I'm one of those unscientific audiophiles who actually believe that cables can change the way a system sounds. Having just purchased two digital components from Laiv, I needed an I²S (via HDMI) cable to connect them.

I found a review of HDMI cables on PT Audio, where they compared this Monoprice to a $3K Audioquest. Their take on the Monoprice was: "There were no signs of harshness, no fatigue produced even after hours of listening." which was more important to me (especially with digital audio) than that last ounce of resolution.

I haven't done any comparisons with more expensive silver cables, but this cable met Laiv's 'Keep the cable as short as possible' criteria, along with my personal 'Do nothing wrong'. At <$9, this cable from Monoprice was a great place to start with I²S audio.

Great specs and quality, awesome customer service, shipping rate too high due to lack of shipping rate options.

Works perfectly. Thank you.

Solid cable perfect for my needs. (game console to audio extractor)

I had my 4K OLED TV hooked up to the 4K cable box with an "8K@60Hz / 4K@120Hz" cable from Cable Connections. The thing was beautiful and looked as reassuringly expensive as it was. It had a "braided exterior and sleek Zinc-alloy plug shields."

The TV has so-called AI audio built in. When my sound bar died, I started using the TV's speakers. It was not a good experience! For other reasons, I bought this cable. I plugged it in when it arrived because it would be neater than the coiled 6' cable.

It turns out the TV's audio is vastly superior to the Viz sound bar, but the cable I was using was inferior to the TV. What?!? OMG.

Like I said, I didn't know what I was missing. I'm glad I bought four more MP HDMI cable in different lengths as part of this order, and it makes me feel warm inside that I have them... aww. Well done.

It works exactly the way it's supposed to -- connecting a DVD/SACD player to the receiver for surround-sound SACD-specific playback.

Works great and very fairly priced.

Great cable

It is a nice product, I am using it to connect my Panasonic disc player to my Essence 5.1 DAC for surround sound music.

Write your review here. It must be at least 10 characters long. Different types of HDMI cables do exist, but their designations indicate how much data they can carry. (Spoiler: There’s really no such thing as a 4K HDMI cable.)nsider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.
