So I’m not an engineer with a mini-laboratory in my house where I can send electromagnetic pulses to test my electronics and I’m not insanely wealthy either. I’m just a regular guy who wants decent cables for his electronics and these cables are excellent quality at a nice price.
First off these cables just look and feel thicker and sturdier than the cheap cables that are also sold on this site. Secondly you get much less cable clutter using this over the huge RGB cables your cable/satellite company will likely give you (but check first to make sure they support HDMI output). Third, you just open a box and grab your cable rather than deal with those horrible clamshell plastic cases. Fourth, and most importantly you get Amazon’s warranty for a year if you ever run into a problem with it. So the next time someone tries to guilt you into buying a $100 pair of Monster cables with your electronics purchase you’ll know what to do.

I wonder what makes HDMI cables so costly. Spending over fifty dollars seems ridiculous to me, so I’ve been waiting for a reasonably priced, high quality, flexible cable and I found exactly what I needed with the AmazonBasics Braided Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable at 6.5 feet! Costing substantially less than comparable cables I’ve researched and held in my hands, this stands heads and shoulders above the others and I’m thrilled to now have my new HDTV hooked up to Cox Cable via this HDMI cable rather than the standard cables provided by the company. Without an HDMI cable, I was not receiving the full options available but don’t regret waiting to get this brand and model from Amazon; I would have spent far much more money to purchase another brand and it likely would not be as flexible and substantial as this. My television is providing much more entertainment today than it was yesterday and the HD channels are overwhelmingly wonderful now! Wish I’d utilized the HDMI capability sooner, but I’m happy to have this particular cable now and more money in the wallet for popcorn and beverages.
The images provided by Amazon cover just about everything included with the exception of a little black twisty tie. Nothing is wasted in this packaging, it can be reused or recycled and you do not need tools to access the cable from the packaging. There is no chemical scent and you’ll receive no cuts on the fingers from hard plastic packaging.
If you’re in the market for a longer braided cable, AmazonBasics also offers a 9.8 Feet model.

Anyone who has looked for deals on HDMI cables know they can be hard to find, retailers tend to boost the price on the cables to make up for the deals they give on televisions. After reading about HDMI cables [...], which if you have not done I highly recommend reading their research, I decided to look for a cheaper cable. I already have a Blu-ray player hooked up via HDMI, and I was looking for a cable for my XBOX 360. I decided to give the amazon cable, at just over $[...], a try. I was instantly pleased, the cable came packaged well, with shielding over the tips for protection in shipping, and did not look cheap (which many off brand cables can when purchased sight unseen. Plugged it up a month ago, and have not had to touch it since, now gaming and streaming video comes across crystal clear, not to mention the biggest shocker, which is the incredible difference in sound.
great product great price, highly recommended!
p.s. I have a 40″ Samsung LCD 1080p HDTV, for those who want to know what I am viewing on.

I am using this cable to connect my PC to an Onkyo receiver. It works perfectly. You can’t beat it for the money.

The Amazon branded HDMI cable is great! It’s cloth wrapped and very sturdy. I was not expecting such a high quality cable. The quality is on par with the Monster brand cables, but without the monster price.
I believe this cable will last a long time and it definitely beats the flimsy generic cables that are readily available. The image quality using this cable was also nice, although to my untrained eyes, I couldn’t see much of a difference between this and my older, cheaper cable. On the other hand, I just like the feel of this cord over a regular plastic cable and I recommend it for anyone looking for a high quality HDMI cable.

This is a great cable, I love it.
The cable is very high quality, I’ve been buying those (10-12 dollar) hdmi cables online for a while, and I keep forgetting the nice feel of a high end cable.
The moment I unpacked this cable, I realized I was in for a special treat.
The cable performs flawlessly, without any objections.
The cable is nice, thick, cable with a great texture and feel.
I dont if it’s just me, but when I used this cable on my ps3 my movies started looking much better. The softness was lessened (in my eyes)
I’ve used this cable about 100 hours by now, watching blu-ray playing games, hooking it up to my computer, my camera, my xbox, my ps3, and everything performs greatly.
Thanks to amazon’s amazingly low price, we can finally get a high end high quality cable, at a very reasonable and competitive price.
Thanks amazon! Time to buy another one!

