Good Value for Money

I've experimented with a lot of strings so far and I have to tell these did not disappoint.

I mostly keep going back to Daddario EXLs but as I said I've tried a lot of different brands and types.

I will keep using Daddarios on my main axes but I used these in my Cort M200 which I use only sporadically and I have to say they are surprising given the cost.

The tone is not breathtaking but then again its not crappy either and it stays regular throughout time. No surprises.

They keep tune quite well and this for me is why they are good bang for buck. They also intonate well if you are wondering.

I haven't broken any, and tbh, if you have then check your guitar setup because something is wrong with it. These strings are reliable.

They do tarnish quite badly but if you clean them up properly after use you will be able to keep them going for a decent amount of time.

As good as any other string

These feel the same and sound the same as brand names 5 or 6 times the price. I bought 12 packs for the same money as 1 pack of elixers, these will dull faster but not 12 times as fast and breaking a string isn't as traumatic as it is when a new set is £12

cheap as chips

You get what you pay for and in this case youre not paying much so these are good value. If you dont need a nice clean tone and break strings often then these are the strings for you. They don't sound much good but are grand for kids playing distorted metal and ideal for a trash guitar to be sacrificed at the end of the set.

You get what you get

For the amount of money I paid for these strings, they are quite good. Quality is average. The sound is average too. I highly dislike that oily stuff they was covered out of the box. After month of usage they hold up as much as their much more expensive brothers. If you only need to practice and don't really care about tone, then for EUR 1,5 they are ideal.

Inexpensive goodness

I use these strings especially at home or during rehearsals.

They don't sound great but considering the price, it is worth a try and you can always use better strings when needed!

I love them!

Best for the price!

Using them for practice and some private shows.

I think they are very good for the price.

Not found any cons.

I have seen very budget string sets, but since now these are the best for the price. You certainly do not expect the high end strings quality, but the quality/price ratio is the best.

Absolutely recommended.

Great strings for everyday use

I bought several packs of those strings.

I like their sound, it's bright and has some balls in the midrange.

What I disliked is their duration: I happened to break the high E during a gig and the high E and the D during another.

Surely this is because I hit very hard with the right hand while I play, but other brands don't have this problem.

So from now on I will use them for home-practice and on the guitars that I don't bring to the live gigs.

Decent value..

These are decent value strings and certainly a great option for someone starting out or wanting to change to fresh strings very often.....

To my ear they sounded just a little bit "tinny" on the wound strings and went dead a little quicker than say Ernie Ball but I must admit they were on a refurbished guitar I was selling on and so were ideal for setting up and testing...

Great value strings

I gave these a go because they were so cheap and I'm not disappointed. They hardly sound any different to any other brand and - although I did break the D-string quite quickly - at this price I can afford to restring every gig!

Great value

These are unbelieveably cheap - in price, but the quality is decent for what you pay, I would recommend them, these are better new than top quality old strings.

Good value

Good value strings - well worth the money

HB value Strings

Really bought these as spares but last weekend my son who plays in a band found out last minute he had no strings. We strung his guitar and he played the gig. Afterwards he asked me what strings he had to replace, " no that's fine son".

"Thanks Dad", great strings.

Well that's how good they were!!

Decent quality strings!

The Harley Benton value range of strings are by no means the best guitar strings I have ever used - but they are pretty good!

The unique selling point of these strings is the price. I have never seen a set of guitar strings priced at just over £1! Despite the low price though, I have enjoyed using them and have around 20 packs in various gauges stockpiled in the studio!

They sound good, fell pretty good, and last a decent amount of time. The only odd thing is the 1st and 2nd strings have a strange waxy feel to them when you first take them out of the packet - fine when on your guitar though.

Great value!!

I usually use these strings on my electrics, they sound good and they're really cheap. They don't feel as slinky as the more expensive strings, but for the price, I can't complain.

Pretty good electric strings.

These strings are good if you are just putting them on your kids' squier but they are not really something I would like to use on a more high end guitar. So far I've used these string whilst waiting on another set of strings and they're not bad at all. They're rather good for the price however, so if you are going to buy these strings I'd definitely recommend buying these strings in a large amount of bulk and use them in between a string change but I'm not really sure if you would want to use these strings full time as they tend to lose their twang very quickly. Overview, good quality relative to the price. would recommend if you need a quick set of strings.

Nice strings

These strings have been a nice surprise. They are of good quality at a good price and are now on all my guitars. At first the strings are not very smooth, but playing for 10 minutes everything is resolved.

+ Cheap, no rust, good sound

- Average life (but for the price is excellent)

satisfied

Thank you for good quality and price of this product.

Very durable and easy maintenance.

I will certainly do more orders and give to my friends.

9 out of 10 dentists recommend these strings...

Joke aside, I bought a bunch of these strings because I'm still a student so I don't have much money and I wanted to get the most out of it. I made the right choice.

These strings sound reasonably good and stay in tune fairly well. The only bad thing I can say about these is that their tone fades away in about 2 weeks (I play the guitar for 4-5 hours each day) but since they are so cheap anyone can afford to change it every 2 weeks... BUT it's still cheaper than using some 'big brand' strings.

Your opinion might be different but for such a small amount of money you should give it a shot, you have nothing to lose.

I use these on ALL my guitars because I can afford to change strings as often as I feel like it without wasting lots of money.

A price/performance trade off

I use a specific brand of strings on all of my guitars but decided to try these. They are decent quality strings. I am impressed with the quality for the price. Are they up there with the top brands? Nope, are they close? Yes. Are they worth the price? Definitely. I always believe you get what you pay for, but once again Harley Benton has proven that you get a little more than you pay for if you pay for Harley Benton

Amazing for the price

I ordered these just because their price was incredible and was pleasantly surprised. While they aren't quite as vibrant as the Gibson Britewires I use by preference, the difference is relatively small and if you gig a lot and change your strings regularly, they are a godsend

They don't seem to break any easier and hold their tune well, and did I mention the price!!!
