I like them:
I heard such mixed reviews on these, I had concerns about the purchase. However, I took a chance, ordered two, and I am glad I did. These are as good as any other optical cables I have used(I have two others). The sound is fine and they connect just great. Since these are not a name brand, (mine came in an unmarked plastic bag) I do wonder if everyone is getting the same cables or if they are sent those made by various manufacturers.
Is this a toy?:
What I actually received was an "Optical Cable lite", as stated on the plastic bag, not what is named/ described
This cable is about 1/10 the thickness of the Targus $2 cables I'm using in my living room. The thickness of the end housing is about 3/4 of my other cables. With such small amount of protection around the wire, it's can't have the same protection that more standard cables have. It's the rubber around the wire that keeps your cables from interfering with one another.
I don't know how... more info
a bargain:
works like a charm.you would be nuts to pay what some stores charge for this.
Need an optical audio cable? Buy this one now.:
I have purchased 4 of these cables over the last several months and I have no complaints. This is one of those "it works or it doesn't" kind of things. 5 stars or 1 star. And this is definitely 5 stars. The build quality is solid, and there is no difference in audio quality between this cable and a $40+ optical cable from one of those other companies. Same goes with HDMI cables, by the way. All these great reviews don't lie. I was skeptical at first but at this price you can afford to take the risk,... more info
