I purchased an NZXT H510i case that features the integrated CAM app to control lighting, cooling, and performance. So it made sense to get fans that were specifically made for this ecosystem.
The build quality is OK. The plastic is sturdy and the fans rotate smoothly. The installation process requires a careful reading of the instructions, but anyone with a bit of experience should be able to easily install them. I appreciate that the fans can be daisy-chained, which makes cable management easier. I did notice that one of the screw holes stripped while screwing softly. Luckily, the other three holes were fine, and this happened on one fan out of three.
Once installed, the CAM software will immediately recognize them. I was extremely impressed once I saw the lights come on. The oval-circular design looks stylish and futuristic without being too excessive. The software allows for almost unlimited lighting colors and patterns.
The software also controls the fans' speed according to PC usage, which is great. At maximum speeds, these fans are very quiet. I did not notice any discrepancies in fan spin. I monitored cooling and these fans did a decent job.
Unfortunately, there are a couple of things that keep these fans from being the best. If you buy an NZXT-i series case, it's a no-brainer. However, for any other case, you must buy an NZXT lighting controller as these fans cannot be used on their own. Also, some folks do not like the CAM software, which is necessary to interact with the fans. They claim it is too intrusive and collect too much information and are uncomfortable with this. Lastly, the price is very steep in my opinion. For a 4 fan system, be prepared to spend well over $100 if you have an NZXT-i case, or more than $150 if you need the controller. You can always opt for a less expensive set that works with most motherboards directly for 1/3 the price.
In the end, I am still happy that I got these. Although pricey, It works well with my NZXT-510i case and they look gorgeous. If I didn't have this case, I would've chosen another brand.

I'm such a fan of the refreshed series NZXT punkah.
It does fan things at unmeasured rates according to my motherboard software, so it must be just fine. It does RGB well and their CAM software is still rated one of the worst on the market.
But the fan looks cool and maybe even does cool?
Either way I'm in the breeze of these fans now.

Pro: Quiet and lighting looks nice
Con: Comes with a different set of cables that don't fit right and can easily confuse you, mounting edges are way thicker than a standard fan and is a VERY tight fit on my NZXT case where it's actually rubbing up against my CPU 12V cable, CAM software is cancer, not friendly with ASUS AuraSync or other software, high price

I got this fan to brighten up my PC case a bit & because my old fans were a bit plain. The RGBs cool & the designs clean. I only wish the colors were darker but they were cool overall.

This is a great fan, however, there is definitely room for improvement. It is a good looking fan, however, I prefer the Corsair LL series. The lighting for the NZXT fan is around the ring wheras the Corsair lights up near the blades. Furthermore, the daisy chaining is a pain and requires more coordination and wires to get everything to work. Overall, I think it is a good buy for an NZXT case/build. I would recommend this to a friend as a top, secondary product.

Make sure you get a controller to control the RGB. Does not say anything on the equipment.
