2556 Blue Steel Electric REG : Dean Markley 2556 REG Blue Steel

Dean Markley 2556 REG Blue Steel strings are phenomenal. The cryogenic treatment makes these last a lifetime without going dull. The sound is perhaps not as bright as on the regular DM-strings, but these seem to keep their sound good a lot longer. I wipe my strings after a play and the Blue Steel's last over a month, sometimes even longer. The quality has been flawless. I've never broke one nor received a faulty one. The coating is not as slippery as the Elixir-strings, but definitely more slippery than on the regular strings. I like them regardless of the coating. The price is a bit higher compared to the regular DM's but as said, these last longer. So basically you are saving money when buying these strings.
