k 70 series samsung 65") . He said if you are running a xfinity installed hdmi cable that is the problem. S o he showed me Audioquest Forest 48 hdmi cable . He said video quality will be from a volkswagon to upgrade to a Tesela !!!! If you do not like what you see when you plug it in simply return it. He said believe me you will be VERY HAPPY AND YOU WILL NOT RETURN IT . Well he was RIGHT . A year later now my tv is a TELSA ! I would tell you you will not regret buying this cable . As a matter of fact i am buying another when i an done with this review for my 4k blu-ray player. A MUST have for everyone that owns any brand any model 4k equipment .

    I know these are expensive. However, let me tell you that it solved so many of the issues I was having with sound and display. I needed reliable cables from my AVR to the TV and the PS5 to the AVR. I went through SEVERAL options bought on Amazon and finally got fed up and bought these. Problems gone and the sound and picture are actually better. The PS5 always comes up at 120hz 4K now, before it was hit or miss.

    Great HDMI Cable! needed a 7.5 for my Xr77A80k... with a Sanus Pro mount... cause the TV can come off the wall 28" you need the longer cable! AudioQuest is the BEST! Great Quality! Works Perfect and through the Hta 7000 Soundbar Sounds Amazing!

    THE SIGNAL FROM MY RECEIVER TO MY TV KEPT INTERRUPTING. REMOVING AND REINSERTING THE HDMI CABLE WOULD RESTORE THE SIGNAL FOR A SHORT TIME. FINALLY IT WAS NO LONGER POSSIBLE TO GET THE TV TO FUNCTION. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE HDMI CABLE RESTORED SERVICE. THE AMAZING THING WAS THE IMPROVEMENT IN THE QUALITY OF THE PICTURE. THA PREMIUM PRICE FOR A PREMIUM CABLE WAS A GREAT INVESTMENT!
