    Sturdy, well built cables with nice thick insulating jackets. My cable runs directly next to a wifi extender and Ethernet cable, and there’s zero interference noise. I’ve never had any issues with any Blue Jeans products.

    Great cable for entering the world of hi-if. I went from using bare connection ‘lamp cord’ for the last 25 years on some old Realistic Minimus/Optimus speakers to these on Elac B6s and and was summarily impressed with the weight of the banana plug connectors and the ‘heft’ of the cable itself. The white insulation is a nice look - the icing on the cake. Do they sound appreciably better? Who knows - my system now connects with ease and it sounds awesome. I can hear things in my old CDs I never heard before. They feel and work like they are built to last forever. What else can I say?

    Great step up from basic speaker cable. Love the locking plugs, and love that they are welded. I bought one long 40 foot cable, and cut it in half. I use the locking plugs at the speaker terminals, and bare wire at the amp. These are rated so you can safely pull them through walls. Simple, basic, high quality cables.

    This is an excellent speaker cable for a very good price. These are quality! I have purchased other Blue Jeans Cable products and these cables do not disappoint.

    I just replaced some monster speaker cable with these cables and I would highly recommend these cables. I love the permanently installed banana connectors and how the connectors spread out to ensure a solid connection and will not pop out if they get tugged while youre messing with a different device or wire in the same area.

    Great cable, Great price for a high quality cable. with out all the snake oil claims irreverent claims made by other name brand cable makes that are overpriced for no reason which will remain names although we and they know who they are. No claims that it prevents frequency skinning effect which of course does not in the audible range of frequencies or that silver plated copper makes a difference because the change in capacitance it offers per foot is so infinitesimally small that it could not make any contribution in any realistic length that could ever be used for home or pro theater use. Blue jean cables are extremely high quality at a great price Beware though when ordering this cable though as amazon seems to have a lot of mislabeled stock and I keep getting the wrong product when I order now. My first two orders came I received the right cable. When I order the 8ft BJC Ten White speaker cable with locking bananas now I keep getting 8ft Canare 4S11 Speaker with Bi-wire configuration termination. Dont get me wrong Canare 4S11 good cable too especially if you have get EM field interference where you are running your speaker cable or you want a cable that tends to produce brighter mids and his. In my case my amps already are brighter towards mids and his i want a cable the offers more flat or even mids and highs and enhances more towards the bass which is why I chose BJC Ten White (Belden 5000UE).

    These are well made and great sounding speaker cables for the price. They may not compare to cables costing well into three or four figures, but they provide clean, transparent sound. I have two sets, one hooked up to totem hawks and a Hegel 160 integrated amp and the other to Totem Model One monitors and a Moon audio 220i integrated amp in a smaller office. Sound great with both set ups.

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.
