Bang for the buck

If you keep changing strings often like I do, this is perfect. The strings are not the best in the market but they have a good value for those that don't like old strings. Sound not bad at all.

Cannot be faulted for the money

If you're on a tight budget and change your strings for every show then these are ideal. They are excellent for the price and they get the job done. They are definitely not Elixers by any means but I personally believe that tension in a string is more important than the longevity of the tone.

Excellent value for the buck

For this price, they're very good. Of course, you gen get better and longer lasting string from the big brands, but very few actually these string as far as bang for the buck goes. They do not last very long if you play regularly, but replacing them is very inexpensive. I say try them and judge for yourself, but it's very likely you won't be disappointed. FYI, I usually use NYXL's, so I'm used to very good strings.

Cheap but great sounding strings.

These feel like the same as the Ernie Ball slinkies I used for years but cost a lot less. Great for all styles of playing. I use this particular gauge for drop tunings and it holds tuning very well.

Great bang for the buck

These stings are great for backups or for students on a budget :) Worth every cent.

Good for practice

I just threw these on an old guitar that was in the house and they sound pretty good, I only play an hour or 2 a week but they sounded pretty okay considering how cheap they are.

Can't believe. Cost next to nothing but it still very usable.

HB strings are great surprise for me. They cost next to nothing but you still can get decent sounds from it. 0.11 strings are quite thick but it fits for jazz music when its about "fat thick sound". Please try these without reservation.

Good strings at at an unbelievable price

When I spotted these I thought it would be rude not to give them a shot given their price, they must be the cheapest strings I have ever seen. I was surprised at the chose of gauges given their asking price. They are packaged in the typical heady duty plastic bag and each string is individually packaged in a sealed plastic bag.

They are well made with no manufacturing flaws apparent on the sets I ordered. When playing, I would say about 90% of the tone of the ?big? brands is there ? my only criticism is that the wound strings feel a little rough compared to other more expensive brands. However at this price they are so cheap you can easily afford a new set every time you gig!

Good value

These represent good value for bedroom practice sessions, beginners guitars, etc.

Obviously at this price point, tone & longevity are less than more premium strings out there, but a good place to start & hone your skills on a budget.

Bargain Strings

I wasn't really needing any strings but the price of these made me want to give them a go, so far there's not much difference between these and "high end" strings, obviously for recording/professional use it's probably still better to spend the extra on better strings but for jamming/demo/practice purposes these fill the price point for throw around strings so to speak or even as a budget backup pack for gigs

Good Value

These Strings are okay for the price. They are not too bright and they sound much worse than the D'Darrio but for the price I can't complain. I use them to replace broken Strings until I replace the whole set.

The USA version are much better but I still recommend this for backup purposes.

GREAT FOR THE MONEY

These are extremely cheap to buy, but can match a lot of other brands who charge 10x the amount of these, they last as long as you would expect any strings to and the sound from them is not far off strings going over £15/£20, great buy if you go through strings as quick as me

At this price you might expect these strings to be pretty average but you would be wrong. I would not describe myself as the greatest player in the world but these strings sound perfectly fine on my assortment of electric guitars and, helped by a regular wipe with fast fret last as well as many of the much more expensive stringsI have used over the years.

Excellent value

As with the 9 and 10 string sets, these heavier gauge strings are excellent value for money. At this price you can afford to try out different gauge strings on your guitars. They do the job.
