I've been playing guitar for 5 years and have had this capo for almost 1 year. I ordered the white and it looks great on my guitar. I love it! I don't like screw-on capos, so I've only ever purchased quick-change capos. I can't compare this to other types of capos, but this capo beats every quick-change capo I've had or used. I play guitar almost everyday and this capo shows no sign of wearing out anytime soon. The strings don't buzz, the sound stays the same, and I notice a very minimal amount of strings stretching. The ONLY complaint I could think of was that the plastic "sleeve" that goes around the area where the capo touches the neck of the guitar slides off occasionally. But that's not a big problem at all. I definitely recommend this capo to any guitar player!
