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.

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.

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??

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.

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.
