Are these better than anyone else's? Of course not. Pretty much any tea ball is the same. But they have no flaws- the clasps work great, there are no loose wires poking out, they are not some weird metal that rusts and tastes bad. Perfectly good, normal tea balls.
I gotta say, in reaction to the shockingly highly-rated review from some idiot who apparently doesn't have tea on their home planet... no it is NOT a design flaw that you can only fill a chain-style ball halfway (as opposed, I guess, to the ones on stiff handles, that open like scissors, so you could grab a full scoop out of the tea tin). YOU ARE ONLY EVER SUPPOSED TO FILL A TEA BALL HALFWAY, well, actually less than halfway. You need to leave room for the water to swirl through the tea so it can infuse properly. If it's jammed in there tightly, you won't get all the flavor out of the tea leaves. And keep in mind tea expands a lot once it is fully wet. You want to fill a teaball maybe 1/3 full in my opinion. Half full is the absolute maximum.
This little 2" one I bought is only good for a single cup of tea if you like it strong, maybe half a pot of weak tea. If you want to do a full strength full sized pot or large thermos, you need to get a couple of them in there or pick the larger ball, maybe even put a couple of the larger balls in. Whatever you do, don't cram too much tea in each ball or you'll be throwing out your tea leaves with most of the flavor still in them not in your water!
Personally I prefer to use a french press, seems to infuse more thoroughly plus I like to look at the leaves unfurling. But a glass carafe is bulky and fragile. If you are travelling or making tea at work then you need a tea ball, and these are a perfect choice.

Sturdy, but mesh too wide!
Sturdy design overall, but the mesh was not small enough to keep tea leaf particles out. I had to strain the tea again through a hand held strainer with a finer mesh(see picture to compare mesh size), which defeats the purpose of the tea ball.
