Customer Reviews:

Fit for a skeet shoot. [Posted on 2006-04-10]
I bought these CD-R's because I had bought Verbatims before and they worked, and plus, damn did these CD's look cool! I picked up this very 10-pack and got right to burning.

Well, there goes about 5 of my 8 dollars down the tubes.

Out of 10 CD's, only four worked (the gold ones tended to work, while the silver ones did not). One of the CD's I burned was for my uncle, so out of 10 of these things, I got three CD's out of them. Whoop whoop whoop.

I really wanted to like these, because they DO look cool (hence the two-star rating), but the fact is that they are defective, and I do not recommend for anything but cool-looking coasters. Stick to regular brands such as Maxell, Fujifilm, et cetera.

On the other hand, if burning an Ashleeeeeee Simpson CD, make sure to use one of these, on the off chance it may not work.

hmmm... [Posted on 2006-05-03]
Not quite sure why Eggplant's discs didn't work... I have never had trouble with these. They work fine for me. I do wish they come in more than just gold or silver though (a reason for the 1-star drop). Oh well...

Burning away,

Andy

NOt really Gold but orange albums [Posted on 2007-05-14]
I was Dissapointed in the "gold" CD Album. It was more orange like than gold. I would have much better spent the money on a the platinum cds they look way cooler.

Burn them SLOWLY [Posted on 2007-09-02]
I've burned quite a few of these, and I like them a lot, but they don't print the maximum burn speed on the packaging. I've had very good success burning them s-l-o-w-l-y. On my older CD-RW burner I set the speed at 4X. Obviously, this is quite a trade-off if you have a lot to burn, but for a few special CDs these work well.

I recently replaced my old burner with a new DVD/CD burner. There is no way to manually set the speed, but it automatically drops down to 16X (or slower) for these CDs and I've had no problems.

If you have to burn a lot of CDs in a hurry, these are probably not the ones for you. Stick to some good 48X brands, with more generic looks.

I have one older CD player (1990 portable) that has a problem with these, but it has a problem with a few other brands as well, so I blame the player for that.

Excellent CD-Rs, plus good looks. [Posted on 2008-04-23]
I have always had great success with Verbatim discs, and these are no exception. No coasters, no going bad over time. I rarely, if ever, burn a CD faster than 16X because I think that helps their longevity, so I've never run into any speed problems like one reviewer did. And never, ever, have I had coasters with Verbatim products.

Plus, here's something to consider: The "record"-like appearance has grooves you can feel on the label side. This gives these discs extra "traction" in slot-loading players, like car players. My car deck will have problems ejecting some CDs at times, but I can always count on these Verbatims to work because of the grooved surface.
