    Does anybody have experience with these? If so, what's a good set as far as price/quality goes?

    Powerblocks are really really good but they're a little bit pricey.

    Here are some dumbbells. Not sure if they're adjustable or not.

    I got the Bowflex SelectTechs on a sale. The max is 55lbs.

    I think they're bulky for some exercises but if you have a larger frame you might get used to it quicker. Other than that, it's very easy and quick to change weights.

    Cons are its bulkiness and that it's usually a 100 or 150 bucks more than Powerblocks.

    Don't have experience with Powerblocks.

    I have some Ironmaster adjustable dumbbells. Have used both powerblocks and the bowflex ones, but think Ironmaster feels more like a regular dumbbell.

    When it comes down to adjustable DBs it usually comes down to Powerblocks vs. Ironmaster.

    I have Ironmaster because they were a little cheaper, are more like a traditional DB, and fit my needs.

    Powerblocks will change faster and work well if you're into supersets and the like. Try craigslist. I found a set of Powerblocks for ridiculously cheap. I woulda bought them over Ironmaster but someone beat me to it. Still I am very happy with the Ironmaster DBs.
