The reason Monster Cables are called Monster Cables is their size. Simply put, they come in thicker gauges than most audio cables.
There’s a misconception floating around that the wider gauge of a Monster cable actually improves on sound quality, or otherwise offers better performance… that’s not exactly why they’re made so thick… Sound quality really has nothing to do with how thick a cable is or what it’s made of or anything like that. The wider gauge of a Monster cable is simply for the sake of durability.
So if you’re working outdoors, or if you intend to run the cables through a wall and are worried that a rat might chew a smaller cable in half, Monster cables can be quite handy.
Because of the thicker gauge, Monster cables tend to bend, snap and break less often than thinner cables. However, all that sturdiness also has a drawback; many customers report that Monster cables are so incredibly strong and durable that yanking it out of the back of your TV might actually yank the cable socket out with it!
Now, this makes them ideal for permanent-fixtures, going back to the example of running a cable behind your drywall, but you may want to buy with caution if you plan on moving these cables around a lot.
The durability is well appreciated in certain situations, but it’s not always necessary. If you know the cable is going to be undergoing the tests of outdoor weather, Monster cables can be a great investment.
On the other hand, if you just want to plug your TV into your DVD player, you might want to go with a cheap cable. And if you do go with a Monster cable, at least make sure you get it for a cheap cable price by shopping around online.
Monster cables are certainly a good, reliable brand, just make sure you’re investing in them for the right reason, that being their durability. In any tests ever conducted on the matter, thicker, more expensive cables have never outperformed cheaper cables in terms of audio or video quality.
The truth is that all cables really are created equally on that front. Whether it’s a one dollar audio cable or a fifty dollar, oxygen free, gold plated, diamond encrusted cable, as long as it’s not frayed, it’s not broken, and it’s plugged in to both ends, it’s going to work as well as any other cable.
