These lights are really neat. We decided to put them around our TV so that we could jam out to music with the lights on. They move to every beat of the music and words from what is being heard. There are different modes on the lights for solid colors, changing colors in the rainbow, fast, slow, different rhythms, etc. The only downside to the lights is they do pick up everything, the lights will even move to your voice as you are talking to people in the room. If there was a way to just sync the lights to what it is connected to that would be awesome.
