GEARit12AWG Speaker Cable Wire with Gold-Plated Banana Tip Plugs (10 Feet) in-Wall CL2 Rated, Heavy Duty Braided, 99.9% Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) - Black, 10ft

I’ll start by saying I by no means am an audiophile, but a friend of mine who is suggested I go from the bare wire cables to quality ones with banana clips.I chose these due to the high quality appearance and the white cables match the decor I am looking for. I am truly amazed at the amount of noticeable difference these make.I am using these with the Kanto Yumi connected to LG Oled via Optical cable and they blow any sound bar out of the water and I have not bought the Sub8 yet..WOWI would highly recommend these cables to anyone who are currently on bare speaker wire it’s such a huge upgrade at a minimal cost.

Pros:Heavy 12AWG wire, suitable for all home audio connectionsSleek design, with a clean white jacketRubber tube design that beautifies the banana plug termination on the wireModified Banana Plug style that provides a very secure connectionCons:Some may find the plugs a bit too tight to insert/remove from binding postsL/R marking is done with Red/White colored brand logo printed on the banana plug connector vs a standard red/white band or marking.Right out of the box, the aesthetic is stunning. The white jacketed wires lend a clean, modern look to my audio setup, which lives in the living room. That means the wife needs to approve all upgrades/changes to fit in with the 'decor'. These passed that test no problem compared to the industrial looking wires I was using before!The thick wire gauge ensures durability and optimal performance. The audio quality is crystal clear and transparent, no signs of interference here! I've never quite seen banana connectors of this style, they have a cylindrical connector with a sort of spring loaded pin on one side to lock into the binding post. It is not a typical banana plug, but it fit securely, and honestly I think I prefer this connector type. Does not have that typical banana plug wobble.I also love the fact his comes in long lengths! I needed a 25ft run for one of my rear surrounds, and finding a cable at this quality that was so affordable is great.Overall, these speaker wires are not only functional but also enhance the visual appeal of my space. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their audio experience!

Well priced and sturdily built, these speaker cables offer a nice clean look to my stereo system. I've bought them before and have no complaints. This cable was bought to replace an older GEARit cable that was too short after a re-model.Technically, my system components are "high end" and the system sounds good overall. Even though there are those who claim to hear a difference between speaker cables, I'm not sure I could hear the difference between these speaker cables and other cables costing ten times more.

These GearIT speaker cables are very sturdy and well-built, with a braided jacket and cable "pants" to finish them off. A beautiful speaker cable, much better looking (and much cheaper) than my Audioquest and QED speaker cables. HOWEVER...I really don't know about these plugs. They are listed as BANANA plugs, but they aren't; and they're not BFA plugs either. They look like a new type, maybe a Chinese invention. They did NOT look as though they would make as solid an electrical connection as a conventional banana plug OR a BFA plug. I have BFAs on both my Audioquest and QED cables and personally prefer regular bananas.From other reviews here on Amazon, I wasn't about to take any chances on a plug breaking off in a socket. These cables will be used in a bedroom system and will be difficult to access. I don't have the time or the patience to disassemble equipment to push out a broken plug from the inside. Rather than take the chance, I immediately removed the questionable plugs and replaced them with Sewell Silverback Banana Plugs (available on Amazon) that I already had on hand. The Silverback Banana Plugs aren't perfect either, as they are not insulated (neither are the GearIT) and should be covered with heat shrink tubing (also available on Amazon), but I've used the Silverbacks for several years without any problems.The knurled body is interchangeable between the GearIT and the Sewell plugs, as are the set screws (in case you lose one. Or several.). I disassembled one end of one cable and slipped two scrap pieces of 1/2 inch red heat shrink onto the cable pants to mark each end of the right channel and reassembled the end. After rechecking polarity with a multimeter, a final check to be sure the set screws are as tight as I could get them, and the knurled body is as tight on the plugs as I could get them, I used 2 inch lengths of 3/8 inch red and black heat shrink tubing and a heat gun to finish them off. The pieces of heat shrink on the plugs insulate and make it easier to see hot and neutral in dim light. See photo.UPDATE: Still loving these cables, going from a Denon AVR-S570BT to a pair of ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 bookshelf speakers. This is prolly overkill for a bedroom system but it makes watching TV a bit more involving. I really do wish they sold them in pairs though.

I was a little concerned after reading some of the negative reviews about the cable connectors breaking or falling out, but after installing them, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cables, so my concerns were dismissed. Not only are the cables nice looking, they are well made even though they are moderately priced. I had no issues plugging them into my speakers or amplifier. I would buy them again.

Build quality appears to be of a high-level. Clear, crisp, and distortion free audio. May not necessarily seat 100%.(see photos) This depends on the device and not necessarily indicative of a design flaw of the speaker wires themselves. They seated about 75% into my Klipsch R-15M speakers, but only about half way into my Audioengine N22 desktop amplifier. I appreciate the simplicity of the banana plugs versus having to monkey with the terminal screw post. Simply plug it in and you’re done in one step. Great price for a product of this level.

These cables are solid, banana plugs fit well, and they are decent looking. IMHO these cables are worth the price.
