I had a cord similar to this one but after two times of use it stop working. I decided to try this one out to see if it was better. So far I have used it twice and it has worked both times. Normally when using a cord like this there can be a delay with it transferring to the TV but i didn't see a delay with it. The audio transfer is great and also does not have a delay. This cord is def worth it and works like a charm!!
