How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsEnd of the line for overpriced HDMI cables
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 10, 2023
THIS.... Is Amazon basics HDMI cable... and I can say that it is the best quick option for a nice HDMI cable at any length you could need!

Let me clear the air on some HDMI misconceptions real quick - HDMI cables have nothing to do with whatever version of HDMI your tv has be it HDMI 1.4 , 2.0 , 2.1 or 2.2 as that is the PHYSICAL port on the tv, soundbar, GPU or what have you - the cable is merely the transporter from one thing to the other and either work or doesn't. There is no need for a higher 'grade' of cable as there is nothing you can do to the cable to make it transmit data better. I am sure that Bestbuy would love to sell you on 1000 reasons their $150 cable makes your colors better, but that is all marketing. This is exactly like charging your phone, the cable doesn't charge your phone faster as it is all in the block plugged into the wall - this is the same principle as the cable is merely passing the data.

The non-braided cable and endpiece are really well-constructed out of generic rubber-ish material, they are ever so slightly stiff, but are otherwise perfect for any need you could have! There is no issue slotting them next to each other either as the head of the plug maintains a slim profile.

I recommend this HDMI cable to anyone in need of one! The price is unbeatable for an HDMI cable, and you will be wasting your money on anything more expensive as this is about as good as it gets(unless you HAVE TO HAVE a braided cable). Once again another reason to have high expectations from an amazon brand as this is another example of a great Amazon Essentials product!

REMEMBER!! Your cable is only as good as your HDMI port, so this cable can do 1080p, 4k and more!

5.0 out of 5 stars There is no need to buy more expensive HDMI cables
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 19, 2016
Number of Items: 2Color: BlackSize: 3 FeetVerified Purchase
Please do not waste your hard earned money on overpriced HDMI cables in the name of picture or sound improvements. I currently am using these AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI cables to connect our Yamaha v379 AV receiver to other HDMI enabled devices that link back to our 4K Samsung Smart TV and these have performed flawlessly.

HDMI cables come in four types: Standard-speed --> Standard-speed with Ethernet --> High-speed --> High-speed with Ethernet. Since High-speed cables are so cheap (e.g these AmazonBasics cables), there really isn't any point of getting Standard-speed anymore. On the other hand, as most HDMI devices today can't receive Ethernet over HDMI, High-speed HDMI cables are really all you need.

** Some numbers **

Standard-speed HDMI cables are rated up to 1080i ("i" stands for interlaced). In order for a HDMI cable to have a "High-speed" moniker, it must be capable of showing resolutions up to 4K --> 3840 x 2160 at 30fps (or 4,096 x 2160 at 24fps). And as the highest resolution any 4K TV currently on the market can produce is 3840 x 2160 at 30fps, even if you found a $100 cable at your local BestBuy that claims it can transmit much more than that, it doesn't matter as you are limited by your source (i.e your cable box, Xbox, PS4 e.t.c) and your TV's hardware capabilities.

Also HDMI cables can either produce an image/sound or nothing at all. There is NO in between. Therefore, a HDMI cable will either work or won't work (it may show a flashing image but this means it's a bad cable). But a more expensive HDMI cable will NOT show darker blacks and sharper colors than a less expensive HDMI cable. You either get 100% of the signal or no signal at all. Now if you intend on running your HDMI cable for more than 50ft, then you might want to invest in a HDMI cable that has "active" chips that help maintain the signal quality over a longer distance (but does NOT make the image/sound any better than the source).

** What about HDMI 1.4 or 2.0 or HDCP 2.2? **

This is another common misconception due to manufacturer marketing. HDMI 1.4, 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 are all hardware changes that do NOT require a cable change! Although there is a difference between them (you can google that yourself), there is no such thing as a HDMI 1.4 or 2.0 or HDCP 2.2 cable! The version numbers refer to the devices that the HDMI cable connects into & NOT the cable itself. The cable simply is a pipeline linking the two. Hence, if you do happen to own a TV and another device that both have HDMI 2.0 ports, any AmazonBasics High-speed rated cable will work perfectly fine with it.

** Conclusion **

At this price point, there is very little reason to spend more money on more expensive HDMI cables over these AmazonBasics High-speed cables. If you have a 3D, 4K, HDCP 2.2 or HDMI-ARC compatible device, these High-speed cables will work perfectly fine for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good but THICK
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 5, 2023
Number of Items: 1Color: BlackSize: 25 FeetVerified Purchase
I needed a long HDMI cable to get from my ceiling mounted projector to my pc, and this did the job well, but it wasn't easy to work with. I bought cable runners to hide the power/hdmi cables going up the wall and across the ceiling to the projector and the cable is so thick that I couldn't get it to go through the bends in the runner. I managed to make it work, and I won't take off a star just because it's beefy, but be wary if you're going to try and put it in a tight space. Its a good quality cable for the price. This cable is the fat one in the picture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldnt live without this in my classroom
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 18, 2023
Number of Items: 1Color: BlackSize: 25 FeetVerified Purchase
A staple for classroom use. Even though my classroom is set-up for wireless use of technological items, invariably, the system is not working correctly or at all. I never worry about it because this 25 foot, sturdy, easy to use & manipulate cord—is all that i ever use for connecting any devices. Even With high school kids yanking the cord out of the wall or stepping on it over and over again, the court is still as good as new!

So this is what I get when my cats likes to chew everything. 🙄 Amazon basics to the rescue with a reasonable cost alternative to brand names. I always choose the Amazon basic brand for this kind of stuff. Works just as well.

This cable feels like it’ll last a while. It is very heavy duty. Just keep in mind that it is very stiff, both a pro and a con depending on your use case 👍

I needed it to hold shape over a longer distance so it works perfectly for me.

I’m not the most tech savvy of folk but it took all of thirty seconds to get it connected from my Lenovo to the tv set, confirm the HDMI setting and voila! Good to go :)

I used these cables to attach a 4K mod box to get an optical output for sound. I didn't realize that the 4K TV put out surround sound form the optical port on the TV. Previous HD TV's only offered stereo. Still can use it for the blue ray player, and other 4 K capable devices.

My dad and I both have electronics aplenty that require an HDMI cord, and we have yet to be disappointed by these cords! They work great and are quite durable. They even come with sturdy caps for the ends of the cord when not in use! I absolutely recommend these.
