(see rating details)
Got rid of em after a month of use....gave em to a local record dealer to use on his "in house" tables. I went back to Shure M44-7's and haven't looked back
Sound
Not very good sound pick up. I had switched to these after using Shure M44-7's and holy crap these don't even compare.
Features
It's a needle, I guess the all in one feature is ok
Ease of Use
Plug it in a go
Quality
They're ok, I expected a little more form a signature series scratch needle.The tracking force for these is tough to find...they skip easily....I wouldn't suggest these for turntablists
Value
I mean it's a pretty good price.
The Wow Factor
It looks cool...but CC's have been known for difficult set up's.
