They're not bad, but they're not really the top shelf product that videos like these seem to perpetuate the illusion of.

I also get bored of watching literally everything get compared to Noctua

What Slick says at 2:44 sums it up. There's people who simply don't want to leave stock fans in their case because they're "stock". I'd like to believe the "premium" fans will pay for themselves overtime by using them in multiple builds.

Huh.

 

Well I'm a headphone user and don't really care much about noise, so this was helpful to me.

Buying things by hearing a good word from people you trust isn't a bad thing.

How often are you in America that you have American money readily available? Or is it due to PAX coming up. I'm really out of the loop.
