Premium sound: my feedback

Super clear audio. The cable is heavier than the connection allows for it to stay in place. Plan to support the weight and enjoy the sound quality.

Pros
  • Works okay if you can fit it in the slot of your TV
Cons
  • Doesn't work with Apple devices without the use of an adapter

Heavy Duty best in my review

This is the most substantial optical cable I’ve ever seen. Most are very thin and easily broken IMO. It would take a knife or scissors to cut this one.

Pros
  • Good sound
Cons
  • Prone to tangling and cable management issues

Best policy is not only honestly is humanity kind.

I didn't know that this company's product is made in Germany, not china. Now I know why the customer service at this company they contact me ! they want to know about their product and did their customers are satisficed of their product. This kind of good customer service it looks doesn't exist or I was lucky here I got an email after I was forgotten about the whole cable; regarding of my question " does your optical cables work with such brand of home sound system" I found this sound fiber…

Pros
  • Perfect length....of course I measured what I needed. Works with 4K OLED tv. No problems. Easy hook up.
Cons
  • Limited color options

appears robust best in my review

I have several optical cables and this one appears very robust and works great with my LG 65" TV and my LG sound bar. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Was just what I needed. Provided great sound for a new sound bar.
Cons
  • Requires careful handling when bending or twisting the cable

Fits perfectly, not coming loose.

Just got this in today and first off the quality feels good. Nice thick cable, probably well insulated. Many of the reviews say how it does not fit correctly or it comes loose. I do not know what the

Pros
  • Used it for ceiling speakers into receiver
Cons
  • Short length can't solve wiring problems for larger rooms

Success connecting smart TV to Denon AL24 AVR

My goal was to run sound from my new Samsung smart TV through my old Denon AVR. Success! The audio sounds great. I am using the optical-in port for satellite on the Denon.

Pros
  • Well made
Cons
  • Limited warranty period

Unexpected surprise

So I initially bought this to replace the stock cable that came with my sound bar. We had re-arranged the entertainment center and needed a longer cable. Saw this cable and it was a good price for what i needed. Arrived on time and as expected. Plugged this into the tv and sound bar. and I have to say, it may just be me, but it sounds a TON better than it did with the old cable. Seems like I am getting more volume out of the bar and clearer if that at all makes sense. I am not a sound fanatic…

Pros
  • Ideal for transmitting digital audio from your TV, video game console (PS3/PS4/Xbox One), DVD/Blu-ray player or TV streaming box to a soundbar, an amplifier/amp, or a stereo/Hi-Fi system, D/A converter, etc.
Cons
  • May not work with low-output sound devices like smartphones or basic laptops

Works, sounds good in my review

I bought the Ebay Basics cable and it was having issues. This cable sounds better and I haven't had any issues with audio cutting out.

Pros
  • Works perfectly
Cons
  • Price point may be too high compared to the overall value of the product

Doesn't lock in the outlet

Decent cord, but it does not stay in the slot it is connected to. I tried a friends cable and it locked in much better. That is my only gripe. Hopefully when i upgrade to a more sturdy desk it will not matter any longer.

Pros
  • Excellent
Cons
  • Doesn't support 4k resolution

Nice. Well built. for my opinion

I use this to connect my TV to my sounbar. The audio is clearer, particularly in the mids and upper registers. Nicely constructed and appears to be made to last.Replaced a too long major branded cable with this one, as I didn't need 2 meters any more.

Pros
  • Great quality product. Great sound.
Cons
  • May not deliver as good sound quality as other high-end cables

As Advertised - my new review

Works great connecting my digital TV to my older analog stereo using an analog-to-digital converter box. Works perfectly. The cable is well constructed and should last as long as my stereo.

Pros
  • Standard Packaging
Cons
  • Susceptible to damage from overheating or high temperatures

AS good as it gets without going broke.

I've used optical cables for years, and they do sound great but with many devices the cheap plastic tipped ones move around and you end up having to make adjustments because the sound quality isn't that great and the plastic pieces shift around and distort the audio. Well I decided to try these to fix that because I got tired of trying to find the sweet spot to keep my older cables from sounding like crap. I was happier than I expected when these arrived and I connected them. The sound quality…

Pros
  • Works as well as higher priced cable.
Cons
  • Poor customer support

Very Well Made Cable

I decided to purchase this cable when I was going through my home theater surround system setup. I noticed my stereo was always displaying an "analog connection" message, but never knew why. So when using my stereo to play the sound from my TV, which was connected via RCA cables, it was limiting the signal quality to analog using the RCA connection.The difference in the quality of the sound is not over the top, but it's quite noticeably better. So for a $10 investment I now have my system…

Pros
  • Great quality
Cons
  • Not optimized for extreme high or low frequencies

We have an older, and I mean 25 year little stereo set that we always play movies through the TV or music. This year we purchased a huge TV and with the newer tv’s there are not as many ports, etc on the back of them. My husband needed this cable to hook up so we have surround sound again and it worked great. Now we have theater quality in our family room with movies and music we all love.

Pros
  • Shorter cable to connect the TV to sound bar.
Cons
  • Tends to break easily if not handled with care

Great sound and product quality.

Hooked the cable up to my sound system and the quality is great. I was a bit concerned with the cable length, but it works great. Easy to hook up. Shipped quick, packaged well, in great condition. I would recommend this product.

Pros
  • TOSLINK
Cons
  • Not optimized for long-term use in commercial settings

Awesome built quality

I was used to using the cables that my sound systems brought and they broke easily (too thin). These replacements actually were the best thing to happen with my audio needs. The cable thickness, the connector build and the audio quality was a much needed upgrade. Will certainly buy more. if I ever need to again.

Pros
  • If you need a longer cable, this is it. It works great for a good price.
Cons
  • Prone to signal dropouts

GREAT CABLE.NOT SO GREAT ENDS!

Let me tell ya.this is ONE.STURDY.CABLE! Sound quality is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G but the reason for the four stars is because the tips do NOT wanna stay in very well. Since the cable is so heavy and the ends are so small the cable likes to kind of dangle JUST a tad and it doesn't fit into my sound bar or Playstation 4 very well. Now it isn't a problem because it's not like I'm moving my sound bar or PS4 or anything so it's not like the cable is falling out all the time but it does seem like they could…

Pros
  • 1.6 ounces
Cons
  • Not optimal for large group settings like conferences or seminars

Great Audio Cable good for me

This is very well made cable in the Pro Audio category. I used it with my audio interface that had the connectors too close together for other cable because of the wider plug end. This may be more expensive than other cable but it is very much worth it.

Pros
  • Works good, and the length is just right to keep it hidden. Nothing much else to say.
Cons
  • Poor resistance to physical damage like crushing or impact

Better sound then HDMI

I used this product for an inside the wall install to another room where my AV gear is. I ordered the longest they had available. The connectors seat very well into the opening and feel very secure. The quality to my Atmos setup is much better switching from HDMI.

Pros
  • Male
Cons
  • Unreliable performance in settings with high-voltage electrical devices

High Quality Optical Cable

Good material, construction and design. Heavy gauge. The cable comes comes with caps to protect the optical connectors.

Pros
  • I needed the length to run wires behind wall,worked out perfect
Cons
  • Tends to perform poorly in humid or wet environments
