WJSTN-018 Braided Wire Speaker Banana Plugs to 4mm Female Banana Jack Converter, Soft Whip Banana Plug Adapter Cable,4- Packs

Good quality. Works well. Nothing special.

In connecting my audio equipment, I needed these for the wire connection end. Good Product.

Update April 2023 - I ordered a couple more pairs and noticed the new ones have fixed the issues of the old ones. There is no longer a fatter part at the tip (pinched/pressed) and the gauge is slightly smaller. See the new picture. New on left, old ones on right. Be advised I did attempt to squish the fat tip on the older ones, so I don't have an example of 'out-of-the-box' version.Upping rating to 4 stars. If they are all now like the new ones, I'd give them 5 stars!These adapters are very well made. But the pin part is 12 AWG with a tip that is fatter and won't fit thru the 10 AWG hole on my strippers. Cutting the tip off helps but it may fray. It wouldn't fit into the speaker spring terminals of my 1970s Marantz, or other amps of that vintage. It also wouldn't fit into the spring clips on either of the speakers I have that use spring type connectors. In short, these adapters wouldn't work with anything I have that employs spring clip/terminals. I suspect the holes on the spring clips from any vintage audio gear will be too small.As a caution: the female banana part is well shielded. But I realized some my speaker wire banana plugs (the male part) are not shielded on the part you hold onto. If I could have gotten these adapters to fit into my Marantz, the gangling ends would touch each other. The spring clips on the Marantz are close together. This would mostly likely have shorted the speaker terminals together. Not good! So if you can use these, be sure to use insulated male banana plugs or some other method to keep our speaker wires from shorting together.

I have a couple of vintage integrated amps and speakers with the wire connectors you push the button and slide the wires in. These are a pain to move as the connectors are at an awkward angle. The pin connectors are awful. These have flexible wires so that they are easy to get in and stay there. Then I just use banana plug speaker cables which are easy to connect and disconnect. I also don't have to have a bunch of different cables depending on the amps and speakers I want to listen to.

I have an AV cabinet which makes for a tight fit - so tight, in fact, that speaker cables terminating with banana plugs caused my receiver to stick out over the edge of the shelf, which was pretty unsightly.These little extension cables are just long enough to make out it of the hole in back of the shelf and connect to the bulkier banana plugs behind the back wall of the cabinet, so the problem is now solved, and at a very reasonable price.

The wire at the end broke off

Great interface, used with really heavy speaker wires with factory connected banana plugs that will NOT fit into my JBL 4411 terminals (or any of those series that have old-school "push button" style speaker terminals). I noted after a weekend that the cables come out, and not wanting to "crimp" these had me adding a strip of gaffers tape (like duct tape, but not as messy).

I ordered these to allow me to use my banana jack terminated speaker cables with a vintage Marantz receiver that uses spring loaded push in style speaker connections. Problem solved using these adaptors.
