    Why Spend More

    I bought this product for my PS4. The sound quality is just as good as the higher end cables. I have a higher end cable and I tested both with the same scene. There is no difference between this $7.00 cable and a $30.00 Monster Cable. Even their HDMI cables have proven to be just as good. Do yourself a favor and don't spend the money on the higher end cables. Try these out. You'll thank me later for saving the money. Or, buy both and take one back after you perform a "side by side" test. You'll probably take back the higher end.

    Quality cable

    I recently moved my television to a higher location and my current optical cable wasn't long enough, so I had to order a longer cable. The price of the longer cables was more than I wanted to spend. Then I saw this cable at a very reasonable price, so I bought it. Upon opening the package, the build quality immediately caught my attention. This cable was decidedly thicker than the cable I was replacing. After connecting it to my TV and sound bar, everything worked as expected. Bottom line: it pays to do research before purchasing. I could have easily spent four times the amount of money on this cable had I not perused the Best Buy website. If you're looking for a replacement cable, I would recommend this one.

    This is exactly what it says, a good digital audio cable that is plenty long to connect my Monoprice Soubdbar to our Visio TV. Was easy to connect and have had no issues, audio is excellent and price is very reasonable, sounds as good as more expensive cables

    The price was very good and delivery was quick. The cable works as expected: provides good digital sound. It does not click into place like some better made ends, but so far hasn’t fallen out and I wouldn’t expect it to as my cables are out of the way and not disturbed. IDK why my nickname here is “real”, bu who cares. :)

    I bought this for a sound bar that I bought, and I had to have it shipped to me. The optical audio cables they sell in the local Best Buys cost a lot more. The Dynex brand is usually pretty good quality and at a good price, but it seems you can only buy them on Best Buy's website and not in their stores. Probably because the price is so good.

    12' is more than enough for my 75 inch tv connected to sound bar. Before we had smaller tv and all wires were sitting on the cabinet. Now tv is hanged on the wall and wires are running behind drywall makes clean look. Sound bar is 5 inch below tv-set. Before we had top quality, 4' optical cable. I don't see / hear any difference before and after.

    It’s an optical SPDIF cable, and it works great. Not the thickest optical cable I’ve seen, but certainly better quality than the thin little things some manufacturers give you. Good cable at a good price that does what it’s supposed to. Can’t ask for more than that!

    This cable was needed to connect my sound bar to the t.v. And worked perfectly and was a major price bargain to boot. Down side was the store did not stock this cable and I had to web order it and pick it up at my local store.....it took the better part of a week for it to come in.

    Cheap but good.. I used to be hesitant in buying Dynex products but after few buys and this is one of them, I started liking the features and quality at such lower rate.

    This cable was easy to use and had worked great over the past two years in our home theater set up. It was exactly what I needed without breaking the bank.

    I had geek squad mount my tv and had the wires hidden. My soundbars wire was too short so I ordered this one. Great length and fit perfect in my Samsung sound bar.

    For some reason every audio system you get includes the tiniest shortest optic cable with it. Found this and love it You won't go wrong with both the price and the quality.

    Don’t buy any other optical cable but this one. Affordable and long in length. Those $20 ones do the same as this one.
