Not bad at all but not my thing
As a professional session guitarist picks are very important to me. I ordered these to give them a little try and they were interesting but not my thing!
I currently use the Ultex 2.0 sharps. These arn't far off these but have a softer feel to them. The sharps are more shaped as well and have smoother edges and these are a little bit... flat.
When you pick square onto the string they sound quite clacky and you get some good attack - it just isn't that practical to pick like this all of the time. I tend to vary my picking style depending on the type of music that i am playing. Sometimes i pick sideways and sometimes i use hybrid. You can use these for either of these styles of playing and it sounds fine, just isn't my thing.
These may be a nice alternative for followers of the Jazz 3. They have the Jazz 3 size and shape and feel familiar but sound different as they are stiffer than the Jazz 3 reds.
They look really cool! Because they are bright purple you can easily find them when you drop them which can save you some money in the long run.
The material is very hard so they won't wear down quickly with lots of use. If you are like me i like to make my picks last for ages and these certainly last a long time before they went blunt and dull.
They aren't too expensive as far as picks go so stock up if you like these
Pros:
Look cool
Sound good for certain styles
Familiar Jazz 3 feel
Built well and durable
Good value for money
Cons:
Down to taste whether you like these or not
Flat shape means they are a bit cumbersome
These are good sounding picks, it's subjective to whether you like them or not!

Good overall choice
Standard pick type with the extra sharp 'beak' which might not be everyone's first choice - I use them mostly while playing bass, definitely helps with the attack. good grip and they're pretty solid, 'Dunlop standard' I'd say.

Black paint peels off and my fingers are black. :) But I like shape, thickness and color, so probably will buy again.

Love these
I have been a long time user of the Tortex before I decided to give these a try and now these are my new preferred picks. I really love the Jazz tip they put on it and its great for fast runs and single notes. If you like Tortex picks and like your tip to be sharp then I can recommend checking these out.

Suitable for jazz, less for rock
due to the sharper point, these are better for jazz, less for rock in my opinion. For rock, the standard Tortex are ideal
