What reviewers think
Magazine reviewers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below.
How useful are hifi reviews? We consider them useful for three things: (1) Surfacing new products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've ever heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's unique attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on everything—rarely being negative for fear of souring relationships with manufacturers. Further, they seldom have more than a couple products on-hand at once, relying on their imperfect memories to compare to past products.

Compared to their other products
We think it's helpful to understand how this product fits into the brand's full lineup (below). To learn more about these products, visit the brand's page.
AudioQuest Rocket
- Positioning: Positioned as a mid-range option within the lineup, offering solid performance at a more accessible price point.
- Description: Uses solid-core construction and Perfect Surface Copper (PSC) rather than the more expensive Perfect Surface Copper+ (PSC+). These cables are ideal for users with a moderate budget who want to enhance their audio system's bass performance without the need for the advanced noise dissipation technologies found in higher-end models.
AudioQuest Robin Hood
- Positioning: Part of the Folk Hero lineup, offering advanced technologies at a step below the top-tier models.
- Description: Features ZERO technology, which minimizes impedance and enhances signal clarity. Compared to the Rocket series, offers improved separation and detail. While not as advanced as the William Tell, it provides a significant upgrade over older models like the Castle Rock.
AudioQuest William Tell
- Positioning: Part of the Folk Hero series, positioned just below the flagship Mythical Creatures series.
- Description: Incorporates ZERO technology and a 72V Dielectric-Bias System, offering superior noise dissipation and signal integrity. Compared to the Robin Hood, provides a more robust build. The use of Perfect Surface Copper+ (PSC+) further distinguishes it from lower-tier models.
AudioQuest Thunderbird
- Positioning: The entry-level model in the Mythical Creatures series, offering high-end features at a more accessible price than its siblings.
- Description: Uses high-purity Perfect Surface Copper+ (PSC+) and advanced noise dissipation technologies. While not as refined as the Firebird or Dragon, offers a balanced tonal quality and is suitable for users seeking high performance without the top-tier price.
AudioQuest Firebird
- Positioning: Sits between Thunderbird and Dragon in the Mythical Creatures series, offering a higher level of performance.
- Description: Features clarity and detail, with a clean and punchy bass that surpasses the Thunderbird. They are designed for audiophiles who demand superior sound quality.
AudioQuest Dragon
- Positioning: The flagship model in the Mythical Creatures series, representing the pinnacle of cable technology.
- Description: Offers exceptional transparency, with a vivid midrange and rich tonal color. Compared to the Firebird, provides an even darker background and more detailed sound.
