5 out of 5 stars Never Buy Overpriced Cables
11 people found this review helpful.
My goal in life is to never buy overpriced cables. I figure that it is a cable and how could it break. After all it just sits there collecting dust. It's a digital signal going through glass/plastic fiber, there will be no difference compared to the $450 dollar AudioQuest class 5 optical cable - TosLink plugs 1m (3.28'). If you bought this $450 cable, I cry for you.

The cable is your basic black color and it looks as nice as a cable can look. The cable is flexible and bendy just like a cable should be. It is long. The connection fits snugly from my Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel A/V Receiver (Black) to my ancient Philips DirecTV DVR With 40GB TIVO.

It comes in a nice cardboard box that is so simple to open. You can then toss the packaging into your recycle bin for recycling.

5 out of 5 stars Anyone that it doesn't snap in is a dope like me
6 people found this review helpful.
If it doesn't snap you probably forgot to take the little rubber protectors off the end of the cable... like I did for about a minute. Once removed it snaps in perfectly.

The cable is high quality, long, and very flexible and has nicely constructed connectors. And it is about 1/4 the cost of radio sxxxx and bsst buy, both being rip-off artists on items like cables.

Its things like this that will make me a prime return customer. Who can't wait 2 days to save big bucks??

5 out of 5 stars These Really 'Sound' like Good Cables
16 people found this review helpful.
These cables are pretty awesome.

Initial setup (who cares): The cable came in an easy to open cardboard box. The plastic tips needed to be removed but that hardly was an issue given I have opposable thumbs.

Sound quality: The quality of the sound was on par with some of the more expensive cables I've had previously. I didn't notice any interference and it sounded fairly clear.

In general there isn't too much to say about this product; either it works or it doesn't work. It works and I recommend it.

1 out of 5 stars Doesnt "Snap" into place, and falls out easily
10 people found this review helpful.
I had ordered two of these cables to hook up my computer to my AV Receiver and another for the AV Receiver to the TV. I have used other Amazonbasics cables before and they have been very high quality so I thought that these would be very high quality as well. I was sadly disapointed when I actually tried them out, they dont "snap" into place like good optical cables do. At first I thought that maybe it was the port that I was connecting it to or that I wasnt pushing the cable in hard enough but after trying to push it in harder, trying it on the port in back of the computer, tv, and different ports on the receiver only to have the same thing happen every time I came to the conclusion that these fall off very easily. So I went online to read reviews on other optical cables, watch installation videos on youtube, and forums to see if other users have been having the same issues. It seems to be a very common issue with cheap optical cables.

I would suggest going with the Cables to GO brand of Optical Cables if your looking for Optical Cables that snap into place and wont fall off easily. Their 9ft cable (3 meters) has model# 40392 and the 6ft cable (2 meters) has Model #40391.

5 out of 5 stars fine cbles
2 people found this review helpful.

These cables work fine.
Once you remove the sheild and get them firmly in place they stay seated just fine.
If you have never used optical cables but have equipment that supports them , you are in for a pleasant surprise
in quality and ease of use.

1 out of 5 stars Does not stay attached to audio equipment
1 person found this review helpful.
The cable did not snap into place on either the Dish Network receiver or the Onkyo receiver. In fact, it was unusable on the Onkyo receiver as it would push itself out within seconds of establishing a connection. I am surprised that only one other reviewer commented on this problem. I called regarding the guarantee and was connected with a call center in China. They were very accomodating, but I never received any follow up information most likely due to lack of communication. Not worth pursuing a return given the low price.

5 out of 5 stars Great Product with a Great Price
1 person found this review helpful.
I ordered this cable to use with a new Roku HD Player and have been pleased with everything about this purchase. The packaging was quality and easy to open, the cable looks, feels, and has performed with the highest level of quality. I have nothing but praise for the Amazon Basics line as everything I've purchased from the line has been completely satisfactory. The cable snapped in and locked perfectly and I'm getting great sound.

If this sounds too enthusiastic to you, let me assure you I do not work for Amazon or any affiliate thereof and am nothing more than a satisfied customer.

I have also recently purchased the Gefen 5.1 digital to analog converter and ordered with it a 6 foot optical cable that was featured on the same page. When the cable came in it was the thinnest optical cable I had ever seen and came in a flat paper envelope that provided minimal protection. I'm happy to report that the cable was undamaged and seems to be working satisfactorily. Although that cable was cheaper, the huge difference in the appearance of quality of the product and the packaging is dramatic. I suppose that experience has encouraged my enthusiasm for the Amazon Basics product.

In the future I'll probably be more than willing to spend a few bucks more to get the Amazon Basics level of quality in product and packaging.

5 out of 5 stars Does the job and does it well
1 person found this review helpful.
Absolutely no difference in sound quality when compared to similar cables priced at $30 or more. It never ceases to amaze me that people believe that there is a difference in sound quality when it comes to fiber optic cables. A bitstream is a bitstream.. it cannot be corrupted unlike copper wiring or wireless connections. You pay $50, I'll pay $10, and we're both going to be listening to the same 5.1 channel bliss. :)

Btw.. the same goes for HDMI cables.. spend $5-$10..not $30-$100 for a 3-6' cable. There is no difference in quality.

Cable worked great connecting receiver and dvd player together. These cables are expensive elsewhere. I don't notice any difference between this one and Monster cables.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect!!!
1 person found this review helpful.
I looked at digital audio cables at numerous stores. The cheapest I found was $15.00. I thought to myself that there had to be a cheaper way, I then found this product. What a breath of fresh air. Perfect price, perfect product, perfect packaging. I will never buy another cable of any kind from anywhere other than Amazon.
