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 open screw type and can accept bare wire, spades, or other banana plugs. 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.
This multi-pack includes five pairs of plugs, perfect for connecting the satellite and center channel speakers in a 5.1 channel setup.
Features:
* Can accept bare wire, spades, or other banana plugs
* 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 FIVE pairs (10 plugs total)
*** 30-day easy returns. No restocking fee. Free lifetime technical support. 1 year warranty. ***

Good basic bananas

Nice quality for the price. This wiring style forms a 90 deg return out of the component, helping to keep wiring tidy. I used 12AWG wire and 10AWG probably fits too. Recommended

I bought 5 pairs. True - it is easy to install. One and later another one broke in half while pulling banana plug with slight twisting from the receiver. I never had such issues with other banana plugs before.

Great plugs, I like the 2 ways of mounting the wire. I was looking for something real short and these are shorter than what I have.
Best Banana plugs on the market!

These all metal, heavy duty banana plugs are the best I've ever used. The plug end is a bit thicker than other brands, which means they fit snugly into the amplifier\receiver inputs where other brands tend to wiggle lose. They are very easy to attach speaker wires to in a very secure manner. The price for 5 sets is a great deal on Monoprice and are twice the price on other sites. Thanks for another great deal on a quality product Monoprice!

This was my first experience using these plugs in any form and I watch the video from Mono on how to use them . It did make the connections so much easier I found setting up these plugs a challenge. The wires slightly pushed over the sides internally on the inside prevents screwing the caps on . After do this so many times because I had issues with the receivers I bought elsewhere I had to repeat this process I got better at it . I did see a video from a individual claiming you do not have to do anything with the wires as long as you have a long clean section of wire cut because after you screw the cap on it will make its own connection but I haven?t tried it this way . I need 5 more and I will buy these again because the quality of them are excellent and I like them
Very impressed

Seems well made but a little loose when inserted into 5-way binding posts.
They work, and they are reasonably priced.

I wish I would?ve purchased these from the getgo. They are tremendously easier than normal banana plugs. Simply cut to length, insert, and tighten. Done!
Good design, but sub-par materials (high iron content)

I like the design of these plugs, but the materials are sub-par. Specifically, they contain much more iron than any other banana plugs I've tried (and I've tried several varieties). I determined this by holding a strong magnet (neodymium) next to the plugs. With other plugs, the magnet would move a single plug slightly, and was only weakly attracted, but with these, the magnetic pull was strong enough to pick up the whole bag of 10 connectors (6 pairs).

I've always been a bare wire guy when it comes to connecting speakers, but in my later years, it's gotten tedious. These connectors provide a reasonable price to value, and clearly MUCH easier to work with than bare wires. Seem solid so far.
Good Plugs

This plugs are superior to the crimp-on. They attach easily and hold the wires securely.

The screw mechanism doesn't tighten far enough to secure the wire. I'm using 16-gauge lamp wire, which is commonly used as speaker wire. It easily pulls out of these connectors. Ridiculous.
Does not hold speaker wire

I bought this because it had five star reviews. It arrived today, and these do not work at all. They will not hold the speaker wire. Regardless of how hight I tighten the plug, or how much speaker wire I put into the plug, the plug will not hold the speaker wire in the plug. The speaker wire falls right out. Really disappointed with this product.
Great Connector, Wrong application.

I purchased a Monoprice Home Theater System. I wanted a Plug Connector to add to Speaker wire ends for cleaner hook-up. Unfortunately for Me the angle of spring push connectors on back of all the speakers won't let me use them. No access to that area. I'm sorry that Monoprice failed to mention that bare or tinned bare wires are the only way to connect wires. All the different fancy gold plated connectors won't work. Plus, they got Me, for the cost of those 5-pair of connectors its not worth my time to chase return authorization, package and pay to mail back. So. Actual Connectors get 5-Stars, Monoprice gets 1-Star again. ( Had other problems with there Shipping Dept. )
