    Probably an okay cable, unfortunately I couldn’t tell you because the plastic molding around the cable is way too big and doesn’t fit in our TV’s port. There’s no reason it needs to be that big.

      We appreciate your feedback on the cable you purchased. It's disappointing to hear that the plastic molding around the cable is excessively large, preventing it from fitting into your TV's port properly. We understand the frustration this may cause, and we apologize for any inconvenience. We'll take this information into consideration as we continuously work to improve our products and ensure they meet the needs of our customers. If you require further assistance or would like to explore alternative solutions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team for assistance.

    Worked fine. Easy to install and when the speaker connected and the volume was up had a buzzing sound I couldn’t get rid of .So then, it worked ok on lower volume.

    Wanted to get the 90 degree hdmi adapter but an associate told me that the optical cable would be better so i purchased it. After i had time to connect it, it would not let the soundbar operate with the main remote. You would have to use the separate remote which is not what i wanted. It took me longer than the 14 days to bring it back to exchange and was told that i could not exchange it. If i would have gotten the item i went in for i would not have had a problem and now i am stuck with a cable i cannot use

    I was told at Best Buy's that they come come any longer. It was too short. I found cables of all sizes online and ordered a 50' one which works perfectly.

    Don't know if it's just the nature of digital audio cables, but there is a slight millisecond delay to the audio. You can especially tell it when news anchors are talking.

    Won’t fit in the hole because of the bulky body of the chord base. Need the base to be smaller to stick in the Soundbar.
