That's a good deal, I bought 4 of them a few days ago for $34
Arctic sells B-stock of this variety on eBay often enough for cheap. If these are less visible, it won't matter either way but the ones I received looked new. I have these on the push side of push/pull radiators and they're basically hidden with the more visible ones being nicer RGB.
Always been a big fan of the ~$30 5pk Arctic P12 PWM PST fans! 5 for less than the cost of 1 Noctua A12, and they're pretty closely comparable - especially if you keep them below the ~1200 rpm range where they tend to have some rumble that the Noctua's don't.
Wonder what differences this "Pro" model brings. Still TBD there, given that the product images on amazon appear to be written in Dutch, lol...
Edit: Appears to be mostly just the different blade design & higher max speed (1800 vs 3000rpm now)

I recently bought a box of P14 Max, and was confused as well. (edit: still am lol) P12 Max has the extended PWM range of (400 - 3300) as compared to P12 PWM (200 - 1800). P12 Pro has a slightly reduced PWM range (600 - 3000) with higher static pressure than the Max.
Backordering "sold by Arctic Inc." usually comes with a worthwhile discount in my experience. I'd do it now if I hadn't already stocked up.
Oh, and be aware that an impact to the approximate location of the fan hub can crack all 5 fans inside of a seemingly undamaged package.

This is either a promo price to encourage reviews or a price mistake. These fans are highly sought after and people are importing them for $10 a piece from China.
Back in the old days even budget sleeved yate loon fans cost $7. So $5 a piece for a fan is pretty wild nowadays with inflation.
That being said it's still a budget fan and no noctua. Reviews point to actually having higher performance than noctua but people buy noctua for noise frequency to performance ratio.
One more bit of thought for food - based on my actual usage of <1000RPM with no radiators, I probably could have saved some money with the Thermalright fans:
but I'm obviously not extremely hardcore to the max with my preference for using less power while catching up with 15 year old games when I have time (and saving money on fans.)

I picked this up for $32 late December last year. Seems like a good deal but $10 per fan seems way overpriced. Kinda doubt it's a price mistake given what I previously paid.
I'm going to build a PC for the first time and bought a fractal North with glass version case and reviews say the default fans are loud and everyone replaced the fans with quieter ones. Are these really good ? Will they fit in my case ?
