Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of 3 FT Digital Audio Optical TOSLink Cable Optic 3ft
Customer Review: They suck.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these cables because they were cheap, and now I see why. They, quite simply, suck. I tried paring them with an optical splitter, to allow me to plug in my optical headphones into both my Xbox 360 and PS3 at the same time, but they completely bug out. It seems to me that the heads barley even touch the inside components, but with much poking and prodding, they work for the Xbox 360 ONLY if it is in a perfect spot on the output, and any movement sends my headphones into a static filled frenzy. It doesn't work at all for the PS3. I've tried every possible combination of the three cables I bought to try and get it to work, and they simply do not. My recommendation? Buy something more expensive.Customer Review: Don't Even Bother!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased 5 of these with one of the multiple Toslink switches. They didn't work for me at all. I tried each one seperately and none of them worked with the switch. Even more frustrating, was the fact that only one out of five work at all with my 5.1 surround sound system. Then I thought, maybe the selector switch was bad. But after purchasing name brand 3ft optical cables from one of the superstores, I found that the switch works great. Problem solved. I threw these things in the trash. I paid about 45 times more for the name brand cables. It was more than worth it. DON'T EVEN BOTHER!!!Customer Review: great price, and the cables work perfectly
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a Sony STR-K760P receiver with 6.1 channel surround. I'm feeding my DVD in through digital coax, but my DirecTV and XBox both supply Dolby Digital 5.1 via optical output only. While these cables seem a bit delicate (I certainly wouldn't want to step on them, and I was careful not to bend them around sharp corners during setup) they work perfectly! Digital is all-or-nothing, either you get the full signal or you don't. There's no need to buy $20 - $50 digital optical cables from Monster or any other manufacturer, these will work great. My XBox sounds amazing when playing DD 5.1 games.Customer Review: Cmple cable crappy
Summary: 1 Stars
Watch for the seller's name when you're buying these cables. I bought these 3-foot optical digital cables from Cmple, and a longer one a few days ago that came from Eforcity. It seems that those two brands and a couple of others come up randomly as sellers for this and similar items. Well, my Eforcity cable is good quality, has the gold ends and snug plugs that click in, and looks like the picture in the listing. The ones from Cmple are thin, no gold ends, no click. They look completely different. I posted a picture above in "User Pictures." They do work, but for how long is the question.Customer Review: S/PDIF 3' Audio Cable
Summary: 4 Stars
After waiting 8 days, this audio cable finally arrived.
It works fine, except when I initially inserted the connection into my hdtv, the plug felt loose because of its tendency to turn in awkward directions, but after a couple of twists on the cable, the connection fit great.
The audio cable in my opinion is durable and functional, just remember to take the transparent plugs off before inserting it into your tv/audio source.
I give it a three stars on audio quality because I have a 2-channel sound bar without a subwoofer. (not the cable's fault)
