they are fine

I put these on my guitar with an open mind.

I usually change strings on my guitar every few weeks, and when I first put them on the guitar is always brighter. Not quite so much with these. I also noticed a buzzing in a few places that I don't get with my usual strings.

I changed back to my usual strings again, and I realised how poor these sounded.

I'll keep a set in my guitar case for emergencies, but for normal use, I'll stick to paying 3X more :)

What do you expect of strings that cost 1.50 euros?

I usually use D Addarios EJ16s for my acoustic but decided to give these a try at its cheap price. With its cost a quarter of my usual strings i could afford to experiment with them. Did not expect much when they arrived but i could already tell that these were some bad strings. the circular hooks were very loose and shaky and some of them were sharp around the edges. The main turning point came when i tried to string the low E string. I was coiling my string like usual when i heard a scratchy some and i realized the string was unwinding itself! It snapped a split second later. My advice is avoid these when possible and stick to the strings you know and love.
