« Its Fiber Optics - yep it works »

I find no difference between this Monster Optical cable and the ones my wife picked up for me at Target (I think they were Sony). Point being it is an Optical cable made of fiber optics. For these short runs, a cable is a cable is a cable, if it passes light - it works. Unlike copper where conductivity matters and the many technologies behind wire twists, oxygen free copper, and so on, an Optical cable is simply a piece of silicon wrapped in fancy sheathing, good packaging and aesthetically pleasing colors. If it passes light - it works.

Point being is that this cable did what it was supposed to do - it passed light transmission from one piece of A/V gear to another and does its job well. One major issue I did have was the connector end stays in the unit if I unplug it, I have to reassemble the cable/connector before inserting it again, otherwise it works just fine.

« Who wants to throw away their money. »

These are digital cables. To get to the point, digital means all or nothing, no in between. Therefore a pair of these for 16 bucks have the same performance as these:

for $0.01

If you read anyone who says these beat the cheaper ones are either smoking the good stuff or working for Monster cable company...or both.

« I was BLOWN away from the sound quality of this compared to lower end monster optical »

I am not an audiophile, but I do want things to sound good. My cheaper monstor optical cable seemed to not deliver the sound i waned. I purchased this one and hooked it up and was immediately blown away. The sound was so much better. For me, why have an expensive audio system if you don't have good sound connectors. I am so glad I made this purchase. The cable is made from far better and thicker material than their cheaper version. This is important because with optical cables as they bed (or get stepped on my a dog or a cat), they can lose quality. Also the connectors on these are 1000% better than the connectors on the low end monster cable.

I received genuine products brand new in genuine packaging though a seller who ships through amazon's prime program (i think that they may have a higher standard for people who do that, but it comes back to amazon if there is a problem.

« Monster's optical cables »

For those of us that have older receivers without HDMI inputs this is the way you want to connect your HD sources! I'll agree that Monster overcharges for most of their cables, but when it comes to optical cables Monster is the one you want! Monster has been making excellent optical cables for ages, why buy cheap optical cables?
