Decent for the price
I got Millenium Quiheads for my first shell set (1x 10", 2x 12", 1x 14", 1x 20") and later on two more sizes (1x 13", 1x16") for an additional floor tom and a new snare, to replace the regular heads with them for my home kit. Overall, they are a good purchase for their cost. Below is a detailed analysis:
Pros:
1) Cost-effective: a good inexpensive alternative to the costlier mesh heads from bigger brands
2) Serve the purpose: extremely quiet heads. I play in my shared apartment, and never once did I get a complaint from my flat mates of being too loud.
3) Good fit: the fit matches the different desired drum sizes. The heads also have some headroom to allow for tuning high or low as per the rebound requirements.
Cons:
1) Not very durable: these onesbreak/tear more easily than others. I have stopped using the bass drum mesh head since that one broke the most easily. Would not recommend if you are these ones if you are a heavy hitter.
2) Different rebound: the rebound is obviously not the same as what you would expect of a regular head, but that is the case with mesh heads generally.
3) Reduced sensitivity to triggers: I play with triggers in my home kit and get the audio output in my ears, and I feel that the triggers are a little less responsive with these mesh heads in comparison to others, thus forcing me to hit heavier, resulting in con#2 mentioned above.
Overall, it serves the purpose of making the kit silent, and is more pocket-friendly, provided you are not breaking them frequently.

Not as bouncy as I feared
I'm using this mesh-head on the 12" tom of my drum-kit in my living-room so my neighbors (and the visitors to the shops on the other side of the road) don't have fits every day.
They sure are nice 'n quiet and let me practice any time I want during the day. I was really surprised how hard I can hit them and still stay at reasonable sound-levels. The Summer is coming and I'm sure I can even practice with the windows opened.
They do need a LOT of stretching. Even after a month of being in use they still need to be tuned up every day. I wonder how long this will go on.
The bounce is actually better than I expected. Not as much as some of the reviews I watched beforehand made me fear they would. They are actually quite playable. Since these are my first mesh-heads I can't compare them to any other, but still, they suit my style of playing.
All-in-all a nice head, does what it was supposed to do and I'd buy one again, even if this one tears after a while.

Works Fine !
I used this 2 ply mesh head to replace the 1-ply mesh head that came with a 12 inch pad i bought second-hand.
What a diverence ! This 2 ply feels so much better than the stock one. Way better response now.
I did have to adjust the sensitivity om my Drum-module, but that can also be caused by the fact that this is used on a second hand drumpad !
So, nothing wrong with the mesh head, especialy concidering this price

NON MALE
Buon prodotto considerato il prezzo. Ma l'accoppiata con I PIATTI STILL SERIES della millenium non è vantaggiosa (pelli troppo silenziose in confronto ai piatti)

Really inexpensive, but not fit for all purposes
The price is ridiculously cheap, but you do need to know that single-ply mesh heads are not going to feel like the real thing. You need the extra layer for that. However, I did get decent trigger action and feel on certain drums. They are certainly a better pick if you just need something for silent practice. The rims of the heads are usually a bit too wide and sit loosely on the drum rim, but everything works fine once you crank the head up. Heads are quit resilient for their density and can take a beating, but that's the beauty of mesh.

Good Mesh Head for the money
Bought those as a cheaper alternative to the Remos Silent Stroke.
The build is very reasonable and it does the job I was hopping for.
I works for practice better than rubber pads, however the bounce effect is a little stronger than the regular drum skins, therefore it takes some getting used to it.
Otherwise I would recommend for low volume practice, and for a budget if you are on the market for mesh heads.

Great for home practice
The head does a great job at reducing the volume. There is a huge drop in volume. The rebound is a bit different, but it is still decent.
The only issue I have is that the head has a bit of a snare sound.

Great mesh heads!
I bight two to use one a practice kit. One for a 12" Tom and the other for a 12" snare. Both are very quiet but have a good level of tone remaining. I tune these way tighter than my usual acoustic g2/emperor choice, but I find that gets the desired quiet tone from them.
Cheap as chips and a really good product! Of course amazing service and delivery from Thomann.

Quiet Good Mesh Head!!
Good mesh heads. As good as silent stroke heads for me. Quite a lot of rebound though so be aware of this.
