These are nice, smooth bamboo needles. Good tip. Good finish. All for a decent price.
However... they have a plastic tube instead of a cable. This initially seemed like an improvement the tube was nice and flexible. It was also fatter and held the stitches in a nice, uniform manner.
The flaw comes on the non-knitting end of the needle; it's seated inside the tube (normally the cable is secured inside the end of the needle). The non-knitting end of the needle takes a lot of pressure and flexing. The bamboo portion inside the tube has cut through the tube and the tube has almost detached from the needle.

The entire package only cost approximately $30 with shipping (at this time) while ordering bamboo needles individually could cost up to $10 each. I've been using these needles to knit a huge multicolored blanket and so far they've held up and worked well for me.
The packages are even resealable so you don't need to worry about all the needles getting tangled up together.

These needles are the absolute best circular needles I have ever used. The softness of the tubing makes them perfect for the 'Magic Loop' method of sock making.

At first, I was excited about these because I thought I could do lots of circular knitting with this wide range of needle sizes and at such a great price. However, the cord on these needles is the problem. It's bigger than any other cord I've seen on circular knitting needles, and that's a huge problem on the smaller sized needles. I tried to do a pair of socks using the magic loop method with the size 4 needle and my yarn couldn't move off of the needle and onto the cord because the cord is bigger than the needle. Also, the cord is some kind of plastic that has a lot of "grip" and "stick." The stitches do not slide well on it. Overall, these were a huge waste of money. Save your money and get a good name brand set of circulars. See what they sell in your local craft shop. Those needles will be the inexpensive way to get something that actually works. Personally, I like the Clover ones or the Skacel Addi Turbos for socks.
