Pros & Cons
Pros
Sharp points make it easy to knit the tight little stitches we use to make good sock fabric. Every local yarn store around me keeps running out of them. Hiya hiya tips are a dream to knit with.
Some people find it difficult to adjust to this needle style. Hiyahiya needles are sharp but i prefer that!
Hiyahiya's have a reputation for sharp points, and these did not disappoint. They work excellently for decreasing on my socks. The hiya hiya flyers have the same sharp tips on both sides.
Love these. But these little fellas are great! Well made, great points. Quite possibly better than my addi flexiflips. Needed them for a special class. Really like these.
Cons
The cord portion of these is really rough - like a crimping machine was applied to the cord when the tips were joined. No fun to knit with at all. Gave up halfway thru a sock.

I tried the addi needles first but im not a real addi fan and found that i only like the side with the pointier needle tip
Two circulars had cords waving every which way and 9 circulars werent helpful with the stiff fingers
Shipping
Store did a great job with the shipping
They are not as sharp and after you use them for a while they are just as fast as the metal ones
Competitiveness
👍yes i would recommend these flexable needles
Much better than dbl pnt needles for small work in the round like sock toes
I have never liked using double pointed needs to knit in the round

The cables are too short for the needles and they always seemed to be in the way of each other the same way double points are
