Crutchfield Banana Connectors
Adam from Warsaw, IN on 6/16/2022
Great Banana plugs. Very nice quality and easy to assemble. I especially like that there are 2 set screws to clamp on the wire. Makes for a secure connection and the set screws don't strip easily, like on cheaper banana plugs.

John from Brunswick, GA on 5/8/2022
I have some old equipment and newer stuff. The banana connectors worked on the newer equipment but not on my speakers (Vega bookshelf, JBL Studio Monitor, Bose 301, Heil AMT 1) or Yamaha R S 202 receiver. The male clip was way too large. Those that fit in my Yamaha S501 integrated amp work great. Suggest that Crutchfield offer different size options. It was my fault for not doing more research. However, those that I did install work beautifully.
Pros: Easy to install
Cons: Limited size options unless I just missed it on the site.

Bud from Pottstown, PA on 3/16/2022
Sturdy composition and snug fit into ports make for a solid connection. My only recommendation would be to do away with the slotted set-screws and instead use phillips-head or torx set screws. When you tighten the slotted set screws, the screwdriver has a tendency to slip out of the slot and does so frequently. Phillips-head or torx set screws would eliminate this frustrating annoyance.
Pros: Solid build and connections.
Cons: Set screw tightening is very annoying.

Ben from Virginia Beach, VA on 3/14/2022
It was an easy process to get them set up and screwed together with a couple notes. 1) I have Crutchfield flat speaker wire from a previous purchase and couldn't afford to replace it all. Does the flat wire work with these? Yes, but with a small modification. You have to cut the sheath to make them fit into the barrel part, but it was and easy fix and there wasn't any exposed wire. 2) The were plugs too big for my Yamaha receiver and my Polk speakers, but if you lightly pinch the connectors with needle nose and they were able to slide right in with a satisfying click. 3) The two pieces don't want to stay screwed together if you tried to hand tighten and you have to be careful not to twist the speaker wire. Again the fix was easy as you just need to grip the plug side at the base with needle nose and tighten the barrel down. These are the only Banana Connectors I have purchased and would do it again and overall the experience was positive.
Pros:
Cons: Come unscrewed, fit is tight

Steve from Covington, LA on 2/16/2022
The plugs were too large for the receiver connector holes. I contacted a Crutchfield Technical Expert and he advised me to just lightly crimp down on the ends until they fit. Did that and all 20 plugs are installed.
Pros: The 2 set screws insure a good and secure fit.
Cons: Plugs come too large for the receiver/speaker connector openings.

Wire hook-up made easy and confident ??.
Barry from Wheatfield, IN on 2/10/2022
A must have for home audio speakers. Keeps the worry of small strands of wire cross over from negative to positive shorting sound quality or worse. Well worth the small investment to save audio equipment trouble. Easy to use and setup and then it's plug and play worry free. Excellent choice, much easier than standard wire hook up. Wouldn't hook up a audio speaker with out it.
Pros: Easy-to-use
Cons: Be careful with screwdriver slippage. Take your time.

YES, YOU NEED SOME BANANA PLUGS
Randy from Argyle, TX on 1/30/2022
So nice not to have to try and fit the wire on the terminals on the receiver or the speakers just plug them in and get back to playing some killer tunes. If they seem a little too tight just push them a little harder and they will go right in so happy with them should have done this years ago :)
Pros: You dont have to get on the ground and try to put the wire on your receiver or speakers so nice to just plug in the Banana Plugs
Cons: Should have done this years ago

Super easy and very secure
Crutchfield customer from Westlake, OH on 12/28/2021
This is my first experience with banana plugs, so I can't compare these to other plugs in terms of functionality. But I can see these things are awesome to work with. I like that there are 2 set screws so the wire is super secure. And I also like that the sheath simply slips right over the plug and screws on after you've already done the wiring and tightened the screws. Once you do a couple of these, it is literally a minute for each plug. I don't know why I've waited so long to use these! Well worth the nominal price to avoid the hassle of trying to screw the bare wire into the back of the receiver.

