Banana Plugs with Dual Set Screws,Black and Red Aluminum Shell,6 Pairs

Very easy to set up and makes tight connection with speaker wire. Decent quality, though I'm not sure how they would work in a situation where you're changing speakers very frequently. I was looking for the crimp-on variety but no place I tried had them in stock. Using in a desk top audio system, where they're going to be in place more or less permanently. They work great for my purpose. Very quick and easy to install.

For under $10 bucks this is a great deal. I'm sure higher grade, audiophile quality exist for much more, however these worked seamlessly for me without any issues. All the parts were machined well and the anodized finish + colored wire shrink wraps were a nice touch. I recently set up all the wiring in my home theatre and this is a nice touch. I've used a similar product previously on multiple occasions. The only thing that could make this better is if the plugs were solid gold. These appear to be gold plated, but I have not tested.

I LOVE these banana plugs! They work and feel super sturdy. When putting in the wire it was easy to take out the metal screw holders put in the speaker wire and then tighten and screw the barrel. This worked on all my speaker connectors including the ones on the wall not just the receiver! I bought 3 sets but only needed 2.

The screwed connections worked well for 16awg wire, but the plugs would not fit into the terminals on my amp or my speakers. Since I was unwilling to use enough force to push them in, I used needle nose pliers to reduce the diameter of the plugs. They are still plenty tight in the terminals without having to force them in. I have used other banana style plugs before and have never had this issue.

After having used several less than stellar flex and banana plugs I was really pleased with the design and quality of these. I’ll be ordering more. Well machined, screws worked fine and secured the Amazon 16g Bronze speaker wire, an excellent cable, without issue. Let me share an important fact with some younger audiophiles that may be falling into the high dollar trap of monster cable and wire, particularly when dealing with vintage audio equipment, I’m 70 years old and have been playing with all of this since it was released: NONE of the top manufacturers specified anything larger than 16 gauge and that was rare. Typically they didn’t specify anything. Back then there was nothing but copper anyway.16 gauge copper, not aluminum clad has always been sufficient for great audio reproduction. None of the original terminals were designed to accept anything larger than #14 and you’ll struggle with that gauge on some equipment. “Oxygen free” makes me laugh. After spending a lifetime in the electrical trade all conductive cable is oxygen free when it is clad. Anyway, great plugs. Hope this helps save someone some expense and grief.
