Review on GearIT Right Angle Banana Plugs For Speaker Wire (6 Pairs, 12 Pieces), 90 Degree Pin Plug Type, (Non Conductive Coating) Spring Clips Speaker Banana Jack Terminals (Support 12 AWG To 20 AWG Wires) by Thomas Unruh

Aesthetically Pleasing, Short Upon Contact

I ordered these for my new receiver to keep the plugs looking clean, organized and easily swappable for my 6.1-speaker sound system. I am not overly experienced working with electrical equipment so these plugs were a little tedious to connect the wires to the plugs. This is not a knock on the product, just an observation.The product advertises anti-tripping however, when a plug contacts another plug, the system shorts. This is a deal breaker of a feature considering the right angle plugs are aligned in close quarters and oftentimes do not have a choice but to touch for most sound equipment. My solution to this issue was wrapping a layer of electrical tape around each plug to avoid shorting. This was an extra step I did not feel was necessary if the product was as-advertised.They still look nice and are easily swappable but I recommend either using straight plugs in lieu of right angle plugs to avoid contact and subsequent shorting of your equipment.

Pros
  • The caliber is samall for thick wire.
Cons
  • The plugs may break easily
