What sound do these glasses make when clinked together? (My boyfriend is a stickler for wine glasses that produce a nice robust glassy sound)

These are quite different to the Riedel Vinum series. If you don't want to spend the money on Vinum, go with the Stolzle Classic Red wine glassware at a similar price. The Stolzle is a similar price point and almost indistinguishable from Riedel Vinum. They have a traditional "sound" or clink that you would expect from a thin crystal glass.

Not quite sure what that means, but they seem to make a nice sound. Definitely a great deal for 8 wine glasses. My wife and I use them for everyday use.

Wow, that is a tough question! Empty, they make a very nice solid ring tone. I've used Riedel glasses for years and never been disappointed.

I don't know about that, sorry. But I will tell you that these glasses are very "delicate".

We have not yet used them for wine however, they are glass and we have no reservarsion in doing so. This is something we will try.

They are Soft on the bottom so no screeching. I really like them. I haven't had them long enough to tell about durability.

Hi. They are of some metal aleation similar to aluminum or magnesium. They sound beastial, I mean, they rocks!The sound, the bass, and also using software to improve the quality, it's awesome!I got problems when using them at home, because I cannot hear anything outside my ears, only the music. They are like a sound box in each ear. Beware that you should set you volume level with some apps including youtube.They come with 2 cables replaceable when damaged, and that's a great feature for expensive like headphones like this one.Out of that, I love them and highly recommend them for music lovers (rock, hip hop, latin music like dembow, reggaeton or salsa).Cheers!

Hi,They are glass, but, very, very basic. I purchased them for a casual party and I am now inclined to just give them away or toss them out. They are not special. I differ in the previous person's assessment of the glasses. Of course, I love Baccarat crystal glasses so I am probably being on fair in comparing apples to oranges. So you may want to consider your needs. For a simple casual party, they were nicer than plastic BUT not too much better than that.

The glasses are of average thickness. Not like the high end stuff, but still workable. There also not that heavy. They are just average drinking glasses.

I think they do...this is by no means a "chunky" glass. The rim isn't as thin as some wine glasses, but overall the glass is way lighter than they look in picture. Hope that helps!

well....don't know if I can answer that. I have an old set that I have been using for 15 or so years because I can't find any that sound better. The closest is a set of skull candy over the ear.

No. These glasses are extremely poor quality. I wore them once and returned them because they feel so plasticky and about to break. I recommend against them. Good luck

I also don't like thick rim glasses and I happen to love these. they qualify as thin to me, but it depends how thin rimmed you're wanting. They are not like wine glass thin. If that's what you're going for I'd suggest getting some good quality stemless wine glasses.

They are made of soapstone, and do not scratch glass at all. I like mine, but many complain that they do not cool the liquor enough -- they are not a substitute for ice cubes, but rather a way to cool and maintain the temperature of the whiskey by 5 degrees or so. If your fiance likes bourbon or scotch neat, this is a great gift.

The stems on their glasses tend to break and they are not worth that price at all, Try this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0097F1LW0/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They're comfortable enough with glasses, but with my glasses they make loud, annoying noises when they rub against the arms of the glasses. This happens even with the slightest movement of the head. It's actually so loud that I can hear it over top of even the loudest music. This happens with all 4 pairs of glasses I have. They all have metal arms with plastic coatings where they go around the ear. These are great headphones, but I can't stand listening to them when I wear glasses, and my prescription is high enough that I need to wear them all the time.

They are more comfy then the hard tips, however my husband use's glue otherwise they fall off. Expensive but worth it I can have my peace and quite and he can hear the TV. Bad part he can't hear me. For him I am sure its a good part because I talk a lot... LOL ... you just take off the hard tips and replace with the plastic ones. Hope this helps!

I've got to tell you, don't buy them. After a short period of time mine were broken. I live near a Dollar Tree store that has better quality glasses than these. Good luck.
