    Worth the price, great-sounding cable

    I bought this as an upgrade to the cable that came with my Focal Bathys headphone. Fortunately the store had this lower priced as an open box item. I tried several cables and this is my favorite and definitely a keeper. The sound quality with this cable is noticeably clear and detailed, without any harshness. It is a bit stiff, but this is to be expected with high-end cables.

    I was using an old 3.5 mm to RCA that I bought years ago from Radio Shack. The sound from the Radio Shack cables were good, but the volume was low. I thought it was the equipment at first, but then realized that I had other components connected with different cables and their volume levels was much better. Needless to say the AudioQuest cable not only sound better, the volume level is great.

    I use these cables to connect a hi res portable music player to my AV receiver. The length enables me to sit back and make my selections. The sound is pristine. Well worth the price!

    Ridiculously expensive and Didn't Keep It

    Entirely too expensive, I returned it because of this, and because it's 8 times heavier than the Apple adaptor I still needed to stick between it and the phone or iPad. Overall, it made for a very costly but very very flimsy setup.

    Great 3.5mm-3.5mm Audio Quest Sound Cable

    This was a great sound cable for my Logitech z506 5.1 surround 6 speaker computer system;and was accurately priced. The sound is so much better than the rating given for the Z506 system now;as different as night and day. It gives great low end sound evenly match;even though it is not a home theatre system.

    If requiring an analog 3.5mm to RCA, look no further. Since this model insures all details and dynamics are transmitted without ant loss, it is simply the best.

    This well-built RCA cable with copper conductors, gold-plated terminations, and ample insulation works as it should: It conveys sound without unnatural distortion or coloration.

    I bought this to connect my Sony Walkman Hi Res player to my factory car stereo. I love the thin cable and high quality connectors. My car stereo never sounded so good.

    What can I say? It's a cable. Just know what you're paying for on this one, it's only going to give you increased performance with high-end audio equipment. If you spend a ton of money on this with a 2001 walkman it's probably not going to give you any increased performance. These are expensive cables, and should only really be purchased at full price for audio enthusiasts.

    Cable provides good solid connection to both the TV and audio receiver. Picture is very good, just not completely sure it provides that significantly better picture than a lesser price cable.

    The performance you paid for

    There is a high amount of skepticism and loud jeering when it comes to cables. Compared this to a standard bottom-priced Y cable on a soundbar. Not only was the music cleaner but the bass pumped a lot tighter. Has much to do with the fact that it uses solid conductors and not flimsy copper strands bunched together which snap like twigs. This was the right cable for me and for anyone who is connecting their phone to a speaker or an MP3 player to a speaker that doesn't have a dock. Also tested wonderfully from a computer audio out jack to speakers. In short, if you paid good money for an audio system, this cable matches the performance you expected for what you already paid to get that great sound!

    Audioquest's newest line

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

    I got this 2' model for use with my headphone amp after using a 6' model with my car for a few weeks. Both are made to Audioquest's high standards, finish is perfect and plug fit is precise and positive. Sound quality improvement is debate able, but these will undoubtably serve me well for years like every other Audioquest product.
