    The 6' FO Audio Cable is absolutely perfect - long enough to make for an easy connection, but not so long as to leave a nest of snakes. Simple enough that I could talk someone through the process over the phone - and restored the beautiful sound quality we're used to having!

    This Insignia 6' Toslink Optical Audio Cable is a perfect fit for my television audio hook up. Great price compared to other brands, but the quality is what I really like. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

    Fixed Sound issues

    We recently bought a new Samsung TV and Samsung sound bar - the optical cord that came with the sound bar was too short, so we linked to the TV via bluetooth. It would work well *most* of the time, then the sound would cut out intermittently. I bought this longer cable and now the sound is perfect.

    I needed a Toslink cable to connect an XBOX One to my home theater receiver. I picked up this cable from my local Best Buy and it fit the bill for my needs. No kinks, long enough to meet my requirements, and getting my digital audio as needed. A solid choice for those who like to build out their digital entertainment systems on a budget.

    I used this connection to go directly from new Smart TV I purchased from Best Buy directly to AV Receiver so my sound projects from my 5.1 surround sound system speakers instead of TV speakers. For the 4K picture signal, I used high-speed HDMI cable directly from TV cable box to TV. All working great.

    I'm disabled at home most of the time so. I hooked up my speakers to my TV with these optical cables. To get a new experience while watching movies. The sound was like I'm in a movie theater. Excellent sound!

    Had to buy one of these to transfer sounds from my TV to my surround sound system when I bought a 4k tv as my recieved wasn't 4k capable. This piece right here saved the day. Easy to install and inexpensive so it's a Win win.

    Everything goes through my surround sound system and I have never needed anything but HDMI cables until I now have a Smart TV and was unable to get the sound to come through the surround sound system using the Apps on the TV until I finally broke down and bought this digital optical device. Honestly, I was expecting it to be far behind the HDMI cables, but I could not tell a difference between the HDMI cables and this digital optical cord, I was pleasantly surprised. now, all of the apps will play through the surround sound with this little fix and is very inexpensive as well.

    When a new cable box was installed, the provider did not reconnect our surround sound system. After speaking with them, they said it was up to us to handle. Best Buy to the rescue once again. The cable we purchased did the trick. Correct length for our need and a good quality for the price.

    I hooked up a new TV to my older receiver for my sound system. The new TV did not have all of the old RCA connections. I never knew about digital audio cables. I bought this at Best Buy, plugged it in and immediately my surround system worked. With about a dozen less cables. Very nice product.

    I needed a digital optical audio cable to connect my non-wifi audio amp to my new DVD Blue Ray player. One can most definitely pay a whole lot more but this Insignia brand cable is a low cost, same high quality, value for small change. An excellent value.

    No frills cable that does exactly what I need. These optical cables can be sensitive and I have had to purchase a couple over the years. This is a basic cable, but does exactly what you need—carry the digital signal The price is right too!

    Purchased this cable for a fraction of the cost of the more expensive, name brand cables. Definitely not dissatisfied as this cable is connected to my receiver and the sound is incredible. I would definitely recommend this product to family and friends.

    Optical Audio Cable Brought My Soundbar Alive!

    After messing around with TV's, DVD players and soundbars after a move back to Indianapolis somehow what came up missing was optical audio cables. Silly me kept trying all kind of things and ways to make it work then in frustration went to Best Buy where a nice young man explained this was what I was missing and as soon as I saw the cable ends knew he was right. Got home and in minutes had high definition stereo sound! Thanks Best Buy!

    I connected my new speakers (a different story) with this cable. The sound is pure and crystal clear, much better than that via AUX or Bluetooth. Must change the TV audio setting to PCM. The price is good as well.
