I was using a cheap pair of speaker stands for a few years, and decided it was time for an upgrade. I knew OnStage was the way to go, and I am not disappointed. There are, of course, a couple different variants of stands that OnStage has, but I ended up going with these for a few reasons. The single-strap carrying case is great (though mine arrived with a 2-inch slash through it which seemed to have happened during transit, still holds up though). Other variants came with different pole sizes, but this standard pole size has been tested with standard Mackie and JBL speakers alike, and works just fine. The stands do come with two small plastic attachments to help you if you have speakers with smaller stand holes. They are sleek and durable. I know of older OnStage stands where all the plastic knobs cracked after a few years, but these knobs seem more durable than older ones. I've barely had these for a year so maybe too soon to tell, but they're holding up fine. I only use them about once a month, but they've already been though some beating-up, and still show no issues.I should emphasize that I use these stands only about once a month. I have used other OnStage stands that are much older and have been beaten and bruised a ton, but are still really sturdy. As time wears on, if issues do arise, I will update this review.
