Summary of reviews
These speaker cables are generally well-received for their solid construction, good sound quality, and affordability. However, some guests have noted issues with the stiffness of the wire, the quality of the banana connectors, and the separation of the cables. Despite these concerns, many guests find them to be a good value for the price.

Very poor quality cabling
1 out of 5 stars

I am an audio engineer, and I needed some inexpensive cables for my home audio lab. I thought these would work nicely since I needed some banana-to-banana connectors for my lab equipment. While these cables look good from the outside and have decent quality banana connectors, the wire itself is very stiff...not what you expect from good quality stranded wire. I opened up the cable to look at the wire. What I saw was a stiff plastic substrate with what looked like steel wire. Hard to tell what this stuff is, it could be plated copper, but seemed too stiff for copper This is nothing I would ever use for audio. I don't trust the build quality and the wire type. I would purchase the bananas if they sold these separately. I am sending these back.

These were very nice quality. I'm not sure why, but I assumed the Black & Red caps were already screwed on, so I knew which end was which. Wasn't hard to put them on, but if someone was not paying attention, it could have been switched around. Once I put the caps on though, these worked great and feel very solid. I would get another set again, but I feel it should be noted about the end caps being loose. Not sure if this is an option, but if there was a way to label them, I would have paid extra for that as well, but straight out the gate, these are fantastic speaker wires.

I like how these cables are made, and use them in my home audio projects. I do find the metal collars fall off easily though.

Great cables. And a great company to do business with. Thanks!
Tips come off. CCA, not copper.

These cables look nice, but the banana tips break off in an irreparable way. Some even came with the tips broken. Your equipment could be damaged if a tip get stuck inside the plug. Also, these are copper-clad aluminum, not copper.

Good value speaker cables

Good cables. Good 'bang for the buck'. Very clearly designed to easily tell which is left and right: that actually comes in handy when you're trying to get a look at the back of an amp or speaker and it's hard to see what you're doing back there. Reasonably flexible. The banana plugs make for a solid connection and the quickest changes (connecting/reconnecting) if your particular equipment takes banana plugs. For the best sound, buy the shortest speaker cables that your particular room/placement situation will allow. I'd take these over cheap 'zip cord' ANY day!
I highly recommend these cables

These cables are excellent for the money. They would be rated excellent even if they cost five times more.
Tip detached from wire. Poor quality.

The balloon tip of the plug detached from the main wire after a single use. Terrible workmanship. I'd like a replacement, please.

I don't claim to have "Golden Ears" but I've been involved in what used to be called "High Fidelity" for decades. Is my hearing as acute as it once was, no. But it's still pretty good, for which I thank God! I'm glad that I bought these Monoprice speaker cables, and I recommend them without reservation.

They are the correct length and are durable cables that are safe being threaded through the speaker stands. Good price also.

These are great speaker wires. Forget the fact they don't cost an arm and a leg. I had been using some fairly expensive "brand name" speaker cables and thought I would try these when I noticed them on sale. I switched the cables and hear absolutely no difference between these the much more expensive ones. Highly recommended for those who care about quality sound and not bragging rights. The aluminium cable heads were loose and needed to be screwed on tight, but that was the only issue I have found with them. In the FAQ section, someone mentions that the wire is Copper Clad Aluminum. The package says the wires are "100% Pure Bare Copper." I have not taken the cables apart to confirm this.
Banana Plugs Weird Size

The banana plugs are a weird standard, and don't fit with some normal speakers. Definitely would not purchase again.

The cables would be amazing... except that they are weirdly sized banana plugs that don't work with some pretty standard speakers

Great for bi-wire application

Since these were on sale I bought 4 sets so I could use in a bi-wire from amp to speakers. They sounded better than my single-wired Kimber Kable 4PR. I'm very happy with their performance and great value. The banana plugs are "expanded" to provide a snug fit. You should align them properly and then give them a good push to insert. I believe they look classy and perform very well.

Ordered a set, the pins either broke off or stayed in the speaker terminal when removed, received another set on a warranty return, same thing happened again. They look good, but the ends are junk.
