Excellent quality
Crutchfield customer from Colonial Hgts, VA on 3/28/2021
Comes with a screwdriver and very easy to assemble, nice and tight. The ends fit tight in place. Note to buyer two of my speakers are wall mount and the plugs don't fit so I just disconnected and screwed on.
Pros: Tight fit, comes with screwdriver
Cons: Won't fit when wall mounting speakers

Great Plugs!
Crutchfield customer from Apple Valley, MN on 3/27/2021
It's nice to see a company sell great products with their brand name on them. These banana plugs are well made and I would highly recommend them.
Pros: Two set screws in each plug securely fastens the speaker wire to the plug.
Cons:

Great Option for the Price
Crutchfield customer from Noblesville, IN on 3/25/2021
I agree with many of the reviews that these banana connectors don't fit unless you crimp them with a pair of pliers. In spite of that, the speaker wire is secured with 2 screws, so it's not coming loose. Crimping the tips was a minor, extra step, but they fit very securely once installed. For the price, a very good option for my home A/V system.
Pros: Speaker wire is secured with 2 screws.
Cons: Have to crimp the connectors to get them to fit.

Eric from Denver, CO on 3/24/2021

Great Banana Plugs
Crutchfield customer from San Angelo, TX on 1/16/2021
I have had plugs where the end came off in the input, others where the wire pulled out of the plug and still others where the plug was loose in the input. I read that some felt that the plug was too big for the receiver input. These plugs did not want to go into my Denon 4500 inputs. A pair of pliers and a squeeze of the end of the plug, problem solved. These plugs provide a very secure connection with speakers, receiver and wire. I highly recommend them.
Pros: Tight fit
Cons:

Crutchfield Banana Connectors are too large
VINCE from Wesley Chapel, FL on 1/11/2021
These plugs are too large and do not fit. Way too large. Crutchfield's tech supports claims they get 20 calls a week that their banana brand plugs don't fit. I would need a hammer to smash it in. They want you to crimp the head of the plug with plyers. For whatever reason their plugs are larger than other brands. Crimping would weaken for long term use. The Customer Service is nice when you have questions, or are ordering, but when you have a return it's a different story. I'm not so happy.
Pros: None
Cons: They don't fit. Too large. Needs crimping by the customer. No documentation to state the plugs need crimping by the customer.

Awesome
Crutchfield customer from New Smyrna, FL on 1/4/2021
Not bad, I suggest putting a TINY bit of blue loctite on the threads when threading the barrel on the banana connector. Otherwise, i love them. There are two set screws to clamp onto the wire and holds the wire great. Very nice for ease of setup and ease of moving speakers around to clean.
Pros: Nice quality Tight fit into female banana connector on speaker/AVR
Cons: Barrels loosened up during speaker vibrations, hence the loctite

Gets the job done
Crutchfield customer from Mattapan, MA on 12/29/2020
Solid build and good when using on 12g speaker wire. I found it difficult to push the connector into the receiver compared to other banana connector I've used in the past. Also the metal sleeve seems to unscrew itself due to the speaker vibration over time. The lugs used to secure the speaker wire were unfazed from the vibration.
Pros: Metal build
Cons: Cannot be used for a 12g 2 to 1 wire build (2 red 2black on the speaker side and 1 red 1 black on the receiver side) also build quality seems a little off due to the issues in the above review.

After looking at numerous banana plug connectors on the internet I decided to purchase these based on the design and the many positive reviews that they received.

Crutchfield banana plugs
Crutchfield customer from Wausau, WI on 10/28/2020
These are great plugs! There are no directions but are self explanatory. There is an included screwdriver for the two set screws. Unscrew the cap. Loosen the set screws. Twist your wire tightly and twist the plug on in the same direction and it will keep your wires tight. Tighten the set screws. They do take a little effort to push into your speakers and receiver but once in they will not slip out. Thanks for another great product Crutchfield!
Pros: Two set screws. Clean look. Stays in place.
Cons: No directions, but there is a video. Can be difficult to push into speaker/receiver

The Best
Crutchfield customer from Albuquerque, NM on 9/22/2020
Great price for something that works. I bought another top of the line brand and the screws were tiny and were easy to loose. The other brand was difficult to assemble and Crutchfield's were easy to work with I put 4 on in the same amount of time for doing one of the more expensive brand. I love messing with my audio system but I don't like tedious non productive results. Crutchfield's are well made and easy to use and best of all less expensive.
Pros: Easy to use, well made, less expensive.
Cons: I bought another brand before I bought Crutchfield's!

