Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The price is reasonable, excellent if you buy in bulk (i got a 25 pack of med top-hvy bottom) which i'll be putting on all of my studio and home guitars. D'addario's nyxl strings really give you that sense of feeling when you play them. Still have yet...  Read More

They're tone seems to be more consistent and less harsh than ernie ball. The feel a bit lighter than the. I'm definitely a newb and if i'm saying the same things about em that these other guys are saying you should take heed.

I know it seems like i don't know how to tune a guitar in some viewers eyes but i do and they blew before they ever made it. Not very impressed with these. But do not recomend them.

Instead of sounding and feeling dead from the micro corrosion that just happens with uncoated strings, the nyxls sounded and fe...  Read More

Price


Great value for the money if you have multiple guitars you need to change strings on


Picked up a guitar that hasn't been touched in months and was still in tune, mind you this wasn't a high end guitar either just...  Read More


They cost a little more but for the convenience / long life i feel they are worth the price.


The only downside is they’re very expensive but they claim they last longer.

Competitiveness


I know comparing old strings to new ones is hard to measure but, i bought a new guitar and played on it for a day or two then i...  Read More

    I hated the colored ball ends but now im getting over myself and trying them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They can be a bit buzzy if you over strum without muting the low e or a as they will probably sit lower in the nut


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
