I wanted to try these lights, and was given the opportunity to do so. I must say, i was very impressed with them. The Monster Basics Sound Reactive Multi-Color LED Light Strip does everything it says it can do. These lights are sound activated, color changing,has a remote control and are very bright. I chose to put mine around my television. I was hoping the lights from the led light strip wouldn't interfere when i was trying to watch the television, and it didn't. I really enjoy these light's and would recommend them to anyone.
