    These are a definite improvement over the 12 ga Monoprice speaker wire I had. You can definitely hear an improvement throughout the frequency range. The locking banana plugs were a nice upgrade over the standard banana plugs. Dont let others tell you that you wont be able to hear the difference. That is simply not true. I would definitely recommend these as a nice inexpensive upgrade to invest in your hifi system.

    If cables do make a difference - and I have every reason to believe that they do - it would seem to make sense that the best cable one could get would do the following 1. Measure well - on criteria that matter, 2. Be priced reasonably, and 3. Sound good in your system. So far, that’s these. To my ears, with my system, at least, they’re highly recommended. I’ve tried others, many less expensive, many more expensive… But to me, these just work. So if, like me, you’d rather enjoy life than compare cables, you can get off the hamster wheel about cables, and just enjoy your music.

    A lot of home theater guys I know swear by Blue Jeans cables. I decided to purchase one cable to try on my Klipsch RP-504C center channel speaker. Once I installed the speaker cable I immediately noticed a brighter, cleaner and slightly louder sound from these 6ft 10 awg banana plug cables. I went from a 6 ft 12 awg media bridge cable (still a decent cable) to these, and the difference is there. Now, the only thing that may sway people away from these cables is the locking function. Honestly, this was not a problem at all. Please be advised that when you hook these into the terminals on the back of the speaker, the banana plugs fit loosely inside. I would strongly recommend that when you are turning the silver base to tighten the cable up, to snugly push in each terminal as you do this so that you make strong contact. Once this was done, everything else was a breeze and the sound, and quality is there. I would highly recommend these cables to anyone that wants to improve their sound.

    Im very satisfied with this bespoke speaker cable. I wont make claims for its sonics other than to say it is allowing our Luxman amp and Meadowlark Audio Herons to sing every bit as beautifully as they should. I will praise its quality construction and smart locking system, which are visibly and tactilely a step up from the commodity norm. And Ill add a sentimental reason for going with Blue Jeans Cable. Like a lot of observers, I was impressed several years ago by how its owner stood up for his rights (and by extension, everyone elses) when a certain big company was trying to bully small fry in the industry on baseless patent and trademark claims. I could have ordered any companys cable. When it came time to get something better, I remembered the values of this proud independent American manufacturer.

    There is untold amount of online debate about cables. But Ive heard the benefit of improved interconnects before, and now thanks to these Blue Jeans cables Ive heard a more open sound from my Sonos Faber speakers. Great value.

    I dont have to turn my amp up as high with these cables. Im startled by the difference. It is due to these being 10 gauge and thus having lower resistance, the most important factor in speaker cables. Is the sound better? Maybe, its definitely not worse. Factoring in the placebo possibility lets say tie goes to the runner. These were cheaper than the cables they replaced. The other ones looked better but, werent. Im very satisfied.

    excellent Belden quality cable. Excellent build with sonic welding to fuse the banana plugs to the cable. True audiophile product for very little money compared to other audiophile products.

    I replaced my 15+ year old Linn speaker cable with these and they are simply fantastic. Build quality is high and the locking banana plugs are effective and appreciated. The sound quality is excellent - open, no coloration and transparent. Highly recommended, they are a fantastic value. My equipment is NAD M10 driving PSB Synchrony One Tower loudspeaker. Music source is Qobuz high resolution files streamed via Roon.

BJC Ten White speaker cable with banana plugsBJC Ten White speaker cable with banana plugs

BJC Speaker Cable, made with our Ten White cable stock and Welded Locking Banana Plugs

At Blue Jeans Cable, we were never happy with the conventional methods of attaching speaker cable to banana plugs. Setscrews are fine, but lack pull strength; compression connections are never as strong as they look like they"re going to be; and solder, on large high-mass connectors, is slow going and tends to cause a lot of insulation meltback. Our solution: ultrasonic welding. Our Sonobond Ultrasonic Welder (made in West Chester, PA) welds the copper wire to the brass banana plug body without the excessive heat associated with conventional welding, fusing copper to brass in a tight, strong, low-resistance, reliable connection.

Our Ten White speaker cable stock is a 10 AWG cable with each conductor made up of 65 strands of bare copper for high flexibility.

The Plug

This is our locking banana plug, disassembled. Notice anything? There"s no attachment mechanism for the wire -- no set screws, no clamps, nothing but a channel for the wire to sit in.

The Welder

This is one of our Sonobond Ultrasonic Welders, in our Seattle shop. Unlike heat-based methods of welding, it drives a large amount of ultrasonic vibration into the junction between the wire and the plug, fusing them together.

The Weld

Here"s a plug body after welding. The surface structure of the wire breaks down during welding, allowing dissimilar metals to fuse. The resulting weld has extremely low contact resistance and high pull strength.

The "Locking" Feature

The outer collar of the banana plug is threaded. It should inserted into the binding post with the collar "backed off" from the plug end (top image). When the plug is in the binding post, simply turn the locking collar clockwise (bottom image) and it pushes a central pin forward, expanding the splines for a firm engagement in the post.
