Not Worth the Hype for my opinion

After trying this HDMI connection, I wasn't impressed. The audio and video quality were subpar, despite its supposed "active" capabilities. The only positive is that it fit snugly into my camera's HDMI port. However, the cons overwhelmingly outweigh this one positive aspect. Save yourself the disappointment and invest in a higher-quality HDMI connection.

Pros
  • Delivers high-quality audio and video signals with minimal distortion
Cons
  • Has a higher price point compared to other HDMI cables

Overpriced but reliable.

I use them because while I don't think the picture quality is magically better, they work consistently and reliably. the cheapest version this company sells. If you have the energy to install things more than once, or replace as needed, I highly recommend going for the cheaper option.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

But if this is your last option

I had 2 of these cables. The first one was very buggy, from screen flashes to tearing to a static image, so I replaced it. The new cable sometimes drops frames or breaks every 15 minutes or so, but unfortunately there aren't many other cable options and I just wasn't frustrated enough to find another cable option. AudioQuest was good for me, but not this time.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Little things
