BlueRigger Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable (6FT, Fiber Optic Cord, 24K Gold-Plated) - Compatible with Home Theatre, Sound Bar, TV, Xbox, PlayStation PS4

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Looked well made and was made for in wall installation. It works great, now that I installed it. The price seems reasonable for the quality. The cable covering is thick but still flexible. The connectors make a secure connection both in the TV and the stereo.

Excellent cable for a great price. Sound bar and sub sound perfect and clear. Definitely recommend.

I needed a Toslink audio cable to attach a media center computer I had just purchased to my home theater sound system and the fastest, the best, and the least expensive way to get one is to order it from Amazon.I initially ordered this Mediabridge - Toslink Cable - Optical Digital Audio Cable - 10 feet as I had ordered Mediabridge products in the past and was satisfied with them.Not this one, though. I use a C2G / Cables to Go 40324 3-Play Component Video and TOSLINK Digital Audio High Performance Selector Switch (Black) in conjunction with my home theater setup and, though this cable appeared to be well-made, it just would not fit into the Toslink port on the the switch box. I telephoned Mediabridge and they told me that they were aware of their cable not fitting into all devices (this was mentioned in some of the 1-star reviews to which I should have paid more attention).So I returned it to Amazon (an easy and convenient process) and the same day I returned it, I ordered this BlueRigger Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable(10 feet).It is very well-made and it fits perfectly into the ports where I need it. Based on its physical design, I am certain that it will fit into any device which uses a Toslink cable.It works perfectly too, carrying and transferring sound in whatever format the source supplies including, of course, full surround sound in DTS and/or Dolby Digital.I always like to have spares so, as this cable delivers excellent value for money and as I like it so much, yesterday I ordered three more of them!I highly recommend this BlueRigger Toslink cable to you. I'm sure you'll like it too.

Problem:Could not hear audio from digital TV's streaming apps on headphones through analog amp.Why: Husband could not stand to hear TV’s audio when I was watching TV or streaming youtube videos on our Samsung HDTV while he was in adjacent room surfing Facebook. Although he is deaf, he does ‘not like to wear’ his headphones or plug them into his laptop computer.Why not just upgrade to digital headphones? 1) we did not want to invest in digital headphones. 2) I want to control Mute function and Volume from TV's remote control.Goal:Listen to streaming apps on analog headphones PLUS control audio volume PLUS mute sound using TV’s remote control.First fix:1) Connect new smart TV audio to old analog amp. 2) connect my analog headphones to old analog amp and adjust TV volume to my preferred volume - using cables from our stash. Of course, that did not work.So I did a LOT of online research.Turns out that we needed to buy ANOTHER new device to convert the smart TV’s digital output to analog for the amp’s input. Therefore, I bought the inexpensive Prozor DAC digital-to analog converter box here on amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B00KNNSKV0?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsThe Prozor’s comments indicated that it works well – but the included audio cable resulted in static. So I researched and in the same order, I also bought this Bluerigger cable. After hubby messed around with all the spaghetti cables behind our tv, this setup works well, so far.Only one hiccup.Seems like I can NOT control the TV audio volume or mute from the TV’s remote control when streaming apps [Youtube, Netflix, Prime Video, etc.]. I prefer to MUTE sound during ads – I hate commercials...So I’m still trying to figure that out... I’m doing a few more tests, then maybe reconfigure the spaghetti or buy a new gizmo/gadget.Our current A/V components:- New-ish HD TV [Samsung] with streaming apps included and Optical jack - but no Headphones jack!- New analog headphones - with hybrid, double ended cable [OneOdio – LOVE them!].- Ancient analog amplifier - with headphones jack PLUS controls for power, volume, bass, etc.- Ancient analog VCR player (yes – we still watch VHS tapes sometimes).- Brand-New combo BluRay/DVD/CD player. [wow - what a great picture!]- Newish TV converter box [yes - we still watch network TV!]- Brand-New DAC converter box [Prozor].- THis BlueRigger cable plus a Gazillion other cables to connect all this mess.Solution:If I can’t fix volume with this setup, I’ll have to WALK over to the amp and turn the volume knob. LOL.P.S. I was bandleader and lead singer for my own band in the dark ages. So I do know a tad about connecting audio systems. Hubby is experienced too with A/V systems. But it’s still a headache making all this stuff talk to each other...P.P.S. In another location, our main audio system components are:- Hi-Fi stereo Receiver / amp / radio- 4 desktop speakers- Turntable Record player [yes – we still enjoy vinyl!] + adapters for 45rpm records.- Cassette player [yes – we still enjoy cassette tapes, too!]- CD player- A million cables connecting this other mess. LOL

This cable worked perfectly to replace my old cable that was no longer working. It's a nice thick cable, seems durable enough to hold up over time, and sends a speedy signal for crisp picture and sound quality. Would buy again.

Perfect for our needs. We needed a longer cord to drop under the floor and then back up to connect the reciever in another area of the room. This was small enough in diameter that we didn't need to create a very large hole and it worked perfect! Sound is perfection!

Appears to be well made.

Great product! Easy to plug in and immediately recognized between my tv and soundbar. Simple is awesome and this worked very easily.
