Mediabridge™ Banana Plugs - Corrosion-Resistant 24K Gold-Plated Connectors - 12 Pair/24 Banana Plugs (Part# SPC-BP2-12)

its the second set Ive purchased. Just love these. Easy to install, small, and well built.

Ive tried probably half a dozen types of banana plugs over the years, and these are by far the best designed. Im not the sort of audiophile who can hear differences between connectors ... I just go by quality of materials, ease of use, and strength of the connection, and these hit it out of the park on both counts.

I often wonder why it took so long for this product to appear on the AV Scene, after all other AV connections ( Coax Cable, RCA ) have gone compression for the DIY / Pro installer, so why not banana plugs? Ive tried the solder on kind ( a slow process and not easily removed ), the set screw kind, the pin in center kind, and the latter seem to fail you after the fact and result in call backs. But not these. The compression design ( strip about 1/4 lead, slip on the lower half of the connector, fray the wire out, slip on the upper and screw down tight and your done ) locks down the stranded speaker wire down tight, fine stranded wire or low stranded count. They simply do not let go. This should be a industry standard. Even Best Buy doesnt sell these connectors, and their offerings are far inferior. I initially bought a set to try out, one I did a small run of speaker wire jumpers from wall plate to a sub woofer. I was hooked and order much more to do a 7.1 , 5.1 and 6 speaker whole house audios worth of speaker terminals. Not a failure in the group. The other thing worth mentioning is the fact that the banana part that sticks into wall plates and receiver or any speaker banana post is indeed strong. It doesnt cave in, bend or deflect. It also hold firm once inserted. The packaging is nice. Not loose in a baggy, but inside a molded plastic insert, arranged in pairs. I used to go to Monoprice for my banana plugs, but no more. Its a shame, as now when doing my AV installs I have to source parts from all over. But for these parts, I do not mind. Thank you for the talent that invented this product.

For the price of these banana plugs you cant go wrong. Ive used more expensive ones that are easier to install, but at three time the cost. Dont look any further and buy these the will not disappoint.

Very impressed with the quality and value of these connectors. They have a good grip that allows easy connect/disconnect. Connecting the speaker cable is not real easy, as you have to feather the strands of wire around the internal center post. But once secured they did not come apart when attaching them to the receiver.

Great banana plugs, easy to use!

Im very happy

Great for my speaker system. I would purchase them again.

These are really convenient for connecting and disconnecting speakers.
