How exactly is Monster Cable "overpriced junk"?

[FelixDeCat]

So a 6ft HDMI Monster Cable costs $100:

Compare that to some cheap knockoff that goes for $3.50 at Monosomething-er-other.

Sure they make a profit selling Monster Cables. Thats capitalism. But you get $100 of build quailty for that price. For $3.50 who knows what the heck you are getting. If some of that is profit, how crappy is that thing anyway?

Parody and there will be 100% agreement with Monster cables being overpriced.

Both are made by the same 12 year old chinese kids in the same factory.

Then even more reason to buy MC so he can get a raise

Not sure if serious.....

 

[WaTaGuMp]

$96.50 worth of marketing, $3.50 worth of product.

 

[Dankk]

You're joking, right?

Edit: oops. yeah it's a parody thread.

Bose sounds best when used with Monster Cable.

Only thing missing is there's no Monster store you can take your broken cable to. Otherwise, this would be 10/10 easy.

Especially if you have beats headphones

There is no such thing as "$100 of build quality" in a digital cable that either works or it doesn't.

I can take my $100 monster cable to any Best Buy store for support if i buy their $200 extended warranty. Its a no brainer. How else would i sleep at night?

Quiet! Lest you summon Spidey to lecture you about all those benefits that you are missing with your "poor man's" cable.

 

[SSSnail]

What? Have you ever seen the build quality on Monster cable? It's high end luxury cables for sophisticated people. You wouldn't understand.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

I used to think the same thing, then I replaced all my computer wires with monster cables. I mean all, USB cable, power cables, surge protector, dvi cable the works and the difference is beyond night and day. Electrical efficiency is at a all time high. I'm doing my part to save energy all with stylish cabling. My friends come over and they are in awe when they see my cables.

I would easily pay the extra $95 for that build quality. 24k gold contacts?!

Yeah, but Spidey is a self-admitted 1%'er. He can afford it

Hey if you cant afford a $100 cable its OK, no need to hate though.

Heh - for all the bashing Monster actually has a really good warranty -> lifetime (as long as you didn't cut it or something else stupid)

Quite a few cables in my house are Monster cables for this reason: I bought a lot of beat up/not working monster cables for 0.50 to $2 a cable and then spent about $2 a cable shipping them to monster for replacement.

Granted I would never pay close to full price for them but I do prefer them to Monoprice's 47 gauge/unbendable HDMI cables
