sounds great
I love these pickups. A bit of a hybrid between active and passive, Easy to install. Hum free. I did have some issues with the output distorting my amp, but adjusting the pickup height and not using an extreme string gauge worked like a charm. Very happy with this easy to install, great sounding, 100% humfree set.

Active...but not
They should sound sterile, as actives usually go. But as a matter of fact, they are very 'live', can be used both in hi gains and cleans, overall very versatile. Though, seem to feel better in hard rock situations, definitely would recommend

Nice sound
Sound warm and fat. The assembly kit is very simple without many soldering. It looks very well mounted on the guitar, I bought the zebra. I am very pleased and recommend

Neck Pickup great, bridge not so much
Loved the neck pickup on this set but the bridge pickup has a weird mid range resonance that just sounded odd.
I know EMG want to pitch these as passive sounding pickups but EMG actives are a one trick pony IMHO. You may as well just go for the 81 / 85 and be done with it, YMMV.

Works like a charm
If you are used to EMG?s. These ones tends to sound a bit more like passives, with all the perks of active pups.
