Something different
I like the sound, the looks, and it's capable for substituting a normal size hi-hat.
But only if it's really an emergency, because it sounds much higher than a conventional size.
The situations in needing a baby hi-hat like this are variable: portability, shortage of space, recording, etc.
It's direct, trashy, fast and sharp
Cuts through anything as well.
Compared to a standard size hi-hat one will also shave more than a kilo weight off from the cymbal bag taking this to rehearsals
I got this for a minimal acoustic set up.
And with a hi-hat added, it allows me to clamp all kinds of goodies from the hi-hat stand alongside the small diameter hi-hat without too much trouble.
Will this be enough for a full gig? Probably not, but if there's no other option and the sounds engineer knows his job, the public won't even notice.
After half a year feeling this hi-hat, I find it a real stick eater b.t.w., so that might be something to consider when choosing sticks.

Nice and crisp.
These H/Hs are great, loud, crispy and sharp. They have a high pitch as you would expect in this size but they cut through the mix pretty well. Only thing, they are wood eaters but if you play mindfully and with care is something you can workaround.
If you are looking for experimenting with smaller hats I would definitely recommend these.

Funky little hats
Having been playing a many number of years (25 now!) i always gravitated towards smaller but heavier cymbals generally, for feel and sound but also transport as i don't drive...after 10 years of playing pro i went into semi-retirement and started experimenting with different sizes and sounds, and started favouring 10" hats but i found these after looking around, they cut great especially mounted bottom on top, my gigging set up now has no cymbals bigger than 12" with 8" or 10" hats...(i use 14" crashes in my studio) these make great x-hats or main hats...i love em.
