Viborg 8PCS Banana Plugs Silver Plated Screw Locking 4MM HiFi Connectors for Speaker Wire, Wall Plate, Home Theater, Audio/Video Receiver, Amplifiers and Sound Systems

Pretty good solid connectors, of course not as good as CHORD for $35 but this is very good for $10 price.. easy to install

Looking to make a pair of speaker cables using Duelund wires. The finished product is the best pair of speaker cables I've had in my system. For reference, the cables it replaced are ClearDay Shotgun. So, I chose this connector because I wanted banana connections, minimal mass, solderless, cheap and high copper content to match Duelund's copper wires. I could go less mass by using KTE (Eichmann) plugs for minimal mass but they require soldering. This Viborg is the next best thing that doesn't require soldering. And, there is a price differential between this plug and Viborg other plugs. So, after building my first pair with these plugs, I bought more for a second pair of speaker cables using Western Electric wires. Only knock is the copper content is probably low. I put a magnet next to the connector and it is attracted to the magnet. This tells me there is iron/steel beneath the silver plating. That being said, the plug is still a fantastic deal and performs way above its price point. Just wish something in the description reflects the purity of copper used.

Simple to set up and a solid connection with the set screws. I find it odd that many of these banana plugs are not quite so so straightforward as these are, lol... Not sure what that's about. But these are exactly what I was looking for. I'm no audio aficionado, and these may not be for those folks. But, I wanted simple and sturdy, and that's what these are.

No heat shrink tubing. Also missing is one screw.

These are awesome banana plugs. I’ll never, ever buy another stupid normal banana plug that ALWAYS becomes loose having to constantly keep fixing the tension springs on them. The tension spring on this one doesn’t become loose at all. It has a really nice tight fit. They sound great, build quality is good, very happy with them. Happy enough to buy a second pack even though I don’t necessarily need them.

Really like these so far. I do a lot of switching around of components and speakers and have had many a banana plug break or loosen on me. I've had these for a couple months and they fit tight, but not too tight and haven't loosened over time. It has a completely different retention system which is why I picked them and why they seem to have lasted longer without problems. They are simple and just plain work. Believe me if they can stand up to my constant plugging and unplugging, then they'll work for any average user with no problem.

Very nice product

Easy enough to install. Look great when they come out of the package with the side tension bar exposed above the banana pin. The problem is once the bar is pushed in, it does not retract back up and apply tension. Sort of useless after on insertion.
