FosPower Banana Plugs 12 Pairs / 24 pcs, Closed Screw 24K Gold Plated Banana Speaker Plug Connectors for Speaker Wire, Wall Plate, Home Theater, Audio/Video Receiver, Amplifiers and Sound Systems

​If you are still struggling to poke bare copper wire into the tiny spring clips or binding posts on the back of a crowded AV receiver, stop. These FosPower banana plugs are a small investment that make a massive difference in both sound reliability and your own sanity during setup.​The Design: "Closed Screw" vs. The Rest​What sets these apart from the cheap, open-screw types is the Closed Screw design.​The Setup: You feed the wire through the bottom, fan the copper strands over the teeth, and screw the top down. It creates a high-pressure, gap-free connection that won't wiggle loose.​Safety First: Because the wire is fully enclosed, you don’t have to worry about a single "stray hair" of copper touching the chassis or the neighbouring terminal—which is the #1 cause of blown fuses or "Protection Mode" on amplifiers.​Build Quality: 24K Gold Plated​They feel "hefty" in the hand. The 24K gold plating isn't just for show; it prevents the copper from oxidising (turning green) over time, which can muffle your high frequencies.​The Fit: They click into the binding posts of my Denon receiver with a satisfying "thud." They aren't loose, and they don't require a hammer to get in.​Colour Coding: The clear Red/Black rings make it impossible to mess up your polarity, even when you’re reaching behind a dark TV cabinet.​A Pro Tip for Installation​These are compatible with 12AWG to 18AWG wire. If you are using thinner wire (16-18AWG), make sure to strip a bit extra and fold the copper back on itself to give the teeth more to "bite" into. Once tightened, you can literally tug on the cable and it won't budge.​Final Verdict​Pros: Professional aesthetic; very secure mechanical connection; eliminates the risk of short circuits.​Cons: They add about 1.5 inches of depth to the back of your speakers/amp, so make sure you have enough clearance from the wall.​For the price of a couple of pints, you're getting a permanent upgrade to your home cinema's reliability. They make your setup look like a professional install rather than a DIY bird's nest.

I don’t usually write reviews - however I’m very pleased with this product, and how simple the installation wasI had my wires wrapped around the binding posts for months, and that was fine until I wanted to move the amplifier - not a chance! So when I recently installed surround speakers I decided to get the plugs so that all of my inputs were removableThe sound is neither better nor worse (I suppose that’s the idea) and whilst it took me a while to install them, that’s because I had to chop off the twisted ends from the binding posts and bare new clean wire.The grip on the wire is great, and the strain reliever is an added bonus. If I had to pick faults:There is a gap around the edge of the plus where the cable exits, it doesn’t look particularly professional. I suppose one could stick a screwdriver or similar up the end and possibly damage the connection - not sure how that would happen though!The part of the plug screw-on cover which dictates the +/- colour is only a small line of branding text. I like the uniform colours so they don’t look like cheap red/white phono inputs, but it may be difficult to spot when the cables aren’t plugged in.I bought the 12 pairs pack, only needed 7, but they’re probably going to be used on other aspects of my AV set up. Great value either way

No complaints. The banana plugs work well as intended that doesn't seem to impede the quality of the sound and provide a good connection with an initial tight fit. The plugs are easy to put together with 2 offset screws to bind the 12 gauge wire I was using to the plug. The only small complaint was one of the screws was not formed properly with the notch not being cantered so perhaps QA is not the best. The outer sleeves so the job and I like they are colour coded, but they do not feel very substantial and the thread at the top doesn't do the greatest job.However, overall, great value for money and would be happy to buy some more.

So I have had a few banana plugs over the years, I have to say that these are one of the better ones I have bought and are probably the best ones out there.Pro’s- Ease of use.- They hold your wire in firmly, two screws secure the wire tightly.- Great size not too big or too small.- They are built to last, I have no doubt there will last for years.- Excellent performance.- They look good, even though not many people will see them.- They are very tight pushing them into the amp.(Marantz ST7015), so not worried about they coming lose.Cons- None really, great valueIt is very true that you get what you pay for, these maybe more expensive that other banns plugs but they are worth the money.

Great quality item. Have connected to my 1982 vintage Creek amplifier and sound has improvedGreat improvement for low cost

Very good and easy to use. Perfect fit and accommodated the thicker wires I use very well

Easy to fit and provides a solid connection with excellent connectivity.

These plugs are excellent with two screw fasteners in each plug for a secure fixings. The look and feel is good and the anchorage in the sockets is firm and secure

Utmärkt passform och bra kvalitet, och är dessutom guldpläterade.

These FosPower banana plugs work very well. I have used dozens of these great FosPower banana plugs over the years, and they definitely work as advertised. When comparing apples to apples (or bananas in this case....lol), all Banana plugs work virtually the same way, and these banana plugs are no different. Strip speaker wire, unscrew banana plug cover, loosen speaker wire retaining screw(s), insert speaker wire, tighten speaker wire retaining screw(s), screw on banana plug cover, and wallah, a secure/conductive speaker/amplifier wire connector is created. Albeit, some banana plugs require the speaker wire to be splayed over a hollow post, and then they are held down by a screw-on retainer/cover. However, I much prefer these FosPower dual retaining screw type of banana plugs for their speaker wire holding ability.I always use high quality 14 gauge OFC speaker wire with these FosPower banana plugs, and they work perfectly together. I have used these FosPower banana plugs with many different speaker and amplifier brands over the years, including Klipsch, Pioneer, Polk, Denon, Dayton Audio, and Fosi with no problems at all. They just work, and work well. I have never had a FosPower banana plug break, release the speaker wire or short out, in all of the years that I have used them.Yes, these FosPower banana plugs do fit rather tightly into the connectors, at first, on a lot of speaker and amplifier brands/models. However, after the initial "squeeze" the banana plugs will lossen up, and become easier to install and remove. However, they still retain their great holding ability even after the initial squeeze. In order to overcome this initial "tightness," I usually just stick the FosPower banana plugs into a connector of an old portable amplifier, before assembling them, in order to squeeze them before inserting them into their final speaker or amplifier destinations. This is especially useful when working in tight places, where there is not much room to work in order to push the FosPower banana plugs into their tight connections firmly.Overall, I highly recommend these FosPower banana plugs. I am currently using them all over the house and shop for home theater and music listening (and testing projects). Just be aware of the tight fit in some speakers and amplifiers. Also, the 2 very tiny speaker wire retaining screws can be a challenge sometimes. Just use a good standard blade jewelers screwdriver, and be careful not to remove the retaining screws all of the way or over-tighten them. Once these things are mastered, using these FosPower banana plugs becomes second nature. Have fun!

La calidad de estos bornes es muy buena, el cable se ajusta con dos tornillos y por encima la rosca que protege y estiliza el conector, el ajuste con los bafles me encanto ya que hacen "clic" en los ojales de conexión, admiten cable de AWG 14 o incluso 12, talvez hasta del 10 (ese no lo probé). El precio lo vale, son durables, estéticos y muy practicos.

Great product, works as a charm

Me han gustado mucho, llevan dos tornillos, a la hora de colocar los cables funcionan muy bien, el cable queda perfecto.Que no os extrañe si veis que van duros a la hora de entrar.Muy contento con la compra.
