I've not heard that Monster makes "bad" cables, just that they are over-hyped and overpriced. If you can get the Monster cheaper than the BlueJeans, then go for it. UNLESS, your social consciousness level is high, and you are angry with Monster, as so many are, because they are suing any and every company, movie, and web site that uses the word "Monster."
