AUDIANO 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable, 48 Gbps Ultra High Speed 3D Nylon Braided Cord, Supports 8K 60Hz 4K 120Hz 144Hz, eARC Dolby Vision HDR 10, HDCP 2.2 2.3, Compatible with Roku/PS4/PS5/Blu-ray(6.6ft/2M)

I did a lot of research and ordered multiple cables for my new 4k HDR projector. This cable is most likely the best bang for buck. It supports 4k 60hz HDR 4:4:4 Chroma on both Apple tv 4k and nvidia shield tv pro (2019 model). It might be a bit overkill for general 4k HDR use, but given the array of bad experience I have had with multiple cables (including some optical fiber on for a longer run to the proejctor), I am happy I ordered a high performance cable. Yet to check the 120hz 4k feature on ps5 or some similar devices, but I imagine it would deliver. The construction is solid. Good value for movie given other good quality cables are selling for at least 2x the price point.

Setup 75" QLED UHD Samsung 7 series TV Yamaha RX-3080 audio receiver Oppo DVD Roku Ultra 4k UHD box Xfinity 4k UHD receiver My Roku started giving problems with sync issues and HDCP 2.2 issues which struck me as odd given that my equipment is all HDMI 2.1, UHD, HDCP 2.2 compliant. Checking my system I found that even though I had invested in "high speed" ethernet HDMI cable nothing was connecting at full 4k 60hz UHD HDCP2.2 settings, also my Roku would sometimes present a black sreen for 1 or 2 seconds. After some googling I determined that it was a cable issue. Replaced all 4 HDMI cables with this new 8k 48gbps cable - result - ALL devices now instantly sync at 4k 60hz, full UHD, HDCP 2.2 with no picture drop out. Obviously, now there is a SIGNIFICANT picture improvement due to the full sync. Conclusion - Excellent cable upgrade with positive results on all link. Can highly recommend these cables.

So at the time off my writing this review I have had mine in use for a couple of weeks. I bought the the 3.3 ft. I bought the one sold for $7.98. The difference with the cheaper one is this cable is all braided in shiny black and has a different thumb grip. This cable isn't so overly stiff as some make it sound that it is yet the are pain to find the hidden tight space HDMI ports to plug them in. Here is one important thing that you the buyer needs to know and should pay close attention to when buying is look at the sales release date. Electronic merchandise has a poor review system. Amazon doesn't bother with separating reviews from any sizes or from new and older products from the same manufacture. They rather jumble reviews to very different products than seperate each individual product with it's own review and this cable brand is no exception. This cable should be better than the same brand than that was sold on 2020. So can't really rely on old reviews. When companies come out with products it allows them to make the products better than the last ones. Audiano has released this cable in the past year. Since my review is for a cable sold on Amazon since 2021 you can trust my 5 star review. However I have no way knowing if this is an older cable with slight changes to it like new braiding and plug types that got resubmitted for Ultra HDMI Certification for 2.1 or if this an all new cables because the internal wiring can only be twisted or solid wiring. To be honest I bought this cable over the UGreen HDMI 2.1 in 3.3 ft cable with an all 5 Star rating because this cable was shown with the Ultra Certification photo in the description. That meant a lot to me when I ordered it. Then I learned by watching videos how bad HDMI.org is at Certification and it doesn't mean much. There is no 100% way of really knowing that they very cable your buying is really the same Certified HDMI cable. If you buy this brand of cable there is SKU number however the only thing you get from a scan as a Sku number. There is no SKU number on the box. My box does have a number sticker but it not like SKU number and nothing on it matches the webpage. Not every cable is certified by manufacturers and they can do their own testing and present it meets the HDMI 4K or 8K standard or HDMI.org can do it's own testing. With so many HDMI cables and lengths they can't test every cable that get sent to them either. Older 4K cables can be recertified as an 8K 2.1 new HDMI cable making the HDMI.org Certification horrible. I bought this 8K cable also because this is a 2.1 and wanted to upgrade from 4K 2.0. Also this cable is all braided with shiny black cord. Another thing these numbers can't be marked or have a sticker put on boxes, or on the cables but they can do it on websites and get away with it. My final reason I bought this cable was to connect my Sony 4K Blu-Ray player from the HDMI In Audio Port to my Vizio M-Series 5.1.2 Sound bar HDMI IN Audio port. It wasn't not a poor quality cable but with no sound I decided to connect this cable to my Vizio M-Series 50"TV eARC to my Sound bar eARC. I get great picture and Dolby TrueHD sound quality. from it. A lot of HDMI reviews people will give low star and poor rating but won't tell you just what it was that they bought and Amazon convolutes the reviews. The longer the HDMI cable is like from 50 ft and over is going to have major problems for degradation especially with cheaper ones. One thing you do have to be aware of when connecting devices for seperate audio sources can get complicated with the settings on every device. From a TV you have to change your inputs and then maybe what the other device is connected to. This cable or any other type from this brand will work to what ever you connect it to. But if you need any HDMI cable is long length expect to pay a lot for the best brand. For audio devices it's devices that are connected for audio only may not play nice with each other. I will answer any question that you may have on what the difference is or you want this cable over a 4K 2.0 cable. I did my HDMI cable home work after buying this so I can share what I learned.

