Good basic speaker cable — easy and reliable
This is good basic speaker wire for home theater or sound systems. Quality is solid and the length is long enough to be genuinely useful for most setups. One tip: do yourself a favor and use banana plugs — they make for a cleaner, more secure connection and make installation much easier. Great value cable that does the job well.

Gets the job done
Very sturdy with excellent sheathing protection/durability. Great value for the linear ft available. Paired with Amazon basic banana plugs for excellent speaker wire

Great wire, great price
There is something about this wire that makes me buy it again and again, and makes me feel like it’s a great value! it’s pure copper strands and it feels, looks solid and as good as anything I ever bought for the sound transmission The cover is thick, but the wire is still flexible. Looks professional and the white looks better than the old school copper look. Getting the protective sleeve off is a bit of challenge but for me it’s worth it. Have a utility knife, wire strippers and if you have weaker hands, a pair of pliers or something to grip it with to remove from covering wires. It’s worth the effort to me as the results feel solid I use this with my higher end vintage M&K, Sansui, Pioneer, Timeframe, and other amps, speakers and to my ears, it delivers simple, clean sound at a great price. Don’t buy the hype, buy good wire and call it a day. This 14 gauge even works well with clip posts like on my Sansui 9090DB. 👌 Only thing I would do different, buy the 200ft if you are hooking up Atmos or have multiple equipment. This is my third 100ft in as many months, Lol

Solid Value 14 AWG Cable, but Jacket Design Could Be Improved
This Amazon Basics 14-gauge speaker wire gets the job done at a very competitive price—under $0.15 per foot for the 200-foot spool. I’m using it for my surround sound speakers, and electrically, it performs just fine for that purpose. Whether it’s truly 99.9% oxygen-free copper (OFC) is hard to verify, but for my needs, it works well. One major downside is the non-round cable jacket design. There are no internal fillers to keep the wire shape consistent, which makes stripping the outer jacket more difficult than it needs to be. Because of the uneven shape, it’s easy to accidentally nick or cut the insulation on the conductors inside while trying to strip it. Including fillers or a more robust outer jacket would make this product significantly better. On the plus side, the cable has printed numbering along one conductor, which makes it easier to measure and cut lengths accurately—definitely a helpful touch for multi-speaker setups. In short, this is a cost-effective solution for basic speaker wiring, but the cable construction could be improved to make handling and prep easier. Still, for the price, it’s hard to complain too much.

Very good cable
This wire seems to be very good quality. The outer sheath/coat is not thick and bulky yet it is strong. I like it. I did not measure it with a caliper, but the AWG size seems correct. The cable is quite flexible. I found the deal, the cost per foot to be better than any other similar cables I had bought. Before I purchased it, I read that it was difficult to strip the red and black insulation from the copper strands but now that I have it, I find no such issue. It strips normal. I would buy this again.

The best deal on 12 gauge high quality wire
Why would anyone even look beyond this Amazon Basics 12 gauge stereo wire. It's priced to sell and of high quality. It works perfectly for my surround sound and looks nice and clean with the white plastic cover over the internal wires. Highly recommened

Stop Searching and BUY!
Great quality wire at an unbeatable price. Every other 200' spool is $70+ at the time of this review. It was easy to work with. It is undoubtably pure copper, never saw any aluminum while working with it and isn't brittle like CCA. The sheathing is durable and made running it through the wall easy!

Exceeded my expectations in every way.
Great quality solid copper cables. None of the local stores, such as Walmart or Autozone had Any real copper cables at all. All offerings were CCA dual-conductor cables that are essentially 95% aluminum. 2/3rd of available options had Packaging that didn't openly disclose this fact. It took time researching each "high-performance", or "professional grade" audio cables they had in stock. Perhaps, there's no regulations that require manufacturers to to make any reference clarifying that the product isn't pure copper. It was surprisingly misleading. Amazon Basic branded cables are as good as the best cables you cables you can buy elsewhere online. 14 Gauge us about as thick as you could reasonably use at home without it becoming a major annoying mess. Great price as well. Made in Vietnam - is just the icing on the cake. Ordered the "used" option. Cables were brand new, the coil was slightly banged up in shipping and dusty, thus the 15% discount

This speaker wire has surprised me it is the best value for money and best quality. The jacket is pretty stiff and pretty hard in colour white so you can run it through conduit under the wall or on under the floor. I ordered the 12 awg and trust me these wires are amazing to very thick and hard time putting through the Denon binding post but quality is amazing. I also have the C&E 14awg ones for 4k for surround speakers as 12 awg were not available and hard to wire across the conduit these ones beat the C&E any day. Setup- Q acoustic 3050i floor standers, q acoustic 3090 centre and sem for surround 3010 and monitor audio sub powered by Denon x 2700h with the LG IPS 4K 65 inch panel

My system includes Yamaha av receiver, wharfedale diamond 220 speakers, Polk audio psw125 subwoofer, Polk audio center channel speaker and pioneer surround speakers. My listening area is around 70 Sq. Mts. I like to listen to high resolution audio and watch movies. Pros: It is built to last, a sturdy chord. Pure oxygen free copper Looks good, add to the overall appearance of the set up. Delivery was spot on At this price it is a complete value for money. Sound quality : I haven't felt any significant difference when I heard music for the first time but after listening to music for couple of hours there is improvement in sound quality. There is significant reduction in distortion. Overall : it is a awesome product, looks good, feels good and will definitely make improvement in sound quality in any setup.
