Description
Banana plugs make speaker installation a breeze. They are designed for use with amplifiers or speakers that use traditional binding posts. Not only is it easier to make the connection on the back of your amp, it is safer, with no chance of stray wire strands creating a short across contacts.
These high quality plugs are the closed screw type and can accept bare wire or spades. They are sized to fit speaker wire from 12 to 18 AWG. Each pair comes with one plug color coded red and the other coded black, for easy polarity identification.
The plug body is made of copper fitted with a ferromanganese tip. The entire plug is then plated with gold to help prevent corrosion and ensure smooth connections.
Features:
* Can accept bare wire and spades
* Can accept 12 to 18 AWG speaker wires
* Color coded black/red rings for maintaining proper polarity
* Secure, positive contact with binding posts
* Corrosion resistant, 24K gold plated finish
* Copper body construction and ferromanganese tips
* Each order includes ONE pair (2 plugs total)
*** 30-day easy returns. No restocking fee. Free lifetime technical support. 1 year warranty. ***

This was not the first time I've purchased these connectors. I've been happy with them over a number of years and buy more whenever I add more speakers.
Plug tip is not resilient

I purchased a bunch of these exact plugs many years ago to make speaker wires. They are good for the most part and are still shiny and clean with no oxidation after almost 15 years. One problem with them is that the metal used for the tip has no spring or resiliency to it. Once it gets compressed in a connection they stay that way without bouncing back to shape. I had to use a thin tack pin to insert into the pin slits to "pull" the slits back out to increase the pin diameter and tension. The tip also becomes kind of wobbly in the process. It can be tight some what by twisting it clockwise. They work, but not great quality.
Yes we have no bananas today

Bending wire over the inner piece is something I didn't get good at. There was difficulty screwing it in. Is there a better design?
NOT GOOD...

This banana plug was a gross disappointment... It was a pain in every way. difficult to add to cable, the plug in itself was pinched in and not flared out as shown in the add. I had to flare them out myself in order to get them to plug in snugly.. After a short amount of time the plating started flaking off and changing color. This is unacceptable in audio, at any price point. Spend a little more money and get a better quality product.. You'll thank yourself.

The base diameter of the banana plug is to wide. I had to pinch it with pliers to make it fit on the female connector.

These things work great, are easy to set up, and are the way to go for speaker cable connections. I definitely recommend them.

They are banana plugs so there isn't much that can go wrong. They hold onto the wires and stay put in the back of the stereo and speakers and work like they should. I am not enough of an audiophile to know if there is a difference between these and significantly more expensive versions.
Very nice plugs

nice fit. I soldered the connections, and they worked great. Again, shipping took way too long
Really hard to put wires into

I've done several pairs of these and every time I have a really hard time getting the wires into these. It seems like they could make the initial cavity that the wires squeeze into larger, then have it taper down as you tighten. Instead, the hardest part is getting the threads to connect.
Good product,company iffy

Easy to use and the sound is same as without the banana plugs, except now when I inevitably move each year or decide to rearrange furniture, the headache of fumbling with speaker wire is gone!
