New Wheel Bearings Bad?

Last week, I replaced my inner CV joints, inner/outer boots and wheel bearings. The parts came from Pelican. Now, with the new parts installed it seems like both new bearings are bad. It sounds like a 4x4 truck with mud tires going down the road and I have a nasty vibration which is worst between 70-80mph.

I know I did everything right, the only questionable thing could be the hub bolt torque (this is supposed to be about 350 lb.-ft, I had to guess by standing on a breaker bar), if anything I could have over-torqued these.

Has anyoe else had bad out-of-box bearings? And two, for that matter?
