I have a retro setup with an old CRT tv. I have multiple A/V inputs running into a splitter. Wanted this to finish it off. The connection is very loose, and combined with its thickness and weight often slips out of my setup, often making it more of a nuisance and wishing I bought a different pair. That said, yes, they will function with no apparent issues.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

In 2025 I would’ve never thought I’d buy these cables again. Great value, only complaint is how chunky the cords are. But very high quality

Walked into the store in Oxnard and was greeted with a smile. Found the cables that we needed and we went to check out. It was a good experience.

Needed to connect my old DVD player to a new TV where HDMI was not an option. Wanted to play old broadway shows and concerts for my mother-in-law using gifted DVDs and old DVD player for which I could not find the interface cables. Happy that Best Buy carried legacy cables to interface with inexpensive new TV.

Solid little RCA cables, the right length for what I needed, and they fit. Always a surprise actually finding these in store, with how few things still use these connections.

Bonus! There were two in the pack. I just needed one and didn't realize I had purchased a set of two. I also like the long length, which allows my family more freedom to decide where to place the game console.
