Summary: Do the research yourself
Review: Don't listen to any of us.You already have an internet connection because you are here. Go to a browser and ask the question you asked here. You will find that any review that is NOT a store will tell you that ALL speaker wire is the same. They just look cool. If that's what you need, then buy it. Otherwise, stay away from monster. It's just like bose speakers. BUZZ word, that's all. These companies can't make any money selling you a 10 dollar cable.

Summary: It really doesn't matter
Review: The first reviewer is somewhat correct. Don't spend too much on digital interconnect cables....the digital format is used so quality will not depend on the transfer medium, that's the whole purpose of digital. I'm an electrical engineer, PCM audio for all intents and purposes is a pretty slow bitstream, you could use pretty cheap cable and not notice a difference. Just my humble opinion.

Summary: Dont listen to this guy
Review: This guy doesnt know what hes talking about. When it comes to digital audio, even optical audio, the brand/quality WILL make a difference. Go do your research and you'll find Monster is the best brand for audio/video interconnects. Anywhere around 20 dollars for an optical cable is an excellent deal (especially for 8 feet), let alone for a high quality brand such as Monster.He even states, "It's hard to imagine how one optical interconnect could be better than another." Obviously, this man has no idea what he's talking about. When you're uneducated and havn't done research, you should not write a review that will influence other people's decisions.

Review: Ultimatly where it makes a difference is in the connector and the quality of the fiber. Since the signal doesn't have to travel a great distance, the quality of the fiber doesn't really matter all that much unless it's so bad that it actually attenuates the signal. But that's really bad!
Second, the connector is the most important part of the cable. Since that is where the end of the fiber is and where the lite must leave the fiber, it has to be either clieved very well or highly polished so the signal is not refracted.
All of this attention to detail adds to production so ultimatley, you get what you pay for. Paying $20.00 for a Monster cable is very reasonable. If you were to buy a professional cable you would pay close to $100.00, you don't see those cables on amazon.

Summary: I can't see how it would make a difference
Review: Why spend more for a top-quality optical cable with a brand name like Monster? In the digital realm, the bits are either getting to your amplifier, or they're not. It's hard to imagine how one optical interconnect could be better than another. Better cables matter when you are connecting speakers, but I can't see how they would matter here. So, buy something cheaper. Or, write another review, if you can explain to us consumers why this might be better.

Summary: the "grip" behind the connector is too fat
Review: You can't plug two of these in side-by-side, the plastic surrounding the business ends are too fat.
