Sound:
There are well documented problems with distortion while trying to rip vinyl with this. The electrical housing is very poor and you basically have to unplug everything in the house in order to keep from picking up electrical interference. I hooked it up to my stereo just to compare the sound with my Technics, and it doesn’t hold up. The needle provided is of poor quality.
Ease of Use:
easy to use, unless you want good sound.
Support:
Nobody from Ion will get back to me about the distortion problem, and if you go to their forum (http://forums.ion-audio.com/forumdisplay.php?f=3), they will not respond to this particular problem, even though Ion members are visible elsewhere.

Feature:
i didn’t really need the mic that is included but am not complaining. I wish the wheels were bigger though–I have to walk a lot with my gear and this thing does not like brick sidewalks. but it is really no worse than carrying a heavy wheeled suitcase.
Quality:
The knobs seem a little cheap but other than that it seems well made.
Value:
It seemed pricey at first but now that I have started using it i think it is worth it.
Desirability:
It looks gorgeous!! White and silver. Very cat-proof. I cannot own carpeted speakers with 2 cats so this is perfect.
Sound:
The sound is great! packs a punch for 15 watts! Good bass response. No onboard EQ, but i just do that through my applications.
Ease of Use:
The manual is 2 pages–it just looks thick because it is multilingual. You really don’t need anything more, just guidance for charging the battery.
Overall:
If I lost this item I would buy another one.

Feature:
More then meets the needs for playing the game. The build is extremely sold and though people complain about the hats wing nuts not being metal they are just nitpicking. The pads have a very nice bounce and the metal/plastic kick pedal is light years beyond the cheap plastic standard kick pedal. The set is made out of sturdy light weight aluminum tubing, heavy plastic (for the rims and parts of the kick pedal Please keep in mind that this is a game controller so drummers out there its not a set of V-Drums and they will never be so relax..
Quality:
Pretty damn good.. specially for a game peripheral
Value:
Buy it… totally worth it..
Sound:
Well they don’t make sound on their own so don’t know if this really applies.. But I will say that Rock Band 2 really takes advantage of these drums, the sounds soft or hard depending on the hits and in drum trainer mode the game can tell the difference between the hats/cymbals and the pads (so even though it’s green it will play a tom if you hit a pad or a crash if you hit the hats/cymbals)
Ease of Use:
Takes a bit of work to setup and get adjusted properly but once it’s done it’s easy to use.
Support:
No idea haven’t needed any support..
Overall:
It’s a great deal.. go for it..

Feature:
starter set is decent, mine didnt come with metal wing nuts (the plastic ones suck) the expansion is worth the money.
Quality:
The pads and the frame seem durable enough, the wingnuts, and the pedals not so much. The wing nuts are plastic and break. The pedals just can’t hold up to any abuse, they also look cheap.
Value:
Overall a good value, you simply can’t get anything with the sound or features for anywhere near the price. To get anything better you have to pay two or three times as much.
Desirability:
Not the flashiest drumset but the features and the price make it a very good gift and a good buy
Sound:
Pretty realistic sound for the price, but not a wide tunning range.
Ease of Use:
Prety much plug and play, the pad customization was a little odd at first
Overall:
Iv’e owned one for seven months and used it and abused it I still enjoy the sound quality the “feel” of the set and the sound options. The main flaw is the pedals they are pretty fragile.
