Good purchase
Loy from Hagerstown, MD on 4/17/2023
excellent product, as good as more expensive brands..first tested Arc from television to Denon receiver, then tested Arc from sound bar to television than tested speed , drop frames playing sports games on Xbox 360..performed flawlessly..only small complaint, when I switched to another brand hdmi cable, the video was more vibrant..not going to mention that particular cable because I am not doing free advertising. Trust, you will not be disappointed purchasing this product

Never regret a good cable
Ken from Maplewood, NJ on 3/28/2023
Great cable / value, I have almost always used AudioQuest cable, and typically regret the instances when I went for a cheaper alternative, the Pearl 48 is not much of a premium over the alternatives, this 3M version replaces a shorter version of same cable for new installation, Also Crutchfield shipped quickly and are in my experience great to work with, Cheers K
Pros: works great

Quality cables!
Daniel from LOS OSOS, CA on 2/24/2023
This cable feels very well made. I hooked it up to my PS5 and it passes a 4K/120hz signal without issue. I wouldn't spend hundreds or thousands on a cable even if I could afford it but I do think spending a little extra for a quality product is always a good idea. The certified hologram is scannable as well! I ordered three more for the rest of my system.
Pros: Does what it claims. Good material and build quality.
Cons: As others have mentioned it is a bit stiff.

Too much GOOD
Charles from Denver, CO on 1/4/2023
It may have actually been too much good. I had to reset and reconfigure all of my equipment. Not to worry the Picture and Audio were fine, it was the connections that got messed up.
Pros: The Video was fine, and though I did reconfigure all of my settings and I am not sure if it was a setting or the cable that made the difference. Audio was fine.
Cons: Though this was just one step up in Tech, the CEC, and other connections for things like linking volume and power On/Off... it cause me to have to reset everything and start from scratch. Probably MY FAULT. I don't mind taking the blame if it was my fault

Hayden from SOUTH WEBER, UT on 12/19/2022
Fantastic HDMI cable. I have 2 of them hooked to my Apple TV 4K and Xbox Series X and the quality is outstanding. No jitter or interference, amazing picture quality, top notch gaming performance. ARC works flawlessly, I can basically use my Apple TV as a universal remote because of the awesome ARC qualities this HDMI cable provides. Can't go wrong with AudioQuest.

I was having signal issues and discovered that the HDMI cables I bought in the early 2000's were breaking down. Called and talked to Artie and we got the right cables in the right standard of quality necessary to resolve my problem. Artie was spot on in his recommendations and all is well now! As usual...the folks at Crutchfield get it right! Much appreciated!!
Pros: Everything about the customer service experience.

Improved clarity and extremely crispier picture
Victor A. from Brownsville, TX on 3/18/2022
Definitely an improvement to my PlayStation 5 console and my Roku box. The picture looks extremely crispier and the clarity of the sound coming out of my Denon AVR-4311CI has improved tremendously! Will buy it again. Downloaded APp HDMI Certification to authenticate the AudioQuest Pearl 48. The app confirmed the quality to be positive!! See picture attached. Happy customer with the purchase and Crutchfield!

All HDMI cables are the same. Well I found out that is untrue. Needed to upgrade cables to get the most out of my NAD C700 and the eARC HDMI input/output. Immediately saw a difference in streaming and video games. To be fair I was replacing cables from Radio Shack if that is an indication of how old they are. Still the new Pearl 48 is doing a great job at a reasonable price

Amazing cables.
Crutchfield customer from St Martinvlle, LA on 8/30/2021
I had a trusted brand of HDMI cables prior to upgrading to a 4K setup. I was disappointed with the picture quality I was getting with them with the new equipment. I was hesitant to spend more more on more cables in addition to buying a new tv. I always heard of Audioquest but never used any of their products. OMG it was like in the Wizard if Oz going from black and white to color. All colors on screen were more bright and vibrant. And it even fixed a very sight lip sync issue I was having with my previous cables and setup. I'm definitely balling on a budget. The Audioquest Pearl 48GB cables are great entry level cables. I can only imagine what their higher end cables are capable of doing performance wise.
Pros: Performance is outstanding.
Cons: Odd length choices.

Strong link
Eric from EARLYSVILLE, VA on 8/20/2021
I was having issues with an AppleTV 4k when streaming 4k content. My my picture was great but the audio would drop out every 15 seconds or so. I replaced an existing premium cable with one of these and haven't had an issue since. A signal is only as good as it's weakest link and cable is a very strong link.
Pros:
Cons: These cables are directional, so you have to be careful which way you plug it in.

Pearl 48 is my UHD cable of choice.
Crutchfield customer from Reston, VA on 5/13/2021
I had previously purchased other "4k" cables and connected them to my new 4k DVD player. The result was periodic popping, cracking, and freezing of dvd playback. When I installed the AudioQuest Pearl 48, all those problems disappeared. Bandwidth in cables does make a difference and the Pearl 48 is my new standard.

Pricey but worth it
Crutchfield customer from Boise, ID on 1/17/2021
I mounted my 55" LG OLED on a platform that pulls away from the armoire, but the TV is too big to fit inside the armoire, so it sits just on the outside, up against the front of the armoire. The position of the HDMI ports on the side of the TV caused the previous cable to be pinched between the armoire and the back of the TV, because the cable was so stiff it could not be bent away to clear the pinch. This cable is more flexible and thinner than others that claim to be more durable, and the plug is shorter, so I'm able to bend the cable closer to the HDMI port to avoid the pinch. And the cable constrution looks plenty durable to me, so I'm not worried about damaging the cable at the sharp bend. The TV can now press against the armoire with no obstruction.
Pros: Durable Flexible Supports eArc, Atmos, HDR and 4K
Cons: Pricey
