very good for the money! For those who prefer playing new strings every show these work well.

The industry standard? Could be.

I have guitars with different string guages. What suits the guitar really. I have 25 so I try and get it right with each one. Its what feels right. Harley Benton products are top notch quality for the price point. Great sounding strings with a good feel under the fingers. I always buy 10 packs at a time. Makes sense really. Highly recommended.

The strings are fine for the price. However, despite the set is completely new, strings look like being used for a week: not as bright, the surface is oxidized and, as a result, not as smooth, as I would like to.

Good

Not much to say about these strings, they sound and work fine. Durability is fine as well, they won't break that easily. You likely won't be able to hear a difference between these and more expensive strings.

Cheap and best value

Sub standard sound and poor quality. Ball ends can be improperly wrapped sometimes. Considering its price, it is good enough for a backup set.

Nothing wrong with these strings at all.

Sound great on my vintage strat. Can't hear a difference between these ernies or d'addarios. Still sounds like a kickass vintage strat. Anybody complaning about sound probably has a low quality guitar/pickups.

And anybody complaining about string breakages probably has a poorly cut nut/sharp saddles or tuning peg holes because I haven't had a single string break and im on my 5th packet... and i bend these strings to the heavens.

Ideal for a second guitar

I've use several sets of these with no problems, they stay in tune and don't seem to break any more than more expensive strings.

If I'm gigging I use more expensive strings but if I'm not gigging and I need to change strings I use these, I also use them on my second guitar for the last few years with no problems.

Very cheap

They obviously don't compare to the higher quality strings in terms of longevity, but at this price you could replace them weekly. Absolutely no complaints with the tone.

Good for the price

These strings are great for beginners as well as for longer practice sessions where a particular sound is not so important. In addition to that, I have been using them myself when experimenting with different string gauges and not wanting to spend too much money before deciding which gauges suited me the best. These strings can not be compared in quality to professional strings, but for the price they are excellent.

Good strings

- Use :

I use them for years on Ibanez, Fender & Gibson.

I play many style and these strings always fit.

- Pros :

Cheap, good quality, good sound

- Cons :

Only one but it's almost insignificant : when "thumping", you can feel the imperfection of the string when doing up-stroke. That said, I once had the same thing with other strings (don't remember which).

- Conclusion :

Go for it !

Affordable Strings

I regularly use d'addario strings, these harley benton are not on the same level, although I find that for the price they do a good job.

Overall I think the the sound is not as rich as what I get from a d'addario strings, the flexibility and the feeling of the strings is also a bit more rigid and rude... despite that they have a reasonable durability with good resistance to oxidation. For the price I think they are a good choice for backup strings.

Yes they are good strings!

I now don't waste my money on sets costing up to 6 times more... why? These strings are made well and play well, they sound great when new and last as well as many name brands, but at a fraction of the cost.

Wish I knew about these earlier, I'd have saved a fortune!!

Get them!!

My go-to replacement strings

The Harley Benton Value Strings 010 are my go-to replacement strings for electric guitar. I don?t like to swap all the strings when one gets broken so I always replace this one string with the matching Harley Benton Value String. Overall I think the quality is quite good, especially if you consider the price. In my opinion it?s obvious that the Value Strings can?t compete with strings like the ones from Ernie Ball etc. but if you have a look at the price-performance ratio I really can?t complain about the quality, sound and durability of the HB Value Strings. As replacement strings I will definitely buy them again!

Great strings for its price.

These are good pratice strings. Very cheep so you can change them often, but I wouldn't use them on stage.

Good for the money

You get what you pay for.

The strings are decent enough and will sound good, but you don't get a lot of durability with these.

If you're recording in studio and wish to change your strings very often or if spend a lot of time polishing your strings, you can go for these.

If you rely on the quality of the strings themselves to be durable, maybe pay a bit more and go for Ernie Ball or Elixir.

Good value

They lose their freshness quicker than say Rotosounds, but for the cash these are decent. Buy in bulk and have at it. The electric Harley Benton strings are better than the acoustic strings.

value for money

Good string as long as you are ''light-fingered''. Responses pretty good at normal playing. Wont hold tuning at hard bends or heavy tremolo use. Even so, it remains ideal for studying purposes and its cheap !!!!!

as good as name brand strings

I initially bought them for guitar setups, but ended up leaving them on.

I honestly cannot hear a difference between these strings and regular Ernie Ball strings of same gauge.

the only difference I noticed was the Harley Benton strings are not as shiny as Ernie Ball or D'Addario strings.
