I read many reviews and did my research before purchasing this product. Not until I received the package and opened it, I saw a tiny disclaimer smaller than newspaper print on the side of the packaging.
**YOU MUST HAVE THE MONSTER BRAND COMPONENT CABLES FOR THIS OPTICAL DIGITAL CABLE TO WORK**
**THIS PRODUCT WILL NOT WORK WITH YOUR MICROSOFT COMPONENT CABLES**
Now why didn't monster package both the optic digital cable and the monster component cable in one package???!!! Digital sound for around $20.00? I knew it was too good to be true! Two thumbs down!

I got this to work with my Monster s-video cable for the xbox 360. It works exactly like it should with no problems. I have not compared it to any other cables but I got this and my s-video cable for a decent price and well its monster they have great products IMO :).

Monster has a rep for making very expensive cables, but there's usually no contest in quality when compared to the competition. I play my xbox 360 through my computer monitor, and my sound comes through my PC's 5.1 surround sound system. Using the optical cable lets my speakers do their thing and bring me great surround sound to all of my games. I originally bought a non-toslink optic cable that didn't fit correctly into my 360's vga adapter. After tweaking with it (All hail scotch tape!) I got some pretty good sound through it for Guitar Hero 2. When I replaced that one with the monster cable, I could actually tell a difference in audio quality. Joe Schmoe probably won't notice it, and instead will use the cable as a chain for his dog or something. Though if you're an audio nut like I am, you can usually tell pretty easily the quality difference in highs and lows, sharpness to notes and sounds. A must-have cable, albeit a tad pricey. Don't let the 1 star "fun rating" confuse you. The only "fun" just the cable itself would deliver is if you used it as a whip and reenacted scenes from Indiana Jones movies.

After I received this product I was a little surprised to see how this cable was packaged. The way that the cable is placed in its packaging caused a kink in the cable. This is a little bit of a concern for a fiber optic cable since light needs to travel on a straight path and any kinks in the cable can affect sound quality. Monster Cable should know this better than most and Im surprised their quality control hasnt caught or corrected the packaging faux paus (sp?). I was eventually able to straighten the cable after repeated attempts of bending the cable in the opposite direction. But this is not a good idea either as it may cause further problems for some people if theyre not careful enough. Anyway, after I straightened it out and plugged it in, it seemed to work fine. Overall, the quality of the cable is good, it was just irritating to see a kink in a fiber optic cable after unpackaging it.
