Pros

Ernie ball is the only company i buy strings from. Quality wise and longevity wise, they are up there with the best. The sound production of the top 3 strings is great when playing chords. These are my go-to string that i recommend to everybody.

Price

For only $7, these strings are very good.

Bought them for a beautiful 1970 fender stratocaster i found at a yard sale for $10, now learning to play!

Shipping

Received next day, so there is that.

Packaging/appearance

Unlike the crap packaging others are using.

Competitiveness

I've tried other brands in this price range and i do not see a difference.

That's ok, because they are quite cheap compared to some other brands.

Other brands in this price range have dumb packaging and make opening a pack of strings a headache.
