Why have I bought airpods two months ago? I should’ve just stick bananas in my ears
Charlie the unicorn was right.
The only reason for reasonable quality speaker cables, is so that you get consistant volume between left and right channels if the volume is the same. That and so they don't break when you pull on them.
Nah it's literally only the latter.
Cheap and expensive will give the same volume. But cheap will snap if you look at them wrong, whereas expensive you could throw off the tallest building in the world and they'd have nothing happen to them when you fetch em.

Anybody else read the beginning of the title as "Blind taste test"?
Good cables are shielded well. That she makes them expensive. That's not transmission, that's shielding. I don't think they tested that but for digital audio is not surprising
