Monoprice Gold Plated Speaker Banana Plugs – 5 Pairs – Open Screw Type, For Speaker Wire, Home Theater, Wall Plates And More

When I first got these I thought that I had made a mistake as there were no screws for holding the cable tight, however it is actually very simple...or maybe I am simple...but all that is needed is to unscrew the end cap from the body, strip about half a nails width of cable, thread through the end cap then all the way into the body of the plug, then tighten the end cap which compresses the cable tightly, and thats it done. Very simple and secure. I was a bit dubious about the quality of these for the price and also ordered a pack of 10 x HIGH END Nakamichi Bananenstecker Bananas plugs just in case. They cost three times the price but are not three times as good. In the future I will be buying the Monoprice plugs as they are excellent. Happy to recommend.

Got a set of these to connect my hifi to a wall plate. They're good quality, have a black or red band around them to help you maintain the correct polarisation of your wires and fit into a standard connection well. These things vary hugely in price so I wasn't sure what I'd get for these "cheaper" versions but I think they are fine and my speakers sound fine using them.

I've used the side entry screw banana plugs previously and was going to again but saw these thinking the wire would be completely out of harm's way. They're good solid plugs so no complaints there. I had to redo a couple of them as when I checked the cable for firmness it came out so I had obviously not put it in far enough. They're not as simple as the side entry screw type where you can see the wire clamped by the screw but they do look neater once done, fit the terminals on the speakers and amp firmly and everything sounds as it should. Can't complain at the price so nearly a 100% recommendation.

what can be said, they are solid good quality and they are easy to wire up with no silly little screws like my past ones. simple unscrew the body of the plug, stick in the wire and screw back together, job done. they are some great looking quality plugs at a reasonable cost too. only shame is you don't exactly get to see them once there wired up.

Excellent product. If you have a screw-driver with the small pentagon shaped head, you can use this to pull out the plugs on your amplifiers connections. Once done, these will fit like a charm. There are lots of videos on Youtube showing you how to get banana plugs into the screw connectors on most amplifiers. They're a good guide, but you don't really need to go through twisting paper clips into strange shapes and struggling to get the screw caps off. Just use a screw-driver with a small pentagon head, and you're done. Once connected, sound is clear etc. But the main advantage is you can easily connect and disconnect your speaker cables from you amplifier if you need to.

I had high hopes given the positive reviews, but these aren't really suitable for any decent speaker cable. Trying to fit to QED 79 for example, caution is necessary to prevent damage to the strands when assembling the connectors, but in particular I'm not convinced of the integrity of the connection. The fitting relies on the cabling to tighten against the inside of the barrel but the removable part falls slightly too short on overall depth, so I suspect the wiring doesn't become tight within the body of the plug. I would expect some slight compression on the coloured ring to prove the connection is adequate and secure. They will be useful for other projects/uses but you do "get what you pay for" and these are, in my opinion, limited for budget requirements.

These banana plugs are definitely the best value for money banana plugs on the market. Banana plugs are simple and not worth spending a fortune on as they don't affect the sound/signal in a audibly negative way so why spend more than you need too. These plugs are built well and feels good quality in the hand. The screw type banana plug is a good tool free method but a bit more fidily than the 2 flat head screw type. I bought these for my home theater setup and quickly ordered more sets for my stereo and desk setup.

Got these, wired them up (which was a pain, more on that later...) and they didn't stick in the holes properly. These are not long enough to stay in banana plug ports, and are very wobbly. The wiring up is not easy, and when you take the plug off again, it squishes the cable down to about half the size. This wastes the bit of cable, as you can't get it into anything, so you have to trim and re-strip the cable. Would not recommend!
