What can you say?

These are fine strings and such a low price it feel harsh to be critical

The only drawback is that when unwound, they stay "bendy" whereas other strings would straighten

This is not a huge problem most of the time, but where you want to do a quick change it can be annoying to get through a tremblock

Otherwise - very good, feel no need to go back to a more expensive brand

They last longer than expected

Those strings are fine, they are cheap and last. I bought those for my secondary guitars and they play very well.

They sound is fine, the sustain is ok too.

I would recommend as spare strings to bring in your case for concerts and rehearsals in case your better strings break.

Good, well made string, easy to play

Nicely made string, sounds good, the only minor negative is that they don't last quite as long as some other (far more expensive) strings, however as you can buy several sets of these for the price of one set of some of the other brands, that's not an issue.

Have plenty left in stock and will continue to use them for the foreseeable future.

Great quality why pay more ?

I have 20+ electric guitars and have been playing for over 40 years, during that time I have used all the big string brands . I have been using HB strings in all gauges for years . They are bright and last as long as any other strings I have tried with the one exception of a coated set that came on a brand new guitar . . I usually only replace a full set about once a year and rarely break strings whilst playing . These strings are cheap enough to buy extra sets for spare singles . The 9's 10's are just as good . One suggestion which would make them even better value would be to include extra top e string for a few more pennies per pack ?

Do not misunderstand

These may not be the best strings overall, but relative to the price they are unbeatable. Whenever I order I always throw some HB strings onto it as well because they're so affordable.

Great

Another hit for HB - if you have many instruments and need to change multiple sets strings often, this is the solution

Great Value

These valus strings are as they say. What you get for your money is very good.

These will make very good every day strings although I use them either as spares (I don't want to open a new set of more expensive strings when I break one at a gig) as any odd string will sound diferet to the rest in any partly used set, or if I need a half decent set of strings on a guitar that is not in regular use.

great value '

gets the job done for cheap ! would buy again

Amazing cost/benefit relation

I noticed no difference from the brand I used before. The sound is crisp and the strings last as long as any other brand I have tried so far.

Great Strings for a great price.

I use these strings on my hollowbodies for a year now and i love the tone. The only complain is that the packaging smells like cheap plastic.

Really good for the money

These strings are great value for money, compared to some top end strings they may not come out on top, but they're more than good enough for most peope to not even notice.

They handle different tunings well, including being drop tuned a fair amount, and they hold up well, I've been using them pretty reasonably on my guitar for months and they're still holding strong.

I'll definitely be purchasing these again in the future.

they are cheap, so if u selling ur instrument and dont want to spend much for strings, but want to impress the new owner with new feel, then buy them

Good value for money.

I normally use D'addrio but decided to give these a try after reading reviews. They aren't bad, not up to D'Addrio standard, but I wasn't expecting that. They do a good job and stay in tune. They don't play as smoothly as more upscale strings and seem to grind slightly when bending. but overall, for the price, there's not much you can complain about.

actually decent set of strings.

Couldn't hold a tuning at all

Perfect Strings

Very impressed with the quality of these strings, for the price of a Mars bar :D

I guess if you put a gun to my head I'd say the only criticism I'd have is that they don't feel quite as slinky and smooth as those of a much higher price point, but they are still 100% usable and feel fine. If you can even rub them down with a small bit of string extender or guitar polish its problem solved anyway, even if you don't do this they are fine quality strings to use and at this cost I bulk buy to save a lot of money. Highly Recommended.

Can't beat the price.

For the price... I like 'em. They alst long and I'm happy with the sound.

OK for Backup

Cheap way to keep backup of strings...

Cheap and Cheerful

Great strings to buy in bulk due to the affordability. I wouldn't say these strings stay fresh for a long time but the price means you can buy many sets and change your strings regularly.

Otherwise good but problems with quality

I ordered 12 sets of these strings twice, so in total I have a experience of 24 sets. First order sets were good quality and the sound is good when the strings are fresh. With second order I had major quality issues with the strings. With about 5-6 sets the high E-string broke while changing strings and once twice in a row. I had to change back to my old string brand because of this.

I also didn't like that string are packed in individual plastic packagings inside a plastic string package. This is very unecological.
