  I’m no expert on cables, but these cables do the job well. Both video and audio are crystal clear; no interference from any other sources (and in my house they are run right by other electronic equipment, so the potential is certainly there).

  One interesting thing about these cables is the material used for the exterior. I’m used to plastic/rubber exteriors. The exterior of these feel somewhat metallic. I’m not sure if this is the reason, but these cables are much more flexible than the plastic/rubber ones. This makes it a bit easier to run them in places with a lot of twists and turns. However, I would be careful in dragging them over a finished surface; I would think they might scratch it.

  Overall a very nice package for the 360!

  Some people say better cables improve your picture, others say they waste you money. So I took the dive and bought these Monster 360 Cables. After hooking them up I instantly noticed a slight improvement in my 100″ picture from my DLP projector. The difference wasn’t huge, but the picture was definitely a little sharper. That alone was worth the cost of the cables. Throw in the fact that the Monster cables are much higher quality…they feel better, are thicker, sturdier, and the optical cable doesn’t fall out…and this is a no brainer to get. The optical cable of course is the same as any other ‘cheap’ optical cable in terms of performance, but the quality of the cable itself is higher and looks nicer.

  On my Hitachi HD Plasma 42 I did notice 10/15 % improvement.
  
  Please Keep on mind that It could be different with another television. But I am really happy with this cable.

  There is a reason why this Monster Cable product is expensive: quality. Connectors, cabling, and fit/finish are of the highest grade. I highly recommend this product, especially if you have your 360 connected to a home theater system. The difference between the standard audio connections that the 360 comes equipped with and the fiber optic cable is night & day.

  I didn’t notice a great difference in the video compared to the the standard 360 component connections. The audio connection is why you must have this cable system. Truly mind blowing. My A/V consists of the following: Sony KDE 50XBR 50″ plasma and the Sony DAV-10W 5.1.

  the picture quality is what you would expect from monster but the only reason i would reccomend this item is for use with the fiber optic sound cable it made a world of difference in the sound quality and realisim in the games and movies so for anyone with a good reciever this is a must have but if your sound is played out through the t.v. dont bother

  I bought these cables to replace the ones that came with my XBox 360. FYI, I connect my 360 to a 2005 720p 42″ Sony HDTV.

  The cables work well. The picture is sharp and the audio is very clear. Quite honestly though, I’m not sure if these cables offer any significant improvement from the ones that came with my xbox. I think that they do, but I can’t confirm it. In any case, I’m a big fan of Monster Cable products as they’re high quality products.

  This is another great product from Monster Cable. It hooks up easily and you will have HD component viewing in no time. Attach the fiber optic cable to the 1/8″ connector and the other toslink end to your surround sound system and your set for 5.1 surround audio. The cables are nice and solid and should give you years of use.

  High quality connector on the XBOX side, and high quality component connectors. In between, a high quality well-shielded cable.

  The XBOX can send 1080p (better than 1080i) via component to a TV that supports that.

  For owners of the XBOX Elite, which has an HDMI socket underneath the big XBOX AV socket: The XBOX plug on this cable is slim enough that you can also fit an HDMI cable in, and connect via HDMI instead of component if you wish. The optical audio will work no matter the video connection you use. I tried both ways. HDMI provides a slightly sharper image over component, but not discernible to most (and it’s a per-pixel sharpness, a edge sharpness, not more detail or higher resolution)
