Nothing is like cane
I tried them twice. The first time I bought a 2 1/2 like the Vandoren V16 I play but it was thin compared to what I was used to. Their body is also thinner than cane reeds, you need to tight your ligature more and sometimes it can damage your ligature. The worst thing was that the mouthpiece cap pressed against it because of it and the reed got bent and it wouldn't become straight again. On the second one I bought I was more careful. I bought a 2 3/4 and it was thick enough. I also took it off every time I played so it wouldn't bend by the cap. After a month of use cracks started forming and now I just keep it as a backup in case of emergency. Its sound compared to other plastic reeds I tried is much better but it still has too much mid frequencies. It's too sharp and it hurts your lips. Also, it's not that responsive and squeaking happens easily. You'll be better off buying cane reeds a bit thicker than you need and sanding them down to perfection. I find it too expensive for what it has to offer.

Perfect Legere!
I hate wooden or bamboo legeres, this is a perfect alternative for a germaphobe like me :D

by cane.
My choice is 2.0, got this 3.0 one to try different strengths and this turns out to be too much for my sound. Sometimes I use it to practice embouchure and overtones or a harder reed. If you are a beginner I recommend to start with a softer strength.
