Product Reviews
Great sturdy quality. NO HYPE, Great price!
Perfect! Well made, great end on this thick cable. DON’T LET ANYONE SELL YOU A MORE EXPENSIVE CABLE! Remember it’s transmitting a DIGITAL SIGNAL! Think of Sirius radio, it’s digital, either you hear music or you don’t. Same hear, if it’s transmitting the signal it will be the SAME with this cable or a $1200. This is an unregulated industry. It’s not illegal to lie about what these cables can do. Bottom line. If you buy a more expensive cable only expect a better build quality. It WILL NOT IMPROVE PICTURE QUALITY OR AUDIO QUALITY. after returning a few, this on fits the bill for me. Good sturdy quality. Reasonable price.
Won’t Fit Panasonic TV
Cable will not plug into a Panasonic Viera TV model TC-P55VT60 purchased Aug 2013. Won’t fit. Mediabridge rep said not all optical cables fit all uses. So either there is no plug and receptacle digital optical cable product standard, hard to believe, or someone is not following it. Rep suggested I call Panasonic to see what brands work with their TVs. The cable fit my 2 yr old Pioneer 7.1 receiver. Probably not fair to give the cable a “1” but I can’t use it.
but this cable had more flexibility and was packaged much better. Don’t get me wrong
High quality cable! I have ordered several different optical cables to run between an Oppo BluRay BDP-83 unit and Klipsch sound bar, and all provide the same sound quality (as to be expected), but this cable had more flexibility and was packaged much better. Don’t get me wrong, it’s “beefy” - probably more than it needs to be (just look at the stock cable that comes with any TV or disc player….less than spaghetti, but it’s only transmitting light, and that is all that’s needed). However, when you start strapping a good five to ten cables together with zip ties behind your components (including power cables, which is questionable), it’s nice to know a bit more shielding is involved. Also seems to work great for in-wall runs between the TV and components. Would gladly order again. Don;t forget the rotating 90 degree adapters depending on your setup!
Been Working Great for Two Years and Still Going!
I bought this Optical (SPDIF) cable to work with my Orei DA34X Premium Digital to Analog Audio Decoder SPDIF/Coaxial 5.1-Channel Input to RCA L/R/3.5mm Headphone Output to port the sound from our 60” flat screen television to our analog surround sound system.Worked great right out of the package and is still working great today - after about two years of operation.Would I recommend this product? Yes, I do.Mediabridge Toslink Cable (6 Feet) - Optical Digital Audio Cable
Fragile plastic ends - not recommended
I purchased a number of Toslink Cables over the years. Some were Mediabridge brand and some Amazon Basics.The Mediabridge cables have all broken - the plastic on the end that surrounds the fiber optic center has broken on the Meidabridge cables… the Amazon Basic cables are still going strong.
The Best Audio Optical Cord I Have Ever Used!
I was extermely impressed with this Optical Audio Cord because I am new to this type of audio cord I never used it before but I love the quality of audio I get out of it but here was my dilema I had a Optical Cord already but everytime a song got played that had a high frequency range the audio will cut out, now I assumed it was the Optical part had some dust or something so I disconnect it and blow and blow and clean but that wasnt the case cause when I played a song (rap bass) with a low frequency notes it played flawlessly but soon as I changed back to a more high note type of music the audio would cut out. That is why I purchased this Optical Cord, 1 for the money, 2 for the length and I was impressed!The quality of this Optical cord blows my old one away, and off the top I replaced my old one with this one and the audio no longer cut out on those high frequency songs anymore problem solved. This cord is literally 6x thicker then my previous one and is as the same thickness as my studio monitoring headphones audio jack cord that cost (over $300) so this cord is of high quality. It comes in a box not a plastic bag like most audio cords do that come from the same price range, all in all I will buy again if I ever need another Optical Audio Cord again.
Mediabridge - Good for me
Mediabridge is currently in the headlines of the popular press because Amazon has reportedly banned Mediabridge for threatening to sue a reviewer of one it is router products.I have only purchased various types of Mediabridge cables (never a more intricate product such as a router). I have been happy with the performance of the Mediabridge products I have purchased. The company sends follow-up communications inviting comments and product support questions. I have never had the need for any support follow-up.I do not know the substance of the negative review, Mediabridge’s threatened legal actions, or Amazon’s investigation and exile the company. Two things I do know: (1) I have been happy with the company and its products. (2) I have read reviews for other products where the reviewer appeared to have little understanding of the product, its features, and proper use.If someone were to write a review that contains demonstrably false information (AND I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT IS THE CASE FOR THE MEDIABRIDGE STORY) I believe that the company has every right to seek a correction. The reviewer may be unhappy for any reason and give the company 1 star. But if the reviewer writes things that are false, Mediabridge should seek a correction and Amazon should support its vendor. Accuracy in the reviews (both positive and negative) is important to the reviews being helpful in making purchase decisions.
P.O.S. COULD RUIN YOUR DEVICES*
Bought this cable and it worked fine for 4 years then it unexpectedly stopped working. I pull the sound-bar forward to innspect and apparently the cable had broken, god knows how…
