Hey guys. I set up a comparison video with a March Madness style bracket layout. There are 24 60G shells! Check it out and vote for your favorite. The videos are set up as follows:
1. They are filmed on the same night
2. The same camera is used from the same perspective
3. The shells were sorted by effect. (some were obviously mislabeled!)
4. A Decibel meter was used to record the sound level of each shell.
5. The videos were split screened so that you can evaluate comparative height and break size.

I'd love to know what you all think of the video!

1. HD
2. Zeus
3. KO
4. Zombie, this one was close! But the noise difference was the deciding factor
5. Beowolf
6. Viper
7. Thunder
8. 5x

This was a great video comparison, I haven't seen any with a db meter on it.
1. HD
2.zues
3. KO
4. This was a close one for sure but Zombie wins
5. Boewulf.
6. Viper
7. Thunder
8. 5x.
It does make one wonder, generally a 60g shell is a 60g shell, but the colors, breaks and sounds where much different. Makes ya kinda think why.

I love silver dragons and crackling comets. I am also a certified shell junky (see initial post). My current favorite though is probably the Mission to Mars cake from Grand Patriot.

After watching this, I'd have to agree that they are very close to be equal imo. Some had better color and break. Only in a comparison can you really notice, with a few exceptions I suppose. Love it though