Great plugs, little too shiny for taste
Crutchfield customer from Agawam, MA on 8/24/2020
Good quality, fairly easy to install. For me, this style of the two pressure screws is preferable to the type when you insert the wiring and then fold it over the lip and tighten the jacket over that. Minor complaint that the jacket is shiny chrome, making the black and especially red writing harder to see, especially in dark spaces. A matte or nickle finish would be more functional and also more attractive. Or even better, use bold red and black solid banding or make the entire jackets red and black themselves.
Pros: Prefer this dual screw pressure style over the fold-over-the-lip style
Cons: Jacket is overly shiny, not too attractive and makes the black and red lettering harder to see

Way Too Tight
John from Allen, TX on 7/31/2020
I'm mystified that so many people seem to love these things. I have one setup with a big Marantz receiver and B&W speakers, another with Marantz and Def Tech, and my main home theater with Marantz and Golden Ear Tritons. With every piece of equipment I was very uncomfortable with the amount of force necessary to get the plugs into the terminals. Likewise extracting them. I stopped using them and will go back to my Monsters, which fit fine-I just need more of them. They are well made, but unusable.
Pros: Well made plugs
Cons: Too large to comfortably fit my equipment.

Scott from Lehi, UT on 5/5/2020
These are pretty decent and I'm glad I went with banana plugs this time around. Each bag of these came with a little screwdriver so you don't have to go dig up a jewelers set if you don't want. I didn't see that in the description, so it was a pleasant surprise when I opened the bag. I really liked being able to just slide the wire inside and tighten the screws and my fingers really appreciated it. There were two things that bothered me about them, 1) the cover unscrews up over the tip, which threw me off at first and there was no note/picture about that, 2)some of the covers don't seem to want to stay screwed tight. The dual set screws work great and hold the wire securely. The colors on the cover let you easily keep track of positive/negative wiring. All the plugs fit very securely when plugged in and look really nice. Each pair of plugs came in its own little bag so it was easy to grab a few and know you had evenly matched sets.
Pros: Look nice, good value, secure connections, come with screwdriver, easy to use.
Cons: Covers twist counter-intuitively (A note/picture about that with the bag would be nice.), covers don't always want to stay tightened.

Easy to use. I used with Crutchfield flate 16 gauge wire. The cover easily unscrews which can be a problem. One of the clips wasn't drilled out as deep as the rest so I could not seat the wire as deeply. Very snug fit in new speakers. Used for new Paradigm home theater speakers and seem to be working well. I am concerned that there is no insulation where in some instances with binding posts that are too close together there may be some contact.

I've never used banana connectors because I thought I might lose audio quality. I've hassled with the binding posts on speakers and amps for literally decades. I finally had enough and bought good speaker wire (audioquest G2 here at Crutchfield) and these Crutchfield banana connectors. INSTANT GAIN in audio quality! My wife walked into the family room and within 5 seconds said "wow that sounds good" I wish I would have done this many many years ago.

Thumbs Up - A review from a newbie
Crutchfield customer from Mount Vernon, NY on 8/6/2019
As a newbie I will give you my perspective. First of all you need to apply pressure to insert the plug into the receiver. Initially I thought the plug didn't work and I didn't want to press too hard because I didn't want to break anything. After calling Crutchfield I was told that I had to apply pressure. Once I did that it went into the receiver. Secondly make sure you unscrew the correct screw. I did the wrong one initially. The screw is so small that it took me forever to get it back in. When you do the correct screw you will see that there's a little opening for you to put the wire into the tube of the plug. There is no need to take the screw completely out. Once I got over the stumbling blocks, things went smoothly. It took me about 20 minutes to do the remaining plugs (12). Now that I know how to install the banana plugs, I will always use banana plugs going forward. It makes the insertion of the speaker wire so much easier! When I buy new speakers, I will make sure that they accept banana plugs. I would definitely recommend the use of banana plugs. It is well worth the cost which isn't that much.

Great Product for Speaker and Receiver Connections
Scott from Franklin Square, NY on 5/18/2019
This was my first time ever using banana connectors
Pros: Great product to save the stress of constantly tugging directly on the wire. Also great for connecting speakers to receiver with all the close quarter spacing. Eliminates possibility of loose speaker wire strands touching where they shouldn't touch and shorting out speakers or receivers.
Cons: Nothing major- it was my first time ever using banana connectors. Loosening the small screws was tedious , but only took a few minutes until I got the hang of it. Did twenty connections in one afternoon. WHEW!

