Although the photo and description indicate that connectors are included, that appears not to be the case. I ordered the wire and got no connectors. I contacted Amazon and they said they couldn't send a partial replacement. They had to send the whole deal (wire and connectors) then, once I got the package, I was to return the wire to them. Kind of a hassle.

I got the second shipment and guess what - no connectors! So I closed up the box, stuck on the return labels, and sent it back to Amazon. I told them not to bother sending me any thing more. I was done with this order.

Bottom line, the price should be lowered or at least the description and photo should be changed. Or there's a problem in shipping. Whatever the case, I didn't get what I thought I should.

The wire itself seems fine although both wires are the same color. The only way to tell one from the other is some very tiny, black plus symbols printed on one side every so often. Took me a while to realize they were there and I found them hard to see while I was wiring things up.

100 feet was just barely enough to wire up a 5-speaker surround system in a 12'x12' room. I could have used 105'.

This wire is usable ... but NOT flat ... actually quite bulky. It is also very fine stranded wire and NOT 16 gauge. That is likely why it is so cheap. I had some flexible, clear, 18/2 AR wire which was really very good for "thin wire". In this case you get what you get pay for ... cheap wire.

This is the second time that I have purchased this same item from Amazon.com. With each purchase, the eight banana pins was not included with the wire as shown in the picture and as outlined in the item description. Amazon is falsely advertising this item. As a result of the banana pins not being included as shown, it has cost me an additional expense to complete my project.

As rightly mentioned by others , the package did not come with any connectors. Either the picture is old and the vendor / amazon does not bother about it.

I kept my fingers crossed , if I could get lucky and get the connectors !! However the wire looks great and was nicely packaged. It arrived as per estimated date ( 2 days early ).

I am yet to connect it to my speakers , and will probably share some more light on the sound quality and wire quality at that time.

I got this here on Amazon for $11.95 (with free Prime shipping) and it is one one the best bargains I think I've ever scored! Don't even think about it, just get it while it lasts! As far as sound quality, I can't tell any difference between this and a pair of $300 PS Audio cables I replaced with this. Plus this wire looks good, is supple, almost impossible to tangle and well, I couldn't be happier!

The wire was fine but I did not receive the plugs that were supposed to come with it.

As noted by another customer I received the speaker cable which was just fine, but the connector pins were missing. I emailed Amazon and they sent a replacement order automatically. Same issue with the second order - wire only, no connector pins. I'm happy with the wire by itself - just be aware you'll need to order your own connector pins if you want them.

This wire is excellent. Very flexible, quality copper. If you need high performing speaker wire at a reasonable cost, you can't go wrong with this.

the speaker wire come very fast. However it doesn't come with the connector. I called the Amazon support, they send me another set of speaker wire, it still didn't come with the connector. You have not other choice either return the entire order or take the order without connector.
