Good but fragile
Despite quite digging the sound, I was really disappointed with the quality of those cymbals. I wanted to experiment with china cymbals a little bit and, encouraged by other reviews, I decided to pull the trigger on it. Unfortunately, each of the cymbals I received had some sort of flaw. One time it was a tiny chip at the edge or, then a small dent towards the center of the cymbal. Despite replacing the cymbal three times, none of them was was quite right. Finally, I gave up replacing, but decided to give it a try anyway.
I was pleasantly surprised with the sound of the china. It's this sort extremally enjoyable sand-like crash with fast decay that metal drummers love so much. Despite not being very loud, it cuts through the mix very well and is immensely satisfying to hit together with the snare. I would love, however, if it were more long lasting. The first one of the cymbals I bought lasted about 2-3 months, the second one has been going on for about a year, but now the crack at the edge and in the center has widened a lot and soon the cymbal will give up a ghost.
If you're okay with treating these chinas as expendable ones, as they simply won't last for a long time, or if you just want to experiment with a cheap china, you can give them a try, as the sound is really great. If you, however, are looking for something more durable, steer clear of it.

Good light and thin chinese china
A surprisingly good cheap china, very thin for a chinese cymbal, gives a nice light wash, not too agressive.
Not exactly suited for metal, but as a china that blends inside the music, it's of good quality.
Overall, a good cymbal, but if you want something heavier, buy a larger china, or even the thomann Wuhan chinas, had one of those, they're very thick compared to these millenium.

A Hidden Gem
Bought this on a whim, completely not regretting it.
It's great for use in metal, very bright, cuts through well, but is SUPER LOUD.
The cymbal itself doesn't feel massively solid, and when I took it out of the box I didn't think it would be much and it would break instantly. I've been hammering away on it pretty hard for 2 weeks and it's working like a champ.
My criticisms would be that the decay could be shorter, but that is highly subjective.
If you want a bright trashy loud china that works great in metal, then try this!

Amazing!!!!
I brought this cymbal to complete my Millenium MX120 kit, it fits perfectly in with the drum kit. It's very loud and has perfect tone for this type of cymbal, the sound this cymbal produces could easily release stress (ummm), in all this is an amazing product at a great price highly recommend along with all Millenium products.
Just amazing.

Pleasantly surprised!
Bought this initially as an addition for my usual practice setup. But after playing it and finding the sound to be scarily close to exactly what I was looking for, I decided there's nothing I'd want to do without having this at my right hand side. Its clear, quick and has that unmistakable trashy China sound. Sounds fantastic for riding as well the single note. Definitely recommend this!!

Cheap, but not bad!
I was hesitant about getting this, thinking it may not be that great for the money you pay. Happily I was very wrong and this is one of the nicest china's I've ever used! Stacks great too with a 10" splash.
The hammering on the edges is quite uneven though looks dented but it is just the hammering, it's a trashy sound though so this doesn't matter really.

great china cymbal
I had the Millenium B20 cymbal set already, but I wanted a china, as well. The 16 inch was a great choice, nice and old fashioned sound what you hear on many metal albums. A little difficult to get a stable position on a cymbal stand, due its shape. Last but not least, its looking great, as well:) I am really happy with it. unbelievable price/quality sound ratio!
