Very good quality for the price (a bit thin)
The Harley Benton 0.96 mm picks came in a better package than other more expensive picks.
Pros
1. Feel nice on my fingers
2. Material should last (when compare to other budget picks)
3. Grip is good (although not as great as the rubber grip on Master 8)
4. Price is very reasonable
5. Classical tear drop shape which is good for general purposes
Cons
1. Feels a bit thin when compared to other 1 mm thk picks (like comparing a medium pick compare to a heavy pick, I did not anticipate such a difference between 0.96 mm and 1 mm. I may need to try 1.2 mm next time to get the same rigidity expected from 1 mm picks).
Enjoy playing

Good, but not for me
Very good value and I'm sure will really suit some people, but I can't get used to the textured surface and the grip doesn't feel secure to me. I usually use .88 Dunlop nylons, and these feel much more rigid. The thing is, they're so cheap you might as well give them a try: you might really like them!

Plectra!
I rarely use a plectrum, I find for rhythm playing, the fingers are so much better. I use a lot of strum patterns from the world of the ukulele and flamenco when playing and a pick gets in my way.
Couple that with the fact that when I do use one, it tends to be for certain, short sections and they either get flung or dropped afterwards. In a 3/4 hour set, I use a plectrum for, ooh, 10 minutes in total and get through 4 maybe 5. You never find them all again afterwards.
I thought I'd try these and they are functionally identical to my usual .96 picks but without the price and big name. My next order will include another pack. They're comfy to hold with a slight matte finish that suits me. For a euro for a pack, can you really go wrong?

Matte finish, otherwise ok
It has a matte finish which somehow provides a less firm grip for me. Otherwise they work well and feels sturdy enough to shred around.

Not the absolute best choice, but definitely worth to buy a truck of them
This is the perfect choice for the typical pick-loser guitarist (so, basically 90% of guitarists). These picks have a very good grip, which results in an smoother attack of each note. In other words, the "twang" sound is a little bit reduced by these picks.
Overall, they are absolutely good. Worth each cent.
I have some Fender picks which maybe sound a little bit better, but last much much less.

They're good enough for me
I usually play finger-picking so I don't use the picks very often.
Quality and durability: After one year of use, I haven't been able to break any yet.
On the grip side... I have ended playing with the flat side without noticing the pick had turned 180 degrees.

Good for non-sweaters
These picks have a nice shape, but I lack the grip on the distance because I sweat a lot while playing at a gig.
I find Dunlop Tortex or Gator better for this reason.
Anyway, good picks for rehearsals or for practicing at home

Very good!
The picks are surprisingly good considering the price.
PROS: They offer a secure grip thanks to the size and the texture of the surface.
CONS: They don't last long (but I'm a heavy picker) and the surface texture differs form one to another. Looks like a manufacturing problem.
Overall I am very satisfied with this item.

Good set of picks
Good cheap set of picks. They can be a bit slippery at times, but for this price, they make a great back-up set

Great value Guitar Strings
Harley Benton Strings have surprised me as I did not expect long lasting, quality strings at this price.