Frankly, I am price conscience when it comes to HDMI cables – I have a very hard time justifying a $60 (or more) for an HDMI cable. This cable simply works and comes at an attractive price.
Good looking braided cable that feels expensive and will serve your HDMI cable needs. It arrives in Amazon’s “frustration free” packaging which means that it is shipped in a simple brown, recyclable cardboard box (with a little paper outlining the warranty). No plastic to cut, no twist ties to unravel, no added packaging/marketing. Simply open the box, remove the cable, and install it. Easy.

I got an email from Amazon announcing their new line of AmazonBasics cables. They said that their goal was to make a high quality cable and sell it at a very reasonable price.
They have achieved that goal.
I ordered two of the six foot HDMI cables and on nine foot cable for about eight bucks each.
The cable came in a simple cardboard box with nothing but a twist tie aside from the cable (which is a good thing, I hate the plastic blister packs that cut your hands and unnecessary stuff in the box to go in the landfill).
The cable has a solid, quality feel to it. Nothing feels cheap or chintzy.
Connecting the cable between my TV and several compontents including my brand new Samsung Blu Ray player, the connection just worked every time.
For comparison purposes, I bought a $50 super delux, high end, will solve all the problems in your life (according to the sales guy) HDMI cable at Radio Shack. Connecting the AmazonBasics cable to the same Blu Ray player as the fancy cable I saw **NO DIFFERENCE**!
Looking into it I found out that HDMI is a standard that is run by an organization. In order for anyone to make an HDMI cable and put the HDMI logo on it (which the AmazonBasics cable does), the cable must be made to the HDMI organizations standards. So the group basically tells the companies how the cable must be made in order to be given the HDMI logo. The long and short of it is that cheap cable or expensive cable, it must work to the same standards in order to have the HDMI logo.
So, super fancy $50 cable gets thrown back across the counter to Radio Shack guy for return and AmazonBasics cable gets a new home in back of my entertainment center.
I’m now going to purchase several more of these for family and friends to have as spares since they don’t know any better and will get suckered by the sales guy at best buy into buying a $50 Monster Cable HDMI cable that does nothing better than this one.

I currently own higher-end Panasonic HDMI cables, and these Amazon HDMI cables perform just as well. The high-definition video quality is great and I couldn’t see a difference between the two, the thickness of the Amazon HDMI cable matches the higher-end cable, and the build-quality is strong and durable. The cable does have a stiff end so this cable does not bend as easily and is not as flexible as other cables are (in case you have your tv up against the wall, so you would need to have your tv about 6 inches away from the wall if it is on a tv stand. It may not be a problem for most TV’s that will be wall-mounted, but it depends on the position and placement of the HDMI ports on the back of your TV.
The packaging that these cables came in was great and easy. It was in a small cardboard box in another box, well protected. Very easy to open, and safe inside. No damage at all.
I recommend these Amazon HDMI cables. 5 out of 5.

I received this 2-meter AmazonBasics HDMI cable for review, from Vine, and I am confident in saying that i am immediately very impressed with it, after only a couple of hours of use. I used the cable to replace the HDMI that connects my DirecTV HD-box to my Mitsubishi projector in my screening room, and there was no decline in quality of my live-tv feed. Compared to the cable that i replaced, i’d also like to hilight two (2) impressive features of the AmazonBasics cable: 1) the cable braiding is VERY thick, making this a very durable cable (it’s a far thicker sheath than the one on my old HDMI cable) and 2) the 2 male ends are also appear to very solid – they look like molded casings that hold/surround the connectors at each end (my old cable had a 2-piece bracket over the connectors, and one of them actually fell apart while i was swapping out the old cable for testing, so the sturdiness of the Amazon cable definitely got my attention). Combine all these features with a VERY reasonable price (under $20 for a 2-meter cable) and i have to say that not only is this cable a very good deal, but i’d be interested in seeing what other ‘Basics” products that Amazon can come up with (A/V or otherwise) – no frills packaging, but a quality product, at a terrific price.
