Otherwise they track very good and have very small tracking force compared to other dj styli, which causes less wear on vinyl. Personally I would go for Shure M35x, which track a bit poorer, but sound better. But you should try them out before buying, since after the M44-7's the unimproved skip resistance did take some time to get used to, and I wouldn't describe my mixing style aggressive at all.
