Lots of problems

I wasn't a big fan of this. First, even though they advertise that they fit 12AWG wire, it's actually not wide enough to fit my wire's insulation, so I had to strip a very long piece of insulation and just tuck in the bare wire. block it seems pretty bad. You roll the bare cable over the insert and then screw it in, but as you screw it in, it squeezes and unwraps the bare strands of cable so it doesn't fit. I unscrewed one and the metal wires inside were ripped to pieces. They also don't last…

Pros
  • Corrosion resistant 24k gold plated brass connector
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something

Terrible! Requires replacement in less than 1 month.

I have never had a bad experience with Monoprice products. I bought a set of 5 pairs of banana plugs at the end of October - the first pair of plugs had to be replaced after just a week, the next pair the next day and the next 2 pairs no longer provide a reliable connection today. one month functionality. PROBLEMS: 1. As other reviewers have pointed out, they have a lot of moving parts for no apparent reason. Those moving parts include a base that screws on and off to feed and hold speaker…

Pros
  • Bare wire or spatula can be used. Accepts speaker wire from 12 to 18 AWG.
Cons
  • weak

Monoprice Banana Plugs - Closed Screw - Great Value

These Monoprice Banana Plugs (closed screw, gold plated) are pretty good banana plugs for the price. Looks Great: Fully gold plated, thinner than others (but longer). Not all mandatory positions are created equal, so they may be a better match or not at all (rarely). Doesn't really fit my Micca MB42X speakers but they work fine (although easy to pull out). Oddly, they match my Micca OriGain amp stands perfectly. Instructions: Strip the wire about 3/4 inch. Unscrew the bottom of the banana plug.

Pros
  • Reliable positive contact with connector pins
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
