Some of the things I liked about them were:
- build quality given the low price
- easy to service, but not exactly DT level (cartridge bearings helped)
- aesthetics
- Wheels came with every hub cap option I could think of (qr, boost, different axle lengths)
I remind myself that they're basically Campagnolo wheels but with a different badge, so cheaper.
I'm now trying to stick to hubs that have easy to source end caps and that. I've struggled twice with OEM hubs that come with bikes (e.g. Formula hubs, some other randoms).

hippy
I'm probably judging them unfairly. They're cheap and they had an unknown life. I just get annoyed when bearings go during rides. Yes, my partner never checks anything. No, I'm not doing it for her.
I've had zero issues with my Bike Whisperer SP/DT Swiss wheels (other than crashes killing the original front rim) so I'd go another set but I'm also thinking of just being a tart and getting some nonsense deep carbon for the Crux.
