Pros & 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.
Cons
Completely covered in black grime and rusty. Longevity and stability is awful an entire 3 seconds. Ridiculous and unusable. At the price inexcusable.

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

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

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

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
