    Great quality cable for the price. Using optical instead of hdmi pass through receiver for lower input lag on my xbox. Sound matches video so I’m happy

    I'm used to various older methods of connecting speakers to a tv and what not. I avoided fiber optic because I though it sounded gimmicky and I doubted it sounded better. But I was 100% wrong. The sound quality is SUPER crisp, clear and you catch all kinds of details you never noticed before. Never going back to any other type of connection. One thing I will say is instructions don't tell you that on the tips of the cord you have to take off the little plastic shields. I wondered why they didn't fit at first, then I noticed online it says you take the tips off.

    I bought this to replace the factory audio cable that came with my Bose Home theater system. This one is much stronger, longer and work's excellent!!

    I purchased this cable to hook our gaming TV up to a sound bar. It was easy to run through the wall and easy to connect to the sound bar. It provides great sound.

    I used the cable to connect a new soundbar I purchased from Best Buy. It was easy to install, it was the correct length for my configuration, and it works great.

    This optical cord delivers good sound as expected. I personally bought it because the cord that came with my soundbar were too short to reach the tv. These are the perfect length for an average sized entertainment center with the soundbar on the middle shelf.

    Digital sounds great thru my stero, it was really easy to hook up. Just let my stero stay on tv and sound comes out of everything that is hooked up to my tv

    These cables were recommended to by a Best Buy sales rep. I am very pleased with my sound, and the cables were long enough to give me flexibility.

    I already owned a cheap Digital Optical cable, but when I saw this for only $10, I couldn't pass it up. The quality is far more superb than the regular, cheap and thin Optical cables you would normally buy for less than $10. For $30, it's still good in terms of size and quality (you definitely won't have any audio bleed with this cable). The cable is very thick and gets the job done. Would I buy it for $30? Maybe, hard to say, but if I really needed another Digital Optical cable, then most likely yes. However, for $10? It's a steal!

    This audio cable was just the right length to connect my TV through the wall (hidden) to my new soundbar. Sound is great, couldn't be happier.

    Does exactly what it says it should do. Sounds good connecting a digital optical device and is a good size so you can connect devices without worrying if they will reach. Sound is on par with most other digital optical cables so no complaints there.

    Rocketfish optical cable is a nice thick cable, and good functonal length of cable, and easy to insert into flatscreen t.v. and the sound bar I also bought from Best Buy. This price was a great deal. Thanks, Best Buy

    I thought I needed a good quality long optical audio cable to connect my Smart TV to a surround sound system but it turned out I didn't. There was a lip sync problem with both DVDs and my DVR but I seriously doubt that the long optical cable had anything to do with it. After trying several configurations, I ended up connecting the surround sound system directly to the DVR, not through the TV, via a short optical audio cable. By the time I got things hooked up right, it was too late to return the long cable but I have it if I ever need it!

    I had recently purchased a sound system and used an older cable from my 10 year old system, but i was running into all sorts of issues, with connectivity being lost and system going quiet, i wanted to try this brand from Best Buy as it was on sale at a fraction of a top brand i won't mention, all my issues instantly disappeared, i have been using this cable for over 2 months with not a single complaint, i will highly recommend it to those who want quality product at a reasonable price
