Not the best but good sounding strings. They are long lasting. Good quality.

Great cheap strings

Yes, I tried many branded products. I am changing my strings every two weeks (approx. 8 gigs + 4 rehearsals). Many other, more expensive strings cannot last more than a 3 weeks, so I decided to buy a decent amount of these and change them every 2 weeks. Sound is OK, price is really good.

Fantastic cost to price ratio

I have put these on so many of my guitars, I love their bright tone for the price. I have tried more expensive strings that are a lot more and they match up well.

Used these for years. Purchasing 100's at a time. Don't last long although still a great deal.

Great strings

These strings are great. O have them on my 1967 sg vibrola. They are cheap but who cares if they sound good

Better than you would expect

Considering the price, these strings are fantastic. In direct comparison to higher quality strings, however, they sound a bit harsh and i feel like the G-String is somewhat more prone to breaking than usual.

why not get them

decent quality and very cheap, brilliant for having them as spares aswell, they sound good...not amazing but i wasnt expecting them to be, pretty much every order i make from here i intend to put a set of the 10's and 11's because it really doesn't make a difference to my order and its good to have some reliable good sounding strings on hand that i can place in my guitar toolbox, my spare parts box, and any guitar cases so no matter what, these are there ready to save the day, id recommend anyone get a couple of each to try out and keep on hand.

Very cheap acoustic set

You'd be surprised at how cheap strings can be :D

Great cheap strings

What else can be said, they aren't bad strings and those of us who prefer the 80/20 bronze string sound can now string their guitar up for about the price of two packets of crisps.

Perfect for the person with many guitars.

Value for money

I use these strings on my dreadnought. They are fantastic when they are new, they sound great for about 10 hours of hard playing time after which they do noticeably start to deteriorate. I bought 10 packs of these and was changing them every week, but when I plugged into my pickup, I found that only the lowest four strings were amplified. I gave a set to a friend and he reported the same problem (He only realised when he was playing a gig and someone in the pub told him they couldn't hear his B and High E strings!) I will continue to buy these strings as they are excellent value for money, however I will only use them on guitars without a pickup now that I know they don't work, they will be fine for my little parlour guitar and just sitting round the house.

Decent strings for cheap

Bought these strings about half a year ago and have had them on my guitar since. They sound really good and I haven't noticed a drastic change in sound after use. Only problem I've had is that the G string is a bit bumpy around the 12th fret, but this is probably due to me bending frequently. So if you don't consider yourself a bender-maniac then these will be just fine, cheap strings, but if you like to bend then I would probably get some other strings.

Good strings for the price!

They sound bright and warm. They are very smooth. I would recommend to anybody who wants good strings for an incomparable price!

Buy bucket loads!!!

These strings work. They are not the best strings on the market but they will serve many players such as beginners and people using on rehearsal guitars. I've had them on my gigging guitar and have had no issues. The price is nuts!!! I will be buying again.

I've been using these for years and they're great!

I've been buying these strings for some years now and they simply offer the best price/performance ratio I've ever seen.

The sound is clear and bright for 1~2 weeks, but the strings hold up for much longer than that even though they will lose their clarity (but gain warmth instead). I've had expensive 18 euro coated strings and the difference for me is marginal between the two, except for the fact that I can practically buy 10 sets of the Harley Benton strings for one set of "good" strings. Maybe not suitable for studio or gigs, but they've been solid for me on my travel guitar and I always stock up a few just in case.

Affordable strings!

Great strings with a great price! Those HB Valuestrings must be included in any guitarist shopping bag, for a backup or to customize your own set!