Steve from Romeoville, IL on 10/12/2021
Very nice connectors. So far, they work as expected. For me, it is hard to tell if the speaker wire is in properly. But that could be said about any banana connectors. I wonder how long the red and black stripe / lettering will last.
Pros: Red and black colored stripes / lettering on the connectors. No pieces are plastic.

Too fat for my Denon, but I managed to work around it
Crutchfield customer from Macungie, PA on 9/2/2021
Does not fit my Denon AVR-2112CI. They're too fat. They have notches cut out of them, which I didn't notice in the pictures until looking after the fact, so there is some give, just not enough for me when manually pushing them in. A pair of pliers later, I did manage to squeeze the ends together enough that they did fit and now work OK without any issues. I really enjoy how you hook the bare speaker wire up to them, which is why I bought them. I suppose I would recommend them, just know that they might be too fat for the metal contact to fit in your receiver speaker connectors but you may be able to squeeze them skinny enough to fit.

David from New Baltimore, MI on 6/29/2021
Easy to Install. Speaker wire seems to stay in place well with the two set screws. Snug fit pushing the banana plugs into my Dennon AVR, but no real problem. Would rather have them that way then being loose. Color coded red and black covers. I watched the instructional video on Crutchfield's site before assembling and it helped.
Pros: Red and black color coded Easy to install Each pair came in their own bag.
Cons: None so far.

Crutchfield customer from Northville, MI on 5/12/2021
These banana plugs have a very solid construction and the two screws hold the wire very securely. Great quality for the price point. One suggestion I would have for end users is to slightly pinch the sides of the plug to make it easier to insert into a jack. I found it took quite a bit of force (too much) to plug it in the first time.

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.

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.

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.

Crutchfield customer from Sun City West, AZ on 3/27/2020
There are two screws in each connector to tightly captivate even larger gauge speaker wire. I like how the outer sleeve screws on over the connector after you install the connector on the wire.
Pros: These high quality connectors are easy to install even on 14 gauge wire and a screwdriver is included in the package.
Cons:

Crutchfield Banana Connectors For use with 16-gauge or 14-gauge speaker wire (20-pk.) This is what i purchased. I am so glad i did. These are the best i have ever purchased. If you simply want the best plugs. I give these a 10. Thank you Crutchfield for making a nice product.
Pros: Gold connections and duel set screws
Cons: not a con just fyi. The connection to the reciever is tight but thats the way it is suppose to be for a good connection.

Crutchfield Banana Connectors
Crutchfield customer from Boise, ID on 12/3/2019
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.

Well built / Good quality
Crutchfield customer from Ashland, VA on 8/31/2019
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.
Pros: Easy to install
Cons: None (unless you wait decades like me)

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!

Crutchfield customer from Mayaguez, PR on 4/11/2019
My first jump into using Crutchfield Banana Plugs and I'll never go back. It makes it so much easier to plug and unplug speakers from my receiver, especially since I have difficult access to the back and no more worries of the "Protector" signall flashing on the receiver from bad speakers connections. I really like them and should have used them sooner.

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!

I never thought for a second Id submit a review for a lowly banana plug. Ive read and heard many reviews about banana plugs and heard many warnings about the Setscrew style. I had zero issues with these not fitting tight or set screws fallingthrough. They fit my 16 guage (folded in half) beautifully, and the plug was Very snug in the binding post. BTW the kit if 20 comes with a quality mini screwdriver. I highly recommend these

Crutchfield customer from Arlington, VA on 1/30/2019
Plastic. The tips were really spread out and would not fit into the speaker Jack terminals without extreme force. I had to go back to an old Parts receiver to force them in so they would fit in my main system. It's a shame because I really like Crutchfield and have been a customer since the early 90s.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: quality control
