That's better than most £600+ mobile phones, bargain.

What do the people that have purchased these think of them in general? My only niggling concern is that they look a bit cheap and plasticky and maybe not built to last long...

Cheers

I would say the heads look and feel ok, buttons and switch seem positive, battery cover is a good fit. The receiver does look and feel a little cheap, but then again it's not going to be sitting out there in all weather's. My only gripe is the LED's on the receiver could have been bigger and brighter, or have a fish eye lens to enhance them. At the end of the day they are only mid entry alarms.

They look like they should last well enough unless you really abuse your gear.

I dislike having to cycle through the louder volumes to get to a quieter setting, but a thumb over the speaker shuts them up.

They're not competing with top end alarms, but are well worth 200 quid for 3 and receiver in my mind.

Out of interest do they hold the settings so if you put the heads on silent volume setting will they remain like that necmxt time you turn off and on again?

Anyone else find it annoying that always one alarm which doesn't tighten down on buzz bar same as others. Swear every set i have, tightens up but facing opposite to others. Means have one which is looser than others and probably slightly different height on buzz bar. Am I being a bit pedantic? Had a set of rx plus too same thing one alarm was different.

Will be using for first time Sunday.

Second the Jag aligners or Chunky "O"'s from Thinking anglers or probably most DIY's there alright for alignment although they do perish and not locked up as tight as Jag kits but they work alrightish.
I always liked my Fox Skypod bars as you could keep the alarm in place and tighten the locking thread to it same as the adjustable collars on the solar bars.

There's a knurled collar on the thread of the alarm that you can move half a turn to fix exactly that problem.
