Harley Benton HQS CL Normal Tension

Backup strings

Improvement on stock strings. Good value, but 'high quality' is probably a stretch. They feel soft and pleasant.

Punching way above their weight

I usually use other more expensive brands, but decided to give these a go while ordering other items.

They were quick and easy to change, lovely tone and quite quick to stretch out and settle, leaving a warm but clear sounding strings. Very pleased with these.

Good strings, medium quality

I put strings on a budget classical guitar.

After several days of use, comparing with my experience of using strings from other companies, I identified the following advantages/ disadvantages:

Disadvantages:

1. Strings stretch for a long time;

2. Softer than I expected;

3. Weaker attack, few high frequencies, not loud.

Dignities:

1. Pleasant to the touch;

2. Balanced sound;

3. There are few side noises from changing the position on the neck.

In general, the strings don't sound very bright, but they have a soft, specific sound. They are well suited as strings for gentle melodic passages, non-aggressive manner of performance.
