1 Callum M.  · Terrible customer service. Item not as described. Dishonest staff, claimed to have sent replacement but it was a lie.

Avencore 1.5m SuperSpeed USB Type-A to Type-C Cable (USB 3.0 5Gbps - Black) Terrible cable, drops the connection randomly and then constantly then works fine then repeats dropouts. Does not matter which computer or which external drive is used. Show details

Review of the Hi-Power BlueTooth Wireless Speaker (AUX, Bluetooth & SD Card Support). I was specifically looking for a speaker that can house an SD card, but this seems to be an uncommon request, so I was thrilled to find yours. Unfortunately, it's awful. The sound quality is poor, the speaker itself is cumbersome to use, the battery life is… Read more

horrendously bad. I used it once and won't ever use it again. would prefer to leave a review for the product itself and not Cable Chick but I can't work out how to do it.

I purchased this cable for the Marantz cinema 30 to run to a jvc 4k projector and chose the cable as it read to be the best and had a 5 year warranty. When it arrived it was presented well in the packaging. I tested the cable before running it through the wall and ceiling and although taking a while to sync with quite a lot of on and off blinking… Read more

with the projector it worked. After running it through the wall and ceiling from the AVR to the projector it did the same with taking a while to blink although this time it took longer the more it seemed to be used until it stopped working. I tried the cable direct to the Apple TV and the Panasonic 9000 blu ray player and it worked perfectly.

I called cable chick who told me that they had had a few people experience the same issue with different AVRs even an employee. However said I could send it back for testing and a possible refund or wait for the supplier to respond about the issue.

After a few weeks I received an email to state that the supplier reported no issue and cable chick would only give a $25 refund for a cable that all up was $197 when posted.

I will follow this up with the ombudsmen and consumer affairs.

I purchased a replacement cable locally through Shelby’s who were surprised at what I had experienced with cable chick. The cable worked first time and cheaper than the avencore.

Buyer beware and my advice would be buy locally when you can.

Yes they arrived and "What" cables. 1.5m Avencore Crystal Series Digital Coaxial Cable & CVBS Compos – Good price for oxygen free copper leads Cables arrived in time and were as described. The leads are performing their function of connecting a pre-amp to a power amp section of a hi-fi system with aplomb. March 12th 2019 Update: Seeing Red light sounds excellent Firstly, Cable Chick have again provided the goods; in time, well packaged this was… Read more

despite there being a derailment of the shipment (postal tracking information on-line) Secondly, I used Cable Chick readily accessible information about cables so I could make the correct choice.

Yes indeed optical is better. The link was used to connect a Yamaha network CD player to an Onkyo amplifier. This allowed me to use the CD optics with the Onkyo D/A converter. My objective was to ensure that the various sources of the music system could be input balanced to the same gain. As most of you know the analogue output of Cd players can be high (typically 2.0 volts). This can be a problem when using tape and lp pre-amp sources. My solution was to allow the Onkyo handle the analogue sources for tape and FM radio and direct optical link for the digital output of the Yamaha Network player. In short all digital sources fed into the Onkyo via the Avencore Platinum 2m TOSLINK Digital Optical Audio Cable. The result was all sources gave similar output at the speakers for a given volume control position. This was my primary objective. One of the side benefits of using the optical cable is that there is no interruption from radio interference which can occur if you use a digital audio connection from the player to the input of the amplifier D/A. As a moan it is time that the laws to do with motor noise suppression are enforced as, nearly on a daily basis, motor bikes, cars and other vehicles with “souped up” performance zoom pass my house leaving “dirty air” for my wi-fi and other kit to “see through” to play my media and not always successfully. Excellent cable. Excellent result. Mike

An excellent company selling quality products at value for money prices – Not knowing too much about co-axial cables I eventually found out what specification I needed. The challenge was the people selling co-axial splitters did not provide enough performance data to make an informed decision, or any indication of their of their quality. Buying just on price is not an option with this product. Cable Chick were the… Read more

only people who gave me the detailed information I was after, the product looked robust, they had good reviews, and the price was reasonable and less than what was being offered on other sites with less information, so I placed my order.

When I received it which was very fast, I was pleased to see the specification of the splitter was written on it confirming the online description, and it was a more robust and quality product than I expected. In short what they offered was was what they sent in absolute detail.

I have since fitted the splitter which works perfectly. The thing I like most about Cable Chick is what they show you on the screen is exactly what you receive. All aspects relating to taking the order, tracking and freight are excellent.

I think I placed my first order with CableChick about four years ago and have been a great fan ever since. CableChick is my first port of call for cables and accessories. I have never had a problem with any of their products. What I like most is the quick, personal and reliable service. I have recommended them to many of my friends and colleagues… Read more

as a quality supplier with very competitive prices. Only problem I ever had was connecting a long HDMI cable the wrong way around!!! They do however warn you about this very clearly on their site! My bad!!!

Sensor lights don't work. Don't purchase from Cable Chick – Purchased the 6-PACK Rechargeable Wall Sensor Light (Multi-Mode, USB-C Rechargable) and they do not work. Per the product's advertisement, we installed a set of lights in our stairwell. The lights mostly don't turn on when walking nearby in the dark (this is a safety hazard in the dark) or stay on for much more than the time indicated in the ad.… Read more

We ordered 6 lights, and 5 of them are not sensitive at all unless they are touched or shaken. I've got videos to support these claims, which I can send through via email. We are very disappointed.

Works fine but needs some tech knowhow to install a printer – Re USB8925: 0.8m USB to 25-Pin Parallel Printer Cable Converter This device is NOT plug and Play for all printers on Windows 11. You have to add it manually. Go to Settings > Printers and Scanners > Add a Device > Add manually. Choose "Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings" Open the dropdown on "Use an Existing Port" Look for… Read more

a port that says USBxxx (Unknown Printer) and select that. Click Next Find your printer model in the list, select it and follow the prompts after that. You might have to give it a different name if it already existed. I just added USB to the name. Eventually it will add the printer and you can use it, and it works fine :)

I have purchased are packaged in strong Bags with sturdy Ziplock seals, not flimsy cheap plastic bags. The shipping was lightening fast, can’t ask for more than overnight to an interstate destination. I will continue to use the Cable Chick store for all of my cable requirements.

Great pricing and quality of cable products – I recently purchased a HD Ultra Pro Cable and HDMI switch from Cable Chick. They had a wide range of products from which to choose (depending on features and $) and the website was easy to move around and compare products. My orders both arrived very quickly and were as expected in terms of packaging and the actual product quality. In my experience Cable Chick pricing is always the best in Australia and for premium quality products.

The cheapest place to buy cables – On Thursday 7th April 2022 I purchased an Avencore Component Video & Audio to HDMI converter and a 2.5m Avencore Crystal Series 2 RCA Stereo Audio Cable for $98.95 so so I can hook up the Panasonic DVD Recorder/VCR to the TV and copy DVDs with sound. The staff were kind to me and the service was amazing. Show details ·  1
