Works super nice on high end tvs on picture and sound recommend if you have a high end tv!!

Immediately noticed the speed and sound quality. I have this set up on a dvd/theater system from my tv. The turn on speed is very quick compared to my last cable

I have ben a audioquest fan since the 90's. Nothing negative to say sofar.

Deff not worth the money. Looks the same as any other hdmi cord. Save your money

Saw no differences in quality compared to a standard cable

So let me lay down the facts no matter what the disagreements are. Facts HDMI cords can make a Hugh difference in picture sound and speed quality if you’re unit or device has the potential. If your hoping to see a big in quality by buy some of this expensive cords with a low budget TV or Projector forget it. A $12 off brand hdmi cord will look as good as $500 Audioquest HDMI cord. But if you have some high end stuff and depending on how high end and great quality it is buying these expensive Audioquest HDMI cords are most definitely worth it. It will be a combination on all what you have them attached to. How good is either the TV or Projector you’re using? And are you pushing the sound through a Audio Receiver? How good is your audio receiver? Also from there do you have it hooked into a Blu Ray Player or computer or gaming system? How good is your hardware and is it good enough to take the upgraded higher end cords. You put low end stuff with low end stuff and high end stuff with high end. And anyone who’s says that these cords don’t make a huge difference in quality apparently isn’t Operating with devices good enough to make the difference. I have a BENQ LK 990 ultra 4K projector that cost around 10,000 dollars hooked with Sony’s flagship audio receiver Sony STR-ZA5000ES AV Receiver 9.2-Channel. 4K pass through. Then hooked to a high end gaming computer that takes a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070. I operated first with the standard cords and someone at Best Buy told me first to try the Audioquest 1 meter length cinnamon HDMI cords see if it makes a difference. Boom right away I saw a massive upgrade of performance in picture quality sound and speed. So since I was impressed by the boost In quality and performance I took them back and decided to pay the extra money for the 1 meter length Audioquest Carbon HDMI cords which were over double the money for the same size cord. And right of the bat even saw a difference in quality and performance jumping from the Cinnamon to the Carbon. Now was it as much of a difference from the jump from the standard cheap HDMI cords to the Cinnamon cords. No but there was definitely a difference. So I do not recommend buying these cords if you have low end stuff because you won’t see a difference probably at all. But if you have spent good money on some high end stuff. Most definitely give these a try.

I just recently upgraded my TV and AVR. I had the first generation of AudioQuest Vodka, Forest, Chocolate and Carbon HDMI cables. I didn't realize it had been 10 years since I bought them. The video and audio quality have remained stellar for the past decade. I've been through 3 televisions since then. My current set up is Carbon from cable box and Blu-ray Player to the AVR and Vodka from the AVR to the TV. When I first got these so long ago I was shocked at the price, but bought them anyway. At that time I asked myself, "Who spends over $1000 for 2 HDMI cables?" Well I did and did again 10 years later to the Vodka 48's an 8 footer and a 3 footer. I am not replacing the HDMI from my Blu-ray because I don't use the DVD player anymore as they have seem to have faded out because of streaming. Due to the price I wouldn't be recommending them to friends or colleagues because most people (IMO) could care less. I got 10 years of use out of my current AudioQuest HDMI's and I have no doubt what I have now would last forever. If you have a decent home theater set up then I would recommend these. They will provide many many years of quality performance.

I would keep my carbon cable Because I can't distinguish their differences ， but they both are good hdmi cable make your tv better picture and sound ,i use bravia 8

The Price point is ridiculous. Unless you are an Editor or you are running a Rare 8K TV, for which no programs currently exist, this is just not worth it. If you are a music producer, it makes some sense. 10% is only needed for high-end Electric vehicle batteries. 5% is even excessive for any 4k TV setup. If you are an audiophile & want the best, go for it. The Cinnamon is great for running from the Sound Bar to the Subwoofer, and Carbon is suitable for Cable boxes to TV and TV to the soundbar. Don't waste money. I have a 7.2 surround sound system on my Sony XR90L TV Paired with a Sony 9 Bravia bar sub and speakers. I saw and heard no difference between this and the Carbon model, with my setup.

You can literally get a cable just as good for $50 or even less that can do 8K/4K and 48GBPS. Don’t waste $500 on this trash

With digital signals you either get it or dont. You wont notice a difference whether the cable is 7$ or 700$. As long as the cable is the right bandwidth you are good to go. Dont waste your money.
