Feature:
The set came with everthing, 4 control pots, mounting screws, quick connect cables, input jack, battery snap, all HEAVY duty components that I was confident would last a LONG time!

Quality:
Seymour Duncan USA, 10, 10, 10, 10!!!

Value:
Less expensive than EMGs and a million times better! I'm happy with the price for the set!

Desirability:
Nothing beats that flat black pickup cover!

Sound:
Amazing! Everything I ever wished the EMG 81 is in the blackout, no sterile/harsh highs, super tight responses all around. You really just have to play it to see!!!

Ease of Use:
Not any harder to install or setup than any other pickup.

Support:
Never had a need to contact support on any of their products, so that's an automatic 10 since they are made THAT well!

Overall:
The AHB-1 set is the tone I have been looking for for years!!! I have found MY pickups!!!

Sound:
They are just amazing if you are a fan of active pickups ditch the old wardog EMGs and grabs these hot rods. Amazing tone with gain but even more impressive I've played Pat Metheny through these and it sounded amazing just a great clean tone as well. Very powerful and expressive I play A range of things for Joe Pass to Guthrie Govan to Dimebag and it all sounds good with these Seymour Duncan has done it again they now are on top of the active market. Didn't write anything anywhere else cause simply put these are the best look no further
