Pros & Cons
Pros
Durability of d'addarios with great sound at half the price. They make my nylon acoustic look way cooler. The value is surreal.
The black color contrasts nicely against clearer fingerboard woods like beech. The ball end make the set a breeze to install (no need to tie a knot) these strings look like the ones i used about 50 years ago in saigon vietnam.
These have the ball end so it doesn't slip out of the holes when tightening/tuning. Ball ends feel like cheating but they are quick and easy. They adjust quickly and stay in tune, and they are no squeaky.
Cons
The second set on my gianinni classical are now only 10 months old and already corroded. Never buying these again. Worth only about 1 buck per set, not that selling price. Avoid these duds.
These look nice and sound ok at first, but just fade away too quickly. Feel like a plastic noodle on the low end. Sorry ernie; just wasn't having a ball.
Highlights
Quality
Excelent sound and quality my son love the new sound in his classic guitar
Super easy to change out and sound quality is pretty good.
D string shredded and broke after 1 day
I just has it for a week and never stay in tune, always has to tune it.
Price
Bought these to replace strings on an inexpensive guitar.
Great strings at a great price, as are all of the strings made by ernie ball.
Paying $30 to have someone do this for you is either laziness, or you should buy a cheaper guitar if you’re that worried about ... Read More
Surely you can afford $7 every 2-3 weeks and just get used to tuning them up before playing.
Shipping
This came in a timely fashion and was as expected.
Packaging/appearance
My package came only with 5 stings.
The silver and black gives a subtle, unique look
Competitiveness
Sound is better than any other similar price string i had.

I tried out these on a steel string i restrung a 100 dollar steel string acoustic with these nylon strings and other than having to lower the tension on the truss a little bit they work nicely i acctually tried three different brand ball on nylon strings i tried martin classical d’addario nylons and these and i actually prefer these the high strings sounded the best crisp and clear
