Harley Benton Valuestrings EL 9-42 4-stars Reviews

Reasonable

You're not gonna get a good sound like with big brands for 5 euro but they are still getting job done. Quality wise is pretty much what should be expected. There shouldn't break as long as you're careful, especially with high e.

Great for their price

Great value for money but nothing more.

good strings except!

i have found the high 'e' strings to be very brittle/thin and tend to break easily--even when you first fit them.so i usually put daddario 09 for the high 'e' string....i guess you get what you pay for! ....but i have not had any trouble with eadgb ones,price is very good though,and they last quite a while before replacement,i wouldn't gig with them!

Nice product

just thought to give a try on them. thin string set, good for unexperienced hands (pain is less) and the sound is decent. Can't complain, especially for that price

Great quality

Worth the money, they tend to loose the sparkliness associated with new string very fast, but if you change them often as I do, they are great.

Cheap but works

They work well as a spare set of strings, but nothing fancy here.

Good value for money.

Good value strings for very cheap price. Sound is not as bright as the name brands, does not feel as good as the name brands, but that is to be expected for this price.

Pros: price, sounds okay.

Cons: Feel is not as nice as the name brands.

Good for the price.

Good for the price.

good product

I first tried this in my friends guitar and I would not believe it is for this money, he showed me the big pack that he bought in the old days while it was even cheaper and he was using since many years. I said I will give a chance since I was disappointed last time when I paid like 4 euro for a set and it was just unsatisfying.

'Valuestrings' is the perfect name for these

These strings are incredibly cheap, make no promises of excellence, but deliver a good product. They do feel cheap, and don't sound the best, but if you go through strings quickly or prefer that 'fresh-out-of-the-bag' feel then these may be a good, cost-effective solution for you.

Pros:

-Cost

-Cost (So inexpensive it's worth saying twice!)

-Sound is okay

Cons:

-Can feel a bit cheap

-Don't sound quite as good as more expensive brands

-Prone to breakage

Good basic set of strings

Long bits of metal wire that attach to your guitar and make sounds, what else can I say? Well, they stay in tune and sound fine to me. Good value for money and liked that they were individually bagged.

Good, cheap strings for electric.

I have been using these for maybe 15 years on my Floyd Rose guitars. They are incredibly cheap, sound well, and feel ok. (they used to feel much smoother until about 2007, when HB seem to have changed either the material or the manufacturing process - since that time, they feel less slinky, and when you uncoil them from the pack, they don't spring out straight like most strings, they retain the coiled shape.) They come in individually sealed packs, so the don't rust in storage. A useful tip for Floyd Rose users.... after every gig, I take the treble E out of the bridge, snip off a centimetre, and then re-install it to the bridge. This completely avoids string breakage during gigs, and the already-used string is much more stable than fitting a new one!

Really good cheap strings

I've purchased and used many sets of these strings down the years and haven't had a set that has let me down yet, be that at home practising or out gigging.

The strings aren't the best strings in the world, but they are also a very long way from being the worst. Upon unravelling them from their individual plastic wrapping, they stay a little curly (unlike big brand strings that straighten out), but once they're on the guitar and up to tension, all is fine. They feel a little funny (especially the unwound strings - they feel like they're coated in something) fresh out of the pack, however, this is nothing a spot of Fast Fret can't rectify. Fresh on, they're nice and bright and stay that way for quite some hours of playing. Under the fingers, they feel fine and in a way, slightly softer (a bit nylon-esque) to the touch than other brands.

All in all, really good 'no-frills' strings at a really good price.

Definitely good value for money!

I use these strings on anything with a Floyd Rose. They sound good and last well. They don't feel as smooth as the more expensive strings, but who cares - they're really cheap!!

Nice strings.

These strings are not as bright as more expensive ones but they stay in tune, sound good and bend just as any other string. And you just can't beat the price. I ordered 14 packs of these so i won't have to buy strings for a while.

Good but not outstanding

For my pro work I buy better one like thos made in the USA, or d'Addario.

Good value strings

great value strings, I have used these on a number of guitars no problems. I would happily use them again. The strings come in a sealed package so all good. Not sure why but the strings seem little longer then other brands, but no problem as cut them anyway.

Great value strings

These strings are exceptionally cheap. For the price there can be no complaints.

I always keep a few sets of these strings in my guitar bag for when they are needed.

For the price you cannot go wrong with these strings

so surprised by these!!!

harley benton have done it again... super cheap product with excellent quality. im not gonna say they are ELIXER quality. but come on, for 1 eure these strings are Awesome and I would definitely take a few spare packs to a gig just incase

Perfect for practising long hours

We all now how it feels to put on some new strings and after a while playing them, seeing they have almost wore out completely. It sucks, right?

Well, given their ridiculously low price, this strings are perfect for the average musician who doesn't need to sound killer while practising on the couch. They are also great for rehearsing many hours without worrying about their state. You play them and when they are dead, change them and you're rady to keep rocking. This way, you don't need to spend about six times more in a package of new Ernie Balls. Save those for showtime.

This strings are also great for those bands that gig reglarly. If you love the feel and sound of new strings each time you perform live, buy several of these and change them every time. You won't lose any money and this strings will give you perfect results, one gig at a time.
