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.

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.

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.

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.

Price, quality and ease of installation make these a very good buy. Remove about 14mm of wire sheathing, twist copper, loosen screws on plugs, insert wire into plug. Try to center the wire if it's not a thicker gauge and then tighten back screw and then front screw and then tighten down to keep them nice and secure. Place the metal cover and screw it onto the threads and finger tighten. NOW the issue I had was they are very hard to push into the receptacles. I was worried at first but with some pressure they popped into the channel. After you understand this you'll have no issue pressuring them into place. Having them tight is actually a good thing but unless you have some strange devices they will go into the standard plugs. Really nice set at a great price. Who cares what the name of the product is? It works well and at a good price.

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.

These are working perfectly for my outdoor speakers. They are connected to two speakers that have been out in the elements for 2 weeks now without issue. Easy to connect once you realize you need to strip slightly more wire than it looks. Once you get that length right, these are flawless and easy to install.

I bought these without researching them after they were recommended with another product. I have worked with banana plugs once before on my home theatre system, so I wasn't too concerned. Upon opening these, I realized these were not the same kinds of plugs that I have worked with before. On the older design of banana plugs, you push the wires through a tube and then splay the wires around the edge of that tube before screwing on the outer shell and plug. However, these take a different approach, where you thread the wires together into the plug and then tighten a couple of screws to leave them in place. I was skeptical about how to do this and whether it would work, but I followed the directions provided right on this product page and it was easy (disassemble the plugs; loosen the screws; take your speaker wire and make sure you have about 14mm of bare wires exposed, but twist them together; insert into the plug housing; once you have it inserted, tighten the screws and then screw on the outer black/red shell)! I agree with other commenters on a couple of things: 1) You might have difficulty inserting wire that is thinker than 16 gauge (remember, the lower the number, the thicker). I was working with 18 gauge from an old set of Klipsch computer speakers and even then, had to gently poke it around until I could get it into the plug. It wasn't hard, but it takes some patience to make sure you have it inserted all the way (however, even if you don't, these will likely still work, it just wont be as secure). 2) The plugs themselves will feel VERY tight trying to insert into your components. I followed the advice of another commenter who took some pliers and GENTLY flattened the plug... not all the way, but enough that it was easier to insert. The plug metal is pretty soft anyway. So even if you don't do this, you'll probably be fine applying pressure, but I also didn't want to risk ripping off the plug when trying to pull it out. Apart from that, these plugs were much easier to deal with than the traditional... and they have worked GREAT! I'll be going this route from now on when I need banana plugs.
