I have only ever used these and I don’t mind them. I wouldn’t say they are super cloudy but the definitely aren’t crystal clear either.

maybe i got a bad batch or am just directly comparing them to the clear bags/Ultimate Outers. those other two sleeves really make the album art pop while these ones really make the art duller.

Here’s a sample of mine. I can agree that the art doesn’t pop but ultimately I’m not really displaying them in the sleeve a whole lot.

Thanks for the reference image! Yea--I think that's probably about how cloudy mine are. Think I'm just comparing it to the Clearbags/Ultimate Outers. I either have my currently spinning records on a stand or a shelf on the wall so I kinda like them a bit more clear than this.
I take them out of the bag for the 30-45 mins that they’re on the stand…

I can barely bother getting up to flip 45RPM records and now you want me to take album covers OUT OF THE SLEEVES???
Well I store them records in the sleeves and I’m not Houdini…

Ah--right. I'm a fan of the record behind the sleeve method.
There something about that method that rubs me up the wrong way. The only way to ship a record though!
I know about the pool noodles hack for IKEA shelves, but never got around to it. Then I saw this:

That would make a great headphone holder. I’ve been on the lookout for the right Beethoven for years.
