Great

Perfect strings for any player.

Good Stringset for drop A Tuning

I like this stringset for my 7 String. It has a good tension and a clear sound. I ordered 3 Packs and dont think i need an other brand in the near future

Love these!

These strings have so much attack, you'd be surprised if then didn't punch you in the face.

Clarity in B tuning is spot on, I would though have liked a thicker b string. I do not like the feel of these when going towards drop g#/g

But for what they are, they are worth every öre

Good

Good for the A#, but I reccomend better around 10-56 set for this tunning.

Finally competition to Elixir's

Like in the topic, finally some string manufacturer dared to design guitar strings that may compete with good old Elixir's. The sound is bright and they tend not to buzz as Elixirs may have. Also, they are not covered with a material that is used with Elixirs so I presume that using some string cleaner would be beneficial and will extend strings lifespan.

Nice range on these strings

These strings serve me very well playing a wide range of genres.

I use a lot of legato and tapping in my playing and I find these strings to hold up very well and sound clear on low, mid and high frequencies.

I haven't come across an issues with this product.

A step up!

Been using standard Slinky's for 15 years now. I decided to try cobalts a while ago and I'm really satisfied. More low end, more highs, more output. This particular set is great for lower tunings. Works perfectly with Drop A. Oh, and they seem to last longer than nickel wound strings which is also cool. Recommended!

Great for drop tuning!

Bought these for recording a single with my old band. They have a massive low end tone, with enough clarity to make them great for low tunings. They didn't stay this way for as long as I'd hoped though. The next day the guitar needed a new set of strings despite them being cleaned after playing.

Disappointing tone and lifespan.

These strings were recommended to me as an alternative to some anti rust strings i've been using. I was assured these strings were long lasting and more suitable for the tuning I was using. Alas, this was not the case.

The strings have a very dull sound and make my axe fx and ibanez prestige S sound bad. The bottom strings turned a dark grey a single day after using them and they seem to have lost their tone overnight. The overall tone was slightly muddy when they were new but the gauge is too thick even for extremely low tunings to A and B. There was no give and little life when the strings were new and they died almost straight away. I couldn't recommend these strings to anyone looking for a long lasting set of strings.

Believe the hype!

After watching several glowing reviews on youtube, I decided to take the plunge with a six string set of Ernie Ball slinky cobalt, and hang the expense... The sheer tone improvement and longevity were more than worth the money. I was delighted when EB saw sense and introduced a seven string set! Not only do they deliver excellent tone and staying power, the gauge selections in this set are very well balanced, with a mighty 62 on the seventh string. I had previously been compelled to change strings after only a couple of recording sessions to preserve the sustain and clarity... with cobalts I am five songs in and they are still bright and powerful. Now, I wonder when they'll introduce an eight string set... Many thanks Ernie Ball!
