EXL170-5 : Nice Strings, but not the best you can get!

Well, I tried a couple of strings in the last months and this Set from D'Addario was one of them. I can compare them to Ernie Ball, GHS and Rotosound-Strings. The sound of the D'Addario-Strings is good. The B-String got a fat but pretty clear Sound and it has a great tension: not too soft and not too hard.

Compared to the other Strings I used I would vote them between the Rotosounds (worst Strings I've tried imo) and the GHS (Boomers). The reason why I gave the D'Addarios only 4/5 * for the Sound is that I preefer Stainless Steel Strings because of their aggressive tone. Compared to the Ernie Ball (Nickel)-Strings they don't have the Punch, which i love from EB-Strings. But for this price you can't make anything wrong with buying D'Addario Strings. ;)
