Excellent pair of pickups for metal players
I have been using the standard EMG 81/85 set for years in all of the guitars that I own or have owned and I was very happy with them for the longest time. After having purchased a Harley Benton guitar (which plays and feels awesome) I decided to upgrade the rather cheap pickups and switch them out with this EMG Het Set. A huge difference, ofcourse. But having played the standard set for years I definitely feel these sound a lot more organic and ballsy.
I love the looks of these pickups aswell, a sort of brushed aluminum look that fits heavy guitars.
Although they are a bit more expensive than the regular 81/85 set, I definitely recommend trying these out!

Not Just for Metal
Bought these to replace the EMG 81/60 in my ESP FX Standard.
The finish is great, bought these over a year ago and still look like new. As these have quick connect wires they are easy to install.
Sound is close to 81/60 but they do seem to be more open sounding. I find them to be more versatile, rolling the volume back can bring you closer to a classic rock sound compared to the 81/60.

These are superb for punch your mids to another level - upgraded my ESP MX250 with these, and the now 25 year old guitar has gained a new life and I love it again - output is clearly less than an 81, but where these lead the line is in width of sound.

These PUPS are perfect for any Metallica fan, you will have no trouble dialling in authentic tones with these.
They are quite hot, massive output but sound super focused, power chords sound really crisp and clear.
They clean up pretty well when you roll the volume back on your guitar too, so you have versatility too.

This is the best pickups ever made
I used saymour invaders before this one and they are also great, but this one is definitely better for me, The sound very powerful and clean, I like the soldernes connection and quality in general. They also gifted the white fang mediator, and now this is my favorite one. Also packaging is really amazing, you are getting esthetic orgasm to open the box
