Sound: They sound perfect from the start till you change them. I get great tone and never have used others that sound better. Feature: What features are on strings?? The package is nice they come in. LOL Quality: Never have broke one ever. You get a great string for the price. I bought some D'Adario's before and only got 5 strings. Then my dad bought some like a week later and the same thing happen. Value: One of the cheapest price, but best sounding. How can you go wring with that? Manufacturer Support: Never had any issues.

Back to Product Information
Sound: I have had many different strings and this is head and shoulders ahead of have ever used before. The sound is perfect. I have only been playing a few months so i don't have the best of amps and i have an average guitar but with these strings it really does make even the most amature of players sound better. Quality: Once again a perfect 10, what can i say. Best strings i have used. Value: Cheap as anything, buy as many as you can for stock. Worth it. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed any. Overall: Pure quality, sound is amazing, worth every penny. Not much more i can say to be honest apart from i can guarantee these are the only strings i shall be getting from now on.

Back to Product Information
Sound: Sound pretty nice, been using them for a while but recently started using D'darios. I think the ernie balls arn't quite as warm and round. Feature: Well... hard to say there just a set of strings. Saying that, I've snapped alot of them, something I haven't done witht he D'darios. Ease of Use: They play fairly nicely, loose there bright tone quite quickly Quality: Like I said, I've snapped alot!! Value: Cost the same as any other set of strings really, so not a great score. There are better strings for the money. Manufacturer Support: No idea, not used them. The Wow Factor: It's yellow, looks a bit cooler than some strings. Overall: Seem to be ok, I prefer the D'darios, seems to suit my guitar much better.

Sound: Maybe I got a bad batch or something again(as this is the third time in a row I've bought Ernie Ball strings giving them the benefit of a doubt), but I can't see why people love these things. The sound is so flat and boring. There's no dynamics to them. I'd just as soon use fishing line on my guitar. Feature: You get six individually packed strings. Not much else. Then again, what else do you need? Ease of Use: You'd think they'd be easy to install. NO! I tuned the heaviest string to only C flat before it snapped. I only wanted to tune to D! The others were not problematic. It sucks only having 5 strings without a backup. Quality: These strings suck. As I mentioned earlier, the tone is horrendous, the strings snap before they're in tune, and I hate them. Value: If you're desperate for cheap strings, this is for you. Otherwise get something else. Manufacturer Support: I never bothered, so I can't really give them a bad score. The Wow Factor: The packaging is in a really bright color, so it does catch your attention. The low price is attractive too, but don't bother. I know I won't ever repeat this mistake. Overall: I will never buy anything from Ernie Ball ever again. I want my money back! Furthermore, these strings are the worst value in the market. Don't even consider these awful strings.
