I use my blackouts for a little less than a week on an ESP LTD F-2E. So this is a hot opinion.

First, I play metal, and the pickups are absolutely awesome. The distorted sounds are very beautiful: ultra-precise, ultra-defined, ultra funky what ... The sound is aggressive and very dynamic. The palm mute and harmonics sound accurate, for the first percussive and strident in the second ... It all really.

The neck pickup, in turn is great for clean sounds and warm. It is very well defined. For more tips or blues rock, this is the best suited of the two. Still many dynamic and precision ...

Standard battery life, I have not done enough to turn my guitar to notice a loss of power ...

In the end, if it again, I would reiterate again!
