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?

Sound:
They sound perfect from the start till you change them. I get great tone and never have used others that sound better.

Support:
Never had any issues.

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.

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.

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.

i've been using ernie ball 10's(on Fenders) and 11's (on Les pauls) since I was 11 years old. I do about 250 gigs a year and I've tried other strings over the years but the ernie balls sound the best. I also change my strings just about every day I'm going to gig on the gtrs I'll be using. But even when I'd let the strings stay on a couple of days they always seemed to sound good. I Like D'adarrios electric strings too much but I do like the Acoustic sets they make.

Location: Ipswich, UK

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.

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.

Desirability:
It's yellow, looks a bit cooler than some strings.

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.

Ease of Use:
They play fairly nicely, loose there bright tone quite quickly

Support:
No idea, not used them.

Overall:
Seem to be ok, I prefer the D'darios, seems to suit my guitar much better.
