Just Perfect for me
Pickups are a matter of taste, everybody knows that.
If you can, listen to them. Youtube, a friend who has them installed...
I'm giving this product a 10/10.
I don't like active pickups. There's nothing wrong with them, but I prefer the passive ones.
I bought this PUP together with her sis on the bridge, the H4, just to try something new. I also was attracted by the 100% solder-less system so I bought the switch as well.
They aren't excessively expensive, so I bought them.
As I said, I was absolutely impressed by the quality, and above all, the sound... clear, defined no matter how much distortion you throw at them. Very nice articulation and dynamic. Very responsive.
It's not like many say, the passive 85... I personally like them more!!!
If you ask me, I'm delighted with them, and I strongly recommend them, but I also strongly recommend to listen to them first... you may not like them...
It's matter of taste, in the end...

passive EMG sound great
Did buy this pickup together with EMG H3 for the neck position on my Squier FSR affinity telecaster HH. on its own this is a already a super guitar for the price a lot better than the standard affinity guitars.
But I wasn,t completly happy with the sound. I did listen to a number of pickups eg dimarzio superdistortion set bare knuckels and some seymour duncan pickups. But nothing sounded as tight and well balansed as the EMG H4A. mounting was also very easy with the solderless EMG system. I also did use the EMG 3 position switch because on a tele you only have 1 volume an one tone. Up until now I am very happy with the combination H4a/H3 . On a final note I would recoment this set up for everybody who is playing hardcore or metal

Great pickup
Slapped this in my ESP to replace the standard ESP humbucker and the guitar went from AC/DC to Slipknot real fast. If you like playing metal and need to upgrade your conservative passive pickups, this is it.

Very nice for clean sounds. If you are not into active EMG, this is definitely a very good choice.

Best passive pickups you need
The best pickup brand on market for passive pickups. If you play harder style of music, then this is first choice for you. So simple to wire, but sound at final are mindblowing. If you get H4A pair with H4, you will be done, trust me. Excelent, 5 stars!

Very different from active EMGs (which I like a lot), but still nice sounding and pleasant to play.
