I have not had a problem thus far. I learned in the store that the cheaper cables do not put out the top quality sound/picture, so paying a little bit more for this one is definitely worth it.

What's not so great: price
I was having issues with my new AV Receiver and the picture cutting out occasionally. That is with WireLogic cables from Costco (much cheaper price 2 for $35 roughly). So BB talked me into trying these to see if they solved the problem. Same problem. They also told me that they could improve my picture. Didn't notice that at all. So, I took the 2 for $95 cables back to BB. Turns out my problem was the Comcast box I had doesn't work well with stereos.
I rate them 3 stars as they might be good...I just can't justify paying that price. The picture looks exactly the same with the ones from Costco.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Clear picture and audio, easy to install
What's not so great: Price is high compared to online vendors
I bought this one in the store with a new 50" plasma TV and it works just fine. I also got another 5ft 24AWG CL2 High Speed HDMI cable online from another source and it works fine too (for an old DVD/VCR w/HDMI output), but it was only $6.57 (it had very high ratings online).
Maybe in five years they will all be cheap (except Monster of course); for now, I am left to wonder if I paid too much for this cable. As long as it works, I won't fret over it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: quality (best visual I have seen with HDMI)
What's not so great: audio: should be called VisualQuest, audio won't blow you away
If you are reading this because you are doing research on which HDMI is best for you, here are my observations:
1. generic HDMIs that come with Time Warner, DirecTV, and DVD players are NOT on the same level as these IF you have a "top of the line" TV. I own a Samsung 55 inch LED, so Dynex doesn't cut it.
2. I exchanged RocketFish for this version (shorter actually) of AudioQuest and although the Magnolia people are as trustworthy are car salesman, I noticed that
(a) jutters stopped on my ps3 (b) image was so clear I could see acne scars on actors (c) the cords fit great, not so tights as to make it hard to pull out but firm enough that it doesn't jiggle.
Ironically, audio is not its strong suit. Some reviewers say no difference. I did notice a difference; it is so polished that it took me a while to get used to it. Have you ever heard a song on the radio and then you buy the track or CD and its not the same?--like it's missing some grittiness--that is my impression, but by no means is it a deal breaker or a complaint. Just something I noticed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This cable worked fine, but I used it to replace a super cheap 3D-rated HDMI cable, and I notice no difference whatsoever. So why bother? I returned this cable.

What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: n/a
Most of us want to cut costs and comparing a $30 HDMI cable to a $150.00 HDMI cable....well I would have gone for the cheaper one.
I was researching for a new tv a few months ago and opted to get a Samsung plasma and I've been very pleased with it. I originally had a cheap $30 HDMI cable. Having being pleased with it and it worked on my LED tv downstairs I saw no reason to buy a new one for the new plasma. I hooked up my PS3 with the cable and popped in a game. To my suprise the game lagged and the sound was off! Their lips/actions that occured would be behind! I had no idea what was going on! I played with my tv settings and still nothing.
Went back to best buy to ask a magnolia/geek squad specialist. He took the time to explain that HDMI cable really doesn't make a difference if you're watching regular tv say satellite/OTA/or fios, and or regular dvd's, but it does make a difference in a plasma when playing xbox 360/ps3 or blu-ray movies. Why? Because a PLASMA has 600hz refresh rate. The better HDMI cable makes a difference. I went home and plugged in this HDMI cable and he was right!
Clear picture and great sound! Enjoying my new plasma more and more now. HDMI cable has been great quality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Do not buy this cable!! I have had this cable for 6 months and have had several problems. The display would randomly cut in and out and today the audio completely died out. The display and the audio sounds great but this cable only lasted 6 months.

I bought an new Xbox 360 S and figured I should buy a better HDMI cord as well. I currently had a $50 Rocket Fish HDMI cord and researched that people were recommending the AudioQuest cords on Best Buy. Based on my experience I actually opted to get the Chocolate one first and tried it out. I payed $105 and figured to myself, "Ehhhh. You get what you pay for." Unfortunately that wasn't the case for me. When I got home and plugged I plugged the Chocolate version in and turned in my Xbox 360 S and to my surprise, it was nothing better that my old $50 Rocket Fish cord. I took it back and decided that I shouldn't be paying more for something that is getting the same quality as my old Rocket Fish cord.
