Besides the higher price point, how do these cables compare to the Amazon Basics cable?

Gold plating and quality construction equals better connectivity and longer cable life. I have these cables myself, very good quality you can feel and see

You can't go wrong with a Mediabridge cable as these incorporate all the features of the more expensive cables without the price. Not to mention they are an American company.

Cosmetics. They have the same specs and function equally well. The less expensive one comes with no cable.

I don't know that there is much of a difference. I would highly recommend that you do not purchase this product. While the cable(s) themselves are thick, the ends are cheaply made and break very easily.

Save some money. I could find no diference between the Extreme and the Basic, except for name and price. I found the Winegard passive version superior. Its wider. It is still true that the closer you get to 30 inches, the better. The winegard gains over the Mohu Leaf and the AmazonBasics flat antenna due to its being wider & thus catches more signal.

The only way to really know that in a simple, non technical way is to substitute the cable with another that is presumed to be good. May I suggest the Amazon basic Toslink. I own both the Bluerigger and the Amazon. The Amazon cable fits in the Optical slots firmly; the Blurigger wobbles.

Shouldn't really matter, but don't get ripped off buying a $60 cable from the local electronics store; you can get one that does that same thing for $20 or less.

Not sure if you have an answer, I also have that model and have used these cables for a few months now with no negative issues.

Odoyo, Moshi and Amazon Basics cables all work for us. The Moshi can take the most abuse, in my opinion. My son killed the Amazon in three days and the Odoyo in a week, but the Moshi is going on a month. A nice, well made, and even stylish cable.

Get a couple of these from Monoprice Monoprice Ultra Slim Series 15ft 10.2Gbps High Performance HDMI® Cable w/ RedMere® Technology Supports Ethernet, 3D, 4K and Audio Return - White

Why go to RS when Amazon is cheaper? I can't believe anyone here would suggest going to RS.... Amazon has these, for example:Extreme 3 Way Unbalanced HD Digital 1GHz High Performance Coax Cable Splitter - BDS103HEXTREME 3 WAY BALANCED HD DIGITAL 1GHz HIGH PERFORMANCE COAX CABLE SPLITTER - BDS103HB

don't know. The Amazon one is the one I have and LOVE. They both look the same. Can't go wrong.

With HDMI cables, either they work, they don't, or they have intermittent loss of signal. I have 6 of these Bluerigger cables in my house, and not a single one ever cut out or didn't work. In my book, that means they are just as good as the expensive cables. Probably the only difference is, the expensive ones could probably take more extreme bending or strain. Don't quote me on that, though, because the Bluerigger cables look like they can take some punishment too. Personally, I won't buy any HDMI cable other than these.

I think they are the same. I bought thru Amazon because I wanted the advantages Amazon offers.

I have no knowledge of the other cable. I bought the best value at the time. I would guess that the difference would be the thickness of the outer cover or the density of the wires themselves. Hope this helps you make your decisipn

I purchased 1.3a category 2 certified 28AWG 6 ft hdmi cables through monoprice that work equally well with the Steren gold-tipped video cables provided by my cable company. The cable guy told me they are equivalent, and I would agree with that after having compared them myself. However the cable guy did also tell me that optical audio cables would be needed to match the quality that hdmi cables would provide. I do not have a surround sound system so can't judge the difference on that. Ultimately I went with the hdmi cables because there is only one plug on each end and so simpler to disconnect and reconnect if need be. PS I also compared top of the line Monster Cable HDMI (over $100 each!) to the monoprice $5 cables and couldn't tell any difference. This is on a Sony 1080p xbr4 120hz tv with a Playstation 3 for Blu Ray/dvd player. I say if component cables work better for you, go with them.
