Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the excellent picture quality, reliable HDMI connectivity, and good overall performance. They also appreciate the variety of cable lengths and fast speeds. However, some customers find the product to be on the higher end of the price spectrum. A few users also mention concerns about cable flexibility and compatibility with certain monitors, though lag is rarely reported as an issue.

    This is my third 'Rocketfish' HDMI cable. The first purchase was their 4K cable. I was not impressed with the performance of that cable. So, when I needed another longer HDMI cable, I chose the 8K, because it was on sale. I was not disappointed. It was a far superior cable to the 4K. This time I needed another longer cable at 12 feet. Rocketfish was the only manufacturer to make a cable in that length. The competition was all limited to 10 feet. However, it was not on sale, which put it in the price range of Audioquest, but they were limited to 10 feet. As for performance, I find it bright, colorful, with good detail. I put it on par with my AudioQuest and Anker cables. The major difference is size. The Rocketfish cables are thick and bulky, but they bend easier than AudioQuest. This may affect installation.

    My TV is above the fireplace mantle and my PlayStation is to far away for the provided cable to reach. I got this cable, so it would still be compatible with the HDMI 2.1 quality and not affect the picture quality of the PS5. It's a nice cable, and the variety of lengths that they offer are good for any setup. My only concern is that the plugs get a little warm during use. Nothing too concerning, but I'm not sure if other cables do this or not.

    I used this HDMI Cable to connect my Gaming PC to my Gaming Monitor and the results are as expected, flawless! I used this hdmi cable and did not disappoint. I did not have any issues with the hdmi cable, I like I was able to get the length I needed instead of being limited to a certain size that requires more often than not to hide the excess of the cable. I am thinking of replacing all my hdmi cables for this.

    I use this cable to connect an Apple TV 4K to my TV and I haven’t had any issues with it. This cable is such a huge upgrade compare to my previous high definition HDMI cable. I now have access to all the highest picture and sound quality settings on the apple TV using this ultra high definition cable. There are cheaper alternatives out there but I would definitely recommend this cable.

    This is what I needed to run my pc and ps5 games at 4k with 60 frames per second on my tv. It wasn't clear to me at the time that this "HDMI 2.1 " certified but i was told that a cable rated for 8k was the way to go. excellent cable.

    The HDMI cable wiper was amazing and worked perfectly right out of the box. I was able to connect my monitor to my Mac mini with no issues at all, and the picture quality was clear and stable. The cable feels well made and reliable, not cheap or flimsy. Overall, I’d give this a 10 out of 10. I really like this brand and will definitely buy more HDMI cables from them in the future when I need them.

    I have a Apple 4K TV. It was experiencing random drop outs. Had som high speed cables (Monster UHD 21Gbs) I went on all the Apple forums to find out why this kept happening. The consensus was the cables weren’t fast enough. I was going to but the Belkin 4K cables that were recommended by Apple for what would have been a higher price. Search the BB web site and Rocketfish came up. These are highly rated and certified by HDMI.org. If it doesn't have the sticker, its not certified. Bought them (5) to replace all the cabling for my HT system. Did an update and everything seems to be clearer and sharpers. The colors just pop! It has only been a week, but I have experienced no drop outs or blocking. I will give it some more time and will update if there are any changes.

    Decided to upgrade our HDMI cords as was having issues with new receiver and tv. After uograding the issues we had went away with the arc issues and have noticed a difference in picture quality. The previous cabkes said 8k as well but were an off brand and did provide the same quality. Paying more for great cables is worht it.

    I know next to nothing about the differences in the quality of HDMI cables. This one was recommended by a very knowledgeable tech guy at BB and I trusted his no-pressure advice. With the cable plugged into the arc/e-arc HDMI port on my new Sony Bravia TV, the result is that I have the sharpest picture and sound quality ever especially when I'm watching a blu-ray on my upscaling Panasonic 4k player! Bit pricey for an HDMI cable but not nearly as much as some others.

    High Bandwidth, Less AV Bugs

    Bought this for my VIZIO Elevate to connect to the eARC port on my LG C1. The HDMI cable that came w/ the soundbar was only High Speed (2.0), and also without Ethernet. Although the eARC protocol only calls for a max of 18Gbps if you are NOT passing through video, bugs are more likely to arise as you're passing through information through a pipe that is completely filled. With an Ultra High Speed HDMI (2.1) @48Gbps capacity, the same amount of information (metadata) is being transferred via a larger pipe, and this HDMI cable also has Ethernet which in cases is necessary to properly passthrough lossless Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, etc. After equipping this cable to my Elevate & LG C1, I've run into fewer bugs than before, and b/c of eARC the same Netflix streams, BluRay's, etc sound more crisp due to being Full-FAT audio. A little pricey, but does provide peace of mind.

    Awesome cable that works for 120hz 4K. It is on the expensive side compared to some similar cables from Amazon, but I feel that if you needed a cable quickly from the store that is certified to work, these cable will do the job.
