Best bargain out there for quality banana plugs
342243
I've been in audio/video sales and installation for decades so I've seen hundreds of different connectors in my time so I can tell you that these banana plugs are as good as anything I've used in the past. They were also quite a bargain for such outstanding quality. You can find cheaper on the internet but price most often directly reflects the quality. These plugs were not only reasonably priced, they are high quality. They feel solid in your hand and couldn't be easier to connect.

The dual insertion option is a nice touch as well. Your wires can be inserted either from the back of the plug or from the bottom if you so desire. Many plugs offer either insertion option but not both. Having both is a bonus because your needs may change so you will never have to go out and buy a new set of plugs. The fit once inserted into the back of your component, is snug and will not loosen or pull out unless you physically pull them out. I can say without a doubt that I highly recommend these banana plugs if you want a quality product at a bargain price. I'm using them for my own high end home theater. Buy them. You will not regret your purchase.

These banana plugs are great, definitely a 5-star product.  They are very high-quality and make wiring a home theatre a breeze.  Do they increase the sound quality? Probably not, in fact using them just puts one more connection in the signal path.  However, they do guarantee a strong connection, they're easy to use, they look great, and they will help with resisting corrosion.  I did not notice any difference in sound after I installed them.  I used them with 12awg Monoprice wire (also an awesome product in my opinion) and they were a perfect fit and a great looking match. These seem to be the exact same thing as the Monster Quicklocks but at a much more reasonable price.  A previous reviewer said they fall "just short" of Monster quality...  Does he mean because the label is different, because everything else is exactly the same.  Both made overseas out of the same materials using the same design.  Not sure why people are still spending a ridiculous amount on the overpriced Monster version. Now you can buy the same exact thing with a different label for a fraction of the price.  Currently on Amazon the Sewell plugs come out to be $1.16 per plug, while the identical Monster plugs are roughly $3.75 each!  GLS Audio also offers these for about $2.50 per plug.  They are all the same product! I couldn't be happier with these and I highly recommend them.  Just an FYI, you can currently find these for $25 shipped direct from Sewell on the bay.

Very high quality.  I highly recommend these banana plugs.  It was a much needed upgrade to my trusty multimeter.

These banana plugs are amazing.  So easy to install, and makes hooking up your receiver a piece of cake.  And if you ever have to move your receiver, you'll really appreciate them.  Keep in mind these are sold in pairs, so make sure you have an accurate count.  Definitely a good buy.

These are great quality banana plug jacks.  Tight secure connection looks superb and feels high quality.  I used 2 pair of these in a pair of Home Theater Passive Sealed Sub enclosures.  They are indeed air tight and fit very tightly into a 1/4 inch hole.  These are great for the price.  Don't mess around with the other terminal cups available on amazon not only do these look better installed but are much higher quality and way easier to mount.  Most people don't have a large assortment of hole saws for the various sizes needed.  These don't require a hole saw just a 1/4 inch drill bit.

Very good, high quality plugs.  Easy to use and better than many I've used before.  Significantly better price than those you can get at places like Best Buy

First, if you're still maneuvering your wires through those little holes on your receiver and speaker terminals, you've got to start using banana plugs. Then you've got to decide which ones to use. These GLS Safe Connect Banana Plugs are hands down the best design available. No soldering, no set screws to deal with, no faulty connections, and no stray wire strands to short out with other wires or equipment.

Installation is simple. As the product pictures depict, strip about 5/8" of insulation from the wire and insert into the plug, leaving about 1/4" of wire protruding. Then bend the wire over the teeth of the connector and tightly screw on the cap. Of course match your colors on both ends for proper speaker polarity (Red plug to red wire/white writing; Black plug to black wire/no writing). IMPORTANT NOTE: If your wire is a smaller gauge between 14 and 18 AWG, keep all wire strands together and bend them over the teeth in one spot. This will ensure a strong connection between the teeth and the cap when you screw it on. If a larger gauge between 10 and 12 AWG, spread the wire strands evenly around the plug as you bend them over the teeth. If you're installing these on CL2/CL3 in the wall wire, slide a 2" piece of heat shrink tubing on the wire before putting on the connectors if you want a neat, finished appearance.

The quality of these is excellent. The threads are strong so you won't strip them when tightening the cap, the contacts are thick and sprung well for a tight connection within the terminal. They are gold plated for excellent conductivity, and the wide portion of the housing is insulated in case they do touch together.

Even if these plugs seem a little pricey, they are well worth it. They're a great investment to simplify installation, ensure solid connections, and eliminate the risk of wires shorting together. And if your connections are visible, these look very nice. I will use these GLS connectors from now on.

I use banana plugs for a lot of my projects I build, these are built for using less tools than most, you do not need a screwdriver to clamp the wire in place, still need a cutter though to strip the wire.  You can stack plug if needed. Nicely built, gold plated, well color coded, with expanded metal ends to hold well when plugged in.

I bought two adaptors identical to this one (same brand, same packaging) at my local Sam Ash store and paid more than three times as much for each of them as I did for this one. If you need to connect a cable with a quarter inch connector to a speaker with banana plugs, this is the way to go.

These banana plugs are awesome. I installed them in few minutes, and they replaced clumsy connections I had to my Pioneer receiver before that I had to screw in and would get displaced and needed periodic adjustment.

Just right for my home stereo setup. After testing them, I've decided to buy 4 more sets! Wires are good quality, banana plugs fit just right.

These banana plugs are excellent quality and look fantastic. Once expanded they are secure and won't fall out of your binding posts. They are extremely secure to your cables as well thanks to the secondary screw which grips the cable jacket, not just the bare copper. There isn't a better connector out there for less money.

The connection method of these superb connectors is secure, and reuseable. I find that these banana plugs made a very, very secure connection in my Yamaha amp, and take more than just a little tug to remove -- which is a Good Thing. Strip back about 1/4" of the speaker wire and, when inserted, fold it over the crimp point for a secure and more complete connection area. The only "skill" required for these is the ability to strip insulation off speaker wire without cutting off too many threads of the wire bundle. A few practice tries on excess cable with a razor blade and you'll get the hang of it.

The size, color marking, ease of use, and secure connection to both speaker wire (even 16 gauge) and amp/speaker terminal, makes these my absolute favorite. Even though I hate Monster for their predatory trademark infringement claims.

These Gold plated compression plugs; the Atlona gold plated banana plugs;  the Monoprice JX 74043 they are all the same plug, so just get the one that has the best deal for you...the quality is good, they work very well, and they are ROHS certified as being environmentally safe...so just get these plugs before they are all gone or the price goes up....

Good banana plugs, got the job done. However, a couple details that took out one star:

- This is not so "obvious and easy" to assembly, so a little paper with basic instructions would be appreciated.
- To be able to screw them tight, had to remove the plastic black/red rings. Not a big deal, some nail paint and/or the cable color coding solves this.

Bottom-line, I'm happy with the purchase.

Great price for this quality cable.  It was easy to run and terminate with banana clips.  I would purchase this cable again in a heartbeat.
