BB112 : Great long-lasting strings with a wonderful tone

These strings are great. They sound great for jazz, with a bright-ish tone which is not overly so.

The silk wrapped around the ends aids the string not to slip through the machineheads and nut, which is great. You won't have the problem of the string slipping and making that awful 'tink' sound when tuning.

These strings last a little bit longer than your bog standard cheap ones, which I guess is part of the reason that they are a little pricier.

The one thing I was disappointed with was to find that the G string is unwound. I prefer wound G strings, and didn't realise this when buying it. This was a pity because I had to use another wound G string. A little bit of a waste, so just make sure that an unwound G string is what you're looking for.
