Better than WiFi.
Novice Audio from Treasure Coast, FL on 4/29/2025
Works as described. Better than WiFi. Picture is more stable and clearer. Considering my Router was next to my TV it was a no brainer to use an Ethernet cable rather than WiFi
Pros: Stable Clear Picture.
Cons: A little on the pricy side.

I'm a believer in quality cords!
Robert from Lexington Park, MD on 7/16/2023
I will preface this review noting I have not been a believer that high dollar cords are worth the extra dollars. My opinion has now changed! I purchased this Cat 7 ethernet cord to go with my new Bluesound Node to replace the Cat 5 that came with the Node. I immediately noticed better data transmission from my Orbi satellite to the Node. HiRes streaming from Qobuz sounded clearer and less "muddy". This ethernet cable combined with the Ethereal Velox Stereo RCA Audio Cables (outlet items for an awesome price), made for awesome sound reproduction through my Focal Chora 826s! The great thing, is while these are higher quality cords than the 'stock' cables that came with the Node, these are not 'break the bank' expensive, and are definitely worth the price! Be sure to measure how much cord you need! I missed the mark initially and had to order the 1.5M length.
Pros: Excellent data transmission!
Cons: Nada!

Quite Good!
Jake from Santa Barbara on 1/11/2023
Wasn't expecting the ethernet cable to be so important to the clarity of the sound, but there it is! Muffled cheesecloth sound gone, as are the harsh/hard highs. Deeper/stronger midrange, more open and effortless, natural timbre, soundstage definition, pretty much everything is better! Love it :)
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

Better SQ.
Hoyt from Reston, VA on 3/16/2017
I substituted this product for an off-the-shelf ethernet cable for my (1) audio file server and (2) player. I noticed better SQ. Well worth the $$. As we all know, in high-resolution audio, it's not simply "ones and zeros" over cables. It's about shielding for EMI and RFI. This product protects your audio "ones and zeros" from interference. Your ears will hear the SQ difference.
Pros: Build quality Improved sound quality
Cons: None

Nice Cat 6 cable
Crg from Birmingham, MI on 5/15/2016
It's ethernet, I know. I felt foolish buying it too but for the money and considering the money I have in the other cables, then why not. The quality seems great as always with Audioquest.

AudioQuest Forest ethernet cable
douglas882 from Anniston, AL on 11/4/2014
Great cable for upgrade from stock ethernet cable. There is a clear improvement in streaming audio quality; this upgrade is a relatively low cost improvement over stock cables.
Pros: Cost, build quality, sound improvement.
Cons: None, for this price.
