Blue Jeans CableBlue Jeans Cable Ten White Speaker Cable, with Welded Locking Bananas, 10 foot (single cable - for one speaker); Assembled in the USA

Why buy this? Why bother when you can DIY? Just why?Okay, let me begin by saying I have made custom DIY cables already. I used 10 gauge wires, the highest count of strands I could find, OFC pure copper. Twisted the cable for EMI, put BFA connector on it and made sure both cables were the same length.Here I am 3 years later. For me this decision was mostly because I didn't like the look of the cable and I made poor choice for the connector type IMHO. Buying a locking banana connector is pricey and these were recommended, so... why not? connectors + best cable + welded... alright I ordered.Differences?? Yes. I am not trying to sell snake oil, just what I personally hear.- When my amp was running but my pream/dac (XLR balanced) was off on energy saving, I could hear a hum in the speaker if I put my ear to them. This is gone (I assume better insulation/EMI rejection from BJC)- The bass feels... punchier...? more defined. For lack of better wording, it's like it was starving before- The mids have more clarity and vibranceMy speakers sound a bit snappier, and less muddy; like when turn off a bass tone stack.I highly recommend these cables, I wish I just went them first instead of having the trouble to make some. My only negative point is the connectors, a light negative tho. When you screw it to lock it inside the plug, the connector wants to turn altogether, so it's hard to grip. I had to use a plier to hold the connector ends while screwing the moving part with my grip. Very happy with my purchase, the ten white looks and sound great

This is an excellent speaker cable for a very good price. These are quality! I have purchased other Blue Jeans Cable products and these cables do not disappoint.

I've wanted to replace a pair of really crufty old cables I use in my office for a long time and finally decided to splash out on these. My second experience with BlueJeans cables, just as great as the first.For starters, nice heavy gauge, none of that 14awg stuff, but still very flexible. I like the cold welded bananas and the locking feature is impressive and highly functional.I really appreciated the careful and modest packaging. Low waste and reusable Velcro wraps to tidy them up when not in use.And on top of it all a reasonable price considering the exchange and what not. Thanks BlueJeans for another excellent product and thanks Amazon Canada for carrying it.

Very nice quality speaker cables. I have used a lot of different speaker cables over the years from fairly “high end” to generic and the Blue Jean speaker cables are fantastic. I really like the locking banana plugs on these to keep them snug and tightly connected. I have Emotiva XPA monoblocks that have the positive and negative speaker terminals about one foot apart from each other. I had to do a slight modification to the speaker cables by pulling up the cable end jacket (more like a pair of pants) and then carefully cut the jacket surrounding the two wires back about seven inches. The “pants” part slipped right back over the main cable jacket and all was good to go. These cables are no nonsense neutral cables so they do not act as tone controls to alter the sound from my speakers. I am aware of the whole psycho acoustical effect experienced by audiophiles who claim that adding a certain cable, power cord or interconnect cable makes their rig sound better. But, the Blue Jean speaker cables did make a difference over the generic 16 gauge speaker wires I was using. Is it because the Blue Jeans are 10 gauge or the cold weld connections? I don’t know but I can say I would highly recommend these to any audiophile who wants a great speaker cable without spending a fortune.

Great step up from basic speaker cable. Love the locking plugs, and love that they are welded. I bought one long 40 foot cable, and cut it in half. I use the locking plugs at the speaker terminals, and bare wire at the amp. These are rated so you can safely pull them through walls. Simple, basic, high quality cables.
