Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

These are my new favorites
Sound
Sick ass man!!! These mofo strings are pretty zesty. Went dull but I was still able to get the trebble I need for technical death metal.
Quality
Worked well just wish they'd last longer.

Basically worth it I wish the longevity would be better.
