Banana Plugs for Speaker Wire 6 Pairs/12 Pcs, 24K Gold Plated Dual Set Screw Type Speaker Connector for Home Theater, Wall Plate, Audio/Video Receiver and Sound Systems (Red+Black)

Easy to install on wire ends with set screws. Feels and looks of good quality. Snap into speaker terminals snuggly.

These are so much better than the economy banana plugs I was using before. I got these mainly because I was a few units short of my needs, but also because in my new home, with a built-in set of theater speakers, my old plugs were very loose in the wall plug panel, but I hadn't had enough experience with banana plugs to know if this was normal or not. I chose this set because the plug appeared to be significantly fatter than the ones I had... of boy, was that true! Almost too snug. The only reason I give them a 4-star "very good" instead of a 5-star is because they were so tight that I almost felt like I was going to break the patch panel cover trying to get these in! But, thankfully, they didn't break anything and are now much more secure than I had before. These are also very easy to install. I like double-screw design that holds your speaker wire in two places, and the plug shroud appears very professional. I like them enough that I'm going to order some more so I can replace all of my original plugs with these, just surprised by how much effort they take to insert. [UPDATE: After buying my second pack of these, I've decided to upgrade my rating to the full 5-stars. These are great plugs, but yes, they are stiff, so insert with a little extra care.]

These do just what they are supposed to: securely connect speakers to amp neatly and cleanly. With two setscrews to hold the wire they work with the advertised gauges easily. Just strip about 5/8” insulation, secure the set screws and slip the desired collar over the assembly. Done!!

Item as described. Fits my 12 gauge speaker wire. I like that it has two set screws that clamp the wire securely . Also the the barrel of the plug goes on after the wire is attached so there no chance forgetting to slip the barral over the cable first. The banana plug fits tightly into banana socket. Users need to be aware that the barrel will be live since it is metal. Standard pomona plug spacing means the + and - barrels will be quite close together and the users must take take that in moving speakers and amplifier around to avoid shorting the connectors. Maybe slipping a piece of shrink tubing over one or both plugs would be advisable. That would be my only complaint. A plastic barrel would have avoided this issue. Shorting out a power amp could be disastrous! But still the quality of the product is overall very good.

These are the best banana plugs I’ve bought yet. They fit perfectly into the speaker connections. Unlike the ones I purchased in the past these have not oxidized or gotten loose. These are easy to use and create a solid connection to the wire. Lastly, the price of these is very reasonable for the quality of the plugs.

I have had this style of dual screw banana plug before and they're better than soldering. Usually the silver sleeves on these unscrew easily and come off to access the gold plug. These gold plugs didn't slide out from the sleeve. I finally discovered I needed to give a little push to pop the brass plug out. The plug being tight is a good thing as it ensures the cover is going to protect the ends of the plug where wires are inserted.

I've finally upgraded my receiver after 16 years and with new wiring I wanted to use the old plugs I had with something more 'cleaner'. I thought the chrome aluminum shells would be a great touch. Quality: 4.5/5 the plugs are a bit thicker and longer, but it gets the job done. Not knocking points for that as each receiver is different. I didn't think about diameter sizes when looking for new plugs so that's on me. However, I also tried using them for my speaker terminals and had to use a bit more force, but noticed after I got them in, they became a little loose. The plug never returned to its original "thickness"? The part where it bulges. It just now slips in and doesn't fit snug anymore. Again, this is more of a user and not the item, but when it comes to durability I would expect the plugs to have retained it's original rigidity. Before buying, I would check on the compatibility of plugs and dimensions (depth/diameter) These look great, but they do not fit flushed on my Onkyo receiver. Value: 5/5. 12 sets for this price is a bargain! Going to try these out for a week or so before ordering a different set of plugs that better fits my receiver. Performance: 5/5 I've experienced no issues with using these plugs. No static noises or anything.

I had normally just run speaker wires directly into the back of my amplifier but my wife wanted me to clean up the mess. I installed a speaker wire wall plate into the wall and purchased these plugs to attach the speaker wires to the wall plate. Extremely easy to attach the speaker wires into the plug. Just need a standard wire stripper and a small screwdriver. Each Banana plug is color coded black or red for the positive/negative wire and each set can be stripped and attached in less than 5 minutes. Very sturdy and secure. Great value and great purchase.

I didn't need or want top shelf expensive plugs, neither did I want low quality cheap ones. These are what I consider to be mid - range and they work for me. I really like the double screw fastening, nice and secure.

QUALITY BANANA PLUGS AND EASY TO USE.

Poor quality and several broke when inserting speaker wires.

I was using bear wires before hand. These made resetting my speakers up after a move so much easier. They were easy to install with two grub screws fastening the end of the wire and a screw on collar to cover the screws.
