Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
how do u know if ur hdmi cable is 1.3 compliant? i bought a generic brand the other day and it does not specify this
Cable capability (and therefore compatability) is completely dependent on shielding, connection quality, and mostly, length. As long as the connections are correct (i.e., conforms to the HDMI spec pin for pin) there are no compatibility problems. The only problem is that an extremely long, poorly sheilded cable may have so much noise that it can't pass high frequencies cleanly enough to provide a 10gbps connection.
I'll bet that all the monoprice cables under 20 ft will handle any HDMI spec you want to try.
Question though: What features is 1.3b supposed to add? I know the 1.3 update added 1080p, but what's great about 1.3b?
