WGGE WG-009 Banana Plugs Audio Jack Connector, 24k Gold Dual Screw Lock Speaker Connector for Speaker Wire, Wall Plate, Home Theater, Audio/Video Receiver and Sound Systems (6 Pairs / 12 pcs)

first time I used banana plugs these plugs are manufactured very well easy peezy

First time I've used "modern" banana plugs to make up some cables. new speakers and amplifier came with connector that accept either wires or banana plugs. I'm sick of sticking wires into little holes to make connections so decided to splurge and use these. Relatively easy to make up cables as no soldering is necessary. The last banana plugs I installed decades ago either had one somewhat clunky round headed screws to fasten the wires, or required soldering. These have tow set screws that hold the wire in place, and hold securely, and the covers slide on from the pin side and screw on, so you don't even have to remember to slip the cover on the wire before attaching the plug to the wire. All make great solid connections. Kind of wish I had ordered more of them. This set of 12 = 6 pair, used up 8 of them on a set of speaker cables and have 4 left. Now I see I have many audio devices that use the "wire into the hole" plan to connect that will also accept these handy connectors. I'll be switching everything over soon enough! For the few bucks they cost, the reliability, convenience and secure connections are well worth it!

Mostly good, had 2 (1set) of the brass screws cross threaded from the package but they were extras for my use. Other than that they are great, i had a previous set from over a year ago and still are great

I've purchased so many different types of cheap banana plugs and so far these are my favorite. They accept a decent size gauge wire, I'm using either 12 or 14 awg with most of them and they work great. Love that they have two set screws to hold the wire. You do need pretty small flat head screwdriver, not a quite a jewelers screw driver, but something not as big as a normal screwdriver. But the wire is held it nice and tight once they are tightened. The banana plug size is perfect too, everything I've plugged them into, they fit nice and tight, from speaker binding posts to amplifiers. They do seem a little long, but it may depend on what you're plugging them into. But they won't sit flush, and stick out a bit. It doesn't appear to be a mechanical issue, just may be cosmetic, as it would look nice if they sat in deeper or were shallower. Either way, they work. The black and red markings are nice too which helps you keep the polarity in check. Friends don't let friends wire their speakers out of phase! Buy these if you need 'em, you won't be disappointed.

These banana plugs are well designed and very well built, especially for the price! The build quality is excellent! I really like how they work. It's just a banana plug. How can that be? The wire is inserted from the rear, of course, and is held in place by two set screws. Fine enough. The part that I really like is that the cover, or grip, is inserted from the FRONT and threads into place. That makes for a very nice mechanical and electrical connection. More expensive connectors work this way but even most those do not do not have the quality fit and finish as these relatively inexpensive connectors have. Note that the entire connector is metal. The barrel, or handle, is not insulated so care must be taken when handling them. Common sense dictates that they should not be handled when the circuit is live in order to prevent accidental contact between two live conductors. For heavens sake, just turn the power off when you are making connections. It's not hard to do. Your amplifier will thank you.

These require some force to insert. That's a good thing in my opinion as it gives a secure fit. I'm using 14 gauge stranded copper speaker wire and have a secure fit to the plugs. Bottom screw into the insulation and top screw into the copper wire. I suggest evaluating your connection requirements since bare wire works just as well and takes up less reward space, if you have space to the rear yet limited access to the back panels of your equipment and/or change out your equipment often, these will save you frustration and insure a proper connection.

After replacing my old banana plugs with the new WWGE bananas, I couldn't be more pleased with the results. The product is perfectly mechanically designed and the build quality is flawless. Everything fits together better than expected and they look great, too. I'm pleased to finally have reliable and highly functional cables with more solid terminals. The wires are old AWG 14/4 twisted together to make AWG 11/2. The thicker gauge fits easily, with room to spare in these plugs. Great product delivered by a great company! Highly recommended anytime. I'm ordering more.

I wanted to clear up a complaint I've seen about these and some other similar products. Some users have complained that the metal sleeves on these could touch each other and short the amp. Just because they look like metal doesn't mean they conduct electricity. These covers are not conductive. (See picture) Of course it's still wise to turn the amp off first because the tips certainly could short against one another, but the sleeves will not. I agree with some other reviewers that these are unnecessarily tight to insert, but you can crimp them down a little and they work just fine. I've bought this same style of product several times under different brand names and they all seem the same to me. I like these because they don't come loose over time like some other designs. These take longer to install, but they stay put. The only drawback I can see is that they make the wires protrude a couple of inches out the back of the amp, but that's usually not an issue. Makes setup way easier than using the screw terminals.

Good product. Recommended

Compré estos correctores plátano para un AVR 1610 Harman. Me gustaron mucho, son de buena calidad y materiales. Al principio intenté conectarlo a la entrada y no podía. Pensé que había comprado unos equivocados, hasta que leí varios comentarios acá, que también habían batallado la primera vez. Y con un poco más de fuerza entraron bien, sin dañar la conexión. Los recomiendo bastante.

these did not fit my speakers or my AV receiver terrible don.t buy

fast delivery. good packaging and item seems to be of good quality. received items in good condition.

Poor quality and very late delivery, waste of money. Don’t buy it!!!
