Experiment
this was a bought for a build DIY, its great to use budget strings to DIY Bridge and neck alignment. sound seems ok, but darker maybe no sure
overall i think great for repairs etc.
Normal
Beginner sets, i like only price
perfect for trying out new things
i bought these to string my self made instrument. they holdd their tension well, and sound fine. i am especially happy with their price, which allows me to buy plenty of back-ups should a string break. (has not yet happened
Good cheap strings
I wasn't expecting much from these strings but they sound and feel as good as other much more expensive strings I have used on my telecaster.

Value string
Pretty much exactly what you get. Decent strings, a bit "tinny" sounding, but for such price that can be forgiven. Highly recommended if you're an amateur, just playing at home - gigging musicians might want to use higher quality stings.
Exactly what you would expect from strings this cheap. Does the job, they might break sooner than more expensive ones.
surprisingly good
these clearly are D'Addarios but they are extremely good for the money no quality issues or tuning problem as you so often get with cheap strings. very playable and a nice crisp tone i'll def buy these again
Great
If you have multiple guitars and can't spend a fortune on restringing, this is the solution - happy customer here
These are good strings
I must have changed strings a couple of hundred times. These strings are as good as any I have put on.
At this pricepoint i think these strings are quite good. No tuning or breaking issues with these :)
Ok for the price
Bought 10 sets, half of them were dead and dull sounding straight out the packet, the other half were actually decent for the price per set. Strings were bright and clear, lasted a couple of weeks before going dull. Some sets also left black residue on my fingers.
All in, not bad for a budget set of strings, can't really go wrong.
I don't use it with fender strat.
Best strings i've ever experienced
There are a lot of cheap strings in the market which don't have a good sound quality, or don't have sustainability. These Harley benton strings are one of the best strings i've ever used. Good strings, good price.
great for the price
great strings if you are a starving artist. great value .you can't go wrong with 1.50 a set. sound great
Great for practicing Floyd Rose setup
I got a few packs to practice how to change strings on Floyd Rose bridges. They did what they were supposed to do. Broke a few while stringing and setting spring tension.
I know some people who use these strings only, and change them every week, but I would go for quality guitar strings for recording and gigging.
Good
Good string sound for a given price)
I don't care what ANYBODY SAYS....These are as good as ANY of the "big boy's for half the price (or less in some cases) And THAT MATTERS when you have 23 guitars like I DO!!!
I've been using these for ages. I think they last as much as the more expensive strings and if you're buyng 7 euro strings you might as well get a few of these. Can't compare them to more expensive strings because i have been using these for so long, i can't even remember what other brands sound like.