Excellent product.

I bought one of these in the past when I was having issues displaying 4k content. I have a lot of various HDMI cables lying around and none of them worked properly. I just bought a Philips Hue HDMI Sync Box and one of their light strips and could not get it to work properly. I had this cable as the one between the sync box and the TV, a chromecast plugged into one of the sync box inputs and the HDMI cable that came with the sync box between the sync box and my xbox. The chromecast worked fine, the xbox would have the picture cut out after running for 15 minutes or so. It did this when I had it on 4K HDR but not when I changed the settings to 1080p, so I suspected it was the cable. I bought another one of these and it completely solved the problem. They are really fantastic quality cables.

I purchased six or so of these a about a month ago and they've been working great. I'm not an expert on picture quality but my 4k content is at 4k. The build is sturdy and the connector-piece-thingies themselves are solid. They don't feel like plastic. The five star seal for me was the included ties. Not just one for each cable but two! Huge bonus. Keeps all the cables tight and clean instead of loose and difficult to find. I hate hunting down individual cables from behind my console when they're all tangled up.

I'm aware of the benefits of a 2.1 cable. I bought 2 sets to prepare for my incoming PS5 which also has HDMI 2.1. I did not see any benefits like high speed switching, extra colors etc it did pass the standard Audio, HDR etc. The cable itself is built well, solid and the connection feels premium. Than, I noticed the bottle neck, my home theater receiver, which I bought randomly in 2019 before HDMI 2.1 was out lacked it to complete the link to TV. I bought a new HDTV in 2020 that has HDMI 2.1 connection. Since I had everything in the receiver, and out to TV. The receiver could not pass the 2.1 or some 2.0 bonuses. As soon as I connected my PS4 PRO directly to the tv, the colors were made available. Even my PS4 PRO system menu stated that I could get higher res, colors and hertz (60 options variable) and showed them listed with HDR and without. Before It lacked them, only had the basic pass threw like 4k, HDR but lacked hertz and color enhancements. I will update this article when I get my PS5 on Nov 12th. Since that unit is built for HDMI 2.1 and my tv too. I'd be able to gauge more of the extra stuff, 120hz, color options, quick input switching etc. so far i'm not disappointed, and will buy a 3rd cable for another tv.

Using them for my home theater setup. I always try to find the best quality gear without overspending on rarely used features or brand names. In this case, I just needed decent quality HDCP 2.2 cables to connect a Roku Ultra to a Yamaha AV system and Hisense 4K UHD display. I don't have any 8K gear (yet) but for the price these are every bit as good as Monster cables at a little more than half the cost. No issues with interference or weird artifacts so shielding is good and the cable housing seems very durable though we don't really move things around a lot. These are very nice cables.