Kevin from Cleveland, OH on 4/9/2019
These Plugs work great, especially at this price. I will say that they came with no instructions, and I did struggle for 5-7 minutes, (and finally 2 pairs of pliers) to figure out how to access the set screws and insert the speaker wire. It looks as though the silver body would unscrew into 2 pieces below the Crutchfield logo for access. NO.... Then, it looks like the gold plug part would unscrew from the silver casing. NO..... (not intuitively, anyway) In fact, the gold plug part is reverse threaded (IMO) and screws DOWN into, and eventually out of the silver casing. While this does allow assembly to the speaker wire and THEN the re-installation of the silver casing, my Engineering mind was thrown for a temporary loop!
Pros: good plugs, great value.
Cons: 2 sentences and a picture in the bag would have saved several of us a bit of a challenge!

Plastic. The tips were really spread out and would not fit into the speaker Jack terminals without extreme force.

Great Clips to hook your speakers to your receiver cleanly and easily.
Pros: Very inexpensive to get the job done.
Cons: Not sure because I've never bought more expensive banana Jacks. So I'm not sure of the difference in sound quality.

Banana connectors are nice quality. I have my sub wired as speaker level where I connect both speaker and sub wires together. No problem using 2 wires with these banana connectors. Nice having 2 set screws to hold the wires.
Pros: Nice quality, 2 set screws, tight connections.
Cons: none

Crutchfield customer from Sayreville, NJ on 12/23/2018
The Clips take some time to connect wire with screws and a provided screwdriver, but once together a very good secure plug compared to some other cheaper clips I had used that you need to spread the wires out and reassemble than could fall apart.

john from Lutz, FL on 11/18/2018

Pros: Value Came with provided screwdriver.
Cons: Small lock down screw.

Carlos from Banning, CA on 11/15/2018
Easy to use, but a little bulky. They add to the depth of the receiver in a stand. OK, once they're out of sight. They do the job.
Pros: Easy to use, they work well.
Cons: They look clunky

Wes from New York City, NY on 11/13/2018
These are the best around and easy to get set up. Makes it easy to shift things around, especially if you're in a tight spot. At times i have to pull out the receiver or cable box and disconnect speakers. With this the process is simple. Plus Crutchfield is so easy to deal with and provides a lot of service the customer.
Pros: Easy to connect wire to plug
Cons: None

Crutchfield banana plugs
Keith from Crete, IL on 11/11/2018
I like the fact that there are 2 screws to hold the wire in place. The included screwdriver was a nice bonus. At first I was a little upset because I thought the banana plugs were too big, but they do go in they are just snug and you have to push them in straight.

William from Mount Pleasant, SC on 7/29/2018
Great problem solve for hooking up speakers. The wire leads are held in place by two screws. The product includes a small screw driver for tightening the screws, which is very helpful. The plugs fit snuggly in the speaker posts.

jay from San Antonio, TX on 6/13/2018
These were really easy to attach to the speaker wire. Including the screwdriver was exceptionally helpful. Had a little trouble inserting the banana plugs into the speakers and receiver. That was because they are extremely snug! No more snaking wire through tiny holes in posts!!! Thank you Crutchfield!
Pros: Screwdriver included
Cons: None

Crutchfield customer from Massapequa Pk, NY on 5/27/2018
Work great , EZ to install The only thing I would change is the screw should be a Phillips head instead of a flat head. As I was tightening the screw I slipped a few times and stabbed my thumb & index finger. This would have been avoided with a Phillips head screw.

good connection
Robert from Sioux Falls, SD on 2/25/2018
Each of these banana plugs has two set screws - one on each side of the plug. You can't see this in the photos because they compress the wire in opposite directions. I stripped my wires so that the deeper set screws contacted the copper wire and the more shallow set screws compressed the insulation. This ensured good connections and firmly attached plugs. The set screws are small, but the 20-pack comes with an appropriately sized flathead screwdriver. I liked these plugs better than another brand with the same design but even smaller set screws and better than an alternate design that requires fanning out the copper wire and bending over a post instead of using set screws.
Pros: good connection
Cons: small set screws (but 20-pack comes with screwdriver)
