I recently purchased 3 of these for my home theater setup which contains an Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver, an Onkyo DV-BD606 Blu-ray player, a Playstation 3 game console and a Roku Digital Video Player. I initially purchased a 6ft HDMI cable made by Monster Cable for around $80 for the the connection from the receiver to the TV and needed 3 additional HDMI cables for the rest of my media centers connections. After some extensive research and shopping around I decided on these and I could not be happier. The build quality of these is exceptional. They are thick and well shielded and the picture and sound quality is equal to that of the 8x more expensive Monster cables. Also, one important consideration is that these are certified to be compliant with the HDMI 1.3 specification, meaning that they have greater bandwidth and are capable of transmitting via bitstream Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio (2 newer Lossless or uncompressed audio formats) as well as supporting xvYCC and Deep Color (essentially these 2 newer standards make colors look more vibrant and real), all necessary for today's HDTV's and for lossless audio for surround sound systems and blu-ray players that support these newer standards.Here is a link explaining the new HDMI 1.3 standard:[...]I spent a lot of money on my home theater setup and wanted to ensure I was getting high quality cables that would provide the highest throughput for the best quality picture and sound possible. These definitely fit the bill and saved me over $200. If you need HDMI cables, these are the best I have seen at this price point with specs and build quality equal to the much more expensive Monster cables. So, save your money and get these, you won't be disappointed. 

Question: How is the construction of the cable?
Answer: The build quality of these is exceptional
