This is a hard one. For what they cost, my first reaction was F%^& O##!!! But...... I have a pair of these for a while now, I use them for re-amping the line signal from my synthesizers to be able to send it through guitar effect pedals. The units are well made, sound quality is good and I think you can't go wrong if you want to re-amp something. For what they are and how they are built, the price is good, but honestly for what they do, the price is quite high. I don't regret buying them, they feel rightand will probably last a long time. But if you are on a budget, you might want to check your priorities first :-)
