What specs to look for in 25' HDMI cable


 Only used for audio from LG G2 TV, to Anthem MRX 740 receiver for 7.1 system.  No blue ray player, no gaming, nothing else connected to receiver.  Do I need earc, 8k, etc.  Not trying to necessarily save any money buying cheap cables, just don't want to spend money on fancy specs. for video that I won't be using.

Thanks.

If a HDMI cable works it is fine! No need to worry if another brand is "better" because all HDMI cables pass digital data the same way. 

Check out DH Labs 2.0B Silver HDMI cables which are 70% off today (Cyber Monday). I picked up 2 of them for my system, going for the 1.5 meter lengths since the price was so good. No need for 2.1 for stuff like 8K and eARC. 

Also, read up on their Why Choose Us? page to get a better understanding of who they are and what they do.

All the best,

I’d just try something like this for about $26 (4k braided version) and just see how it works for you.  Seems pretty well built and capable of doing whatever you’re looking for, and at the very least you can compare it to pricier cables to see if they’re worth the extra $$$.

Best of luck.
