Worth it upgrade

Paul from Plainfield, IL on 1/10/2023

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Purchased these cables after discussing what system I have and what my expectations were moving forward. I'm planning to have these cables in my system for some time viewing everything from sports to old movies. so the choice was pretty clear to me building a system that was 8K compatible. Once installed I saw that they were a huge improvement over the old HDMI cables I had previously.

Pros: Better picture clarity Smooth more lifelike picture

Cons: None

made a difference

These really made a difference. So much negativity about things like this for your home audio system. I found from my experience that hdmi and speaker wires can make a difference. Started off with the Forest 48, then Cinnamon 48 to the Carbon 48 and finally the Vodka 48. Every time i went up in the series i noticed a difference, until the Vodka 48. No need to to go above the Carbon 48. I couldn't tell a difference from the carbon 48 and Vodka 48, plus the Vodka 48 or over $500 a cable. When i say difference (better audio quality and video quality)

Pros: Does make a difference in audio quality and video quality

Cons: Can get expensive the higher you go up the series.

AudioQuest Carbon 48 HDMI Cables

Robert from FARMINGTON HLS, MI on 5/9/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

The idea of spending this much money on HDMI cables was not initially considered. My wife and I had purchased a nice 4K television but once installed we were not amazed with the picture quality. The picture did not express the 3-dimensional depth of field and visual sharpness at all. I had grabbed a new $40 HDMI cable when I made that purchase, and almost immediately I began to think that was a mistake. So, I did a lot of research regarding HDMI cable contribution to picture quality. As a result of my cable study, I decided to invest in these AudioQuest Carbon 48 cables! This turned out to be the best possible solution to bringing out the finest detail and 3-dimensional images that our 4K television was capable of. I have zero regrets in spending this much money on first class cables!

Pros: Transformed the definition and picture quality of our 4K television.

Cons: None

Divine sound

Makes a huge difference. Had 4k hdmi previously. Upgrade creates clear, concise sound. No attenuation. Worth the money if you have it. Waited decades for home theater setup.

Pros: All of the above

Cons: Very stiff. But malleable.

I know the cable is expensive but well worth the money for the improvements in picture and sound quality. I am happy that Crutchfield carries quality products like audio quest.

Pros: Sound and picture quality improvement.

Cons: Price.

Great cable for my use as 4k HDMI 2.0

Crutchfield customer from Monroe, WA on 2/17/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Fantastic cable with the understanding that it has top notch build quality. First, this isn't a review of its hdmi 2.1 capabilities (which can only be found in gaming currently). That spec is very slow to certify those 2.1 cables, in the mean time for lower demanding equipment (movies in 4K) I find this cable to work perfectly! Does it beat out my old hdmi cable, yes. Where is the sweet spot to deliver more than the bandwidth and idea signal without spending too much? Not sure.

Pros: Zero complaints about signal quality, sound, throughout. Beautiful picture on my OLED and great sound via my processor.

Cons: The cable is stiff! The input of my processor is upside down and the output of my device is right side up. Took some work to gently get the cable to allow this without forcing or straining the line.
