Comparison: Rubik's 4x4, V4, or Eastsheen 4x4?

[jcuber]

i have a rubik's 4x4 and it pops a LOT. are the v cube or eastsheen versions better?

 

[StachuK1992]

There aren't any v4's...yet

and yes, eastsheen pwn's rubik's in 2x2, 4x4, and 5x5

 

[jcuber]

does anybody have a picture of the insides of an eastsheen 4x4? if so, please post them. also, i wonder what kind of design the v4 would have.

 

[smskill12]

ha everyone says eastsheen is beter
i only think es is better for 2x2 but 4x4 i would get an old brand rubiks 4x4 or a studio
but edison 4x4s are pretty good
5x5 i would say eastsheen gets owned by rubiks
eastsheen cant cut corners rubiks 5x5 are better in my opinion espicially the non retooled ones

I am in the process of breaking down a 4x4 rubiks (its been atleast a month now) and I gotta say that im pretty dissapointed in it. Although I havent lubed it Im still speculating how good it will turn out. This is my 2nd rubiks brand 4x4 and as far as I can tell, eastsheen is a lot better. Rubiks 5x5 wins though, definately! you wont be unsatisfied with it.

And of corse, eastsheen 2x2 will be the best FOREVER.

 

[crazyasianskills]

Eastsheen for 4x4 unless you get a really good rubiks which is rare. V5 for 5x5

A v4 would be completely crap. 100% horrible. Old Rubiks ftfw! Throw out any new rubiks as they are horrible. ESs are somewhat OK but in general they suck.

I agree. My rubik's brand is broken in a ton and lubed a ton and it works amazingly. Better then the one eastsheen I've tried ever.

 

[rachmaninovian]

well my old rubik's suck..i'll just get a studio i guess.
and I hate eastsheen 4x4. they are a waste of money. they last only 2 months for me, then it becomes uber loose and crappy.

but i think that a v4 should be good, if it's not as irritating as a v6 >.<

Sorry but.. I just think Eastsheen 5x5 owns Rubik's. Rubik's just tried to come out with the fastest way of making a 5x5. Eastsheen did their research.

Well, that's just what I think, though. :/

 

[rachmaninovian]

I think that eastsheens are bad. If you get a rubik's 5x5 from japan, its so much better than an eastsheen

 

[Mike Hughey]

I think it depends on the Eastsheen. Some are better than others. And the one thing that's bad about a good Eastsheen is that you have to be gentle with it, or it will become bad too. That's the nice thing about V-cubes - you don't have to be quite so gentle with them.

I have 3 Eastsheen 4x4x4s. One of them is terrible (but was once quite good - I dropped it and now it's awful), one is just okay - it locks up sometimes and isn't the smoothest to turn, but I still like it better than other people's favorite Rubik's (it's my everyday one), and the third one is just awesome. I save the awesome one now exclusively for competitions - I put it away except for those.

hey guys, talking about studio and rubik's 4x4s? as far as i know, they are the same. the studio only manufactures 3x3s, for 2x2, 4x4, 5x5 they just sell the rubik's ones.
I nearly worked there this summer, and I've seen (and talked to the guy who did it) the process of packaging rubik's 5x5s, he told me that it was not produced by the studio but by 7towns.

 

[TMOY]

IMHO: Rubik 4^3s suck, either they are too tight or they pop heavily (and sometimes both at the same time).
Eastsheens are great when new but have a way too short lifespan. (Yes, perhaps I should consider being more gentle with them.)
I hope V4 will be released someday, il will probably be not as good as V5 but better than V6.

I like rubik's, though more pop prone, cuts corners better than my Eastsheen

 

[fanwuq]

Dan Cohen's Rubik's is the best 4x4 ever. Some Rubik's are ok. Others suck very much that you can't even go over 1tps.
Eastsheens are generally nice, but can't cut corners well. If you drop it, you can't get a replacement core.
What's an Edison 4x4?

 

[PCwizCube]

What's an Edison 4x4?

You know Edison 3x3 cubes? (Can only get in Korea).
Well there are Edison 4x4 cubes too.

 

[waffle=ijm]

EDISON 4x4 IS MY MAIN. I love how smooth it is.

 

[hdskull]

The retooled 4x4s don't pop, I've popped 1 edge piece, out of quite a long time playing with one.(6+ months)

really? I thought the core was different or something for lets say the 4x4.
