Good for playing Metal

Mats Bing 20.12.2020

Did not like the sound of these, they sound harsh. They probably work really good playing metal. I don't play metal...
Output of pickups was great.

Bright, louder, a bit agressive but I miss the warmth

nightingale 26.04.2018

These strings sound brighter than the regular slinky's, louder and a bit more aggresive. I tought those strings would be my partner for a more rock/metal style I play . First I was happy with their sound and they last a bit longer than the regular slinky's but after a while noticed I missed the warmth that the regular slinky's gave me so I switched back to the regular ones

Surprisingly good!

MI12 01.11.2020

I use these strings on a fairly dark sounding guitar and I'm in live with the sound I can get out of them. Tension seems increased, which I like, almost as if going up string gauge by 0.5.
They also seem to last quite a while. Never managed to break any of them either.
Very happy with these strings

The only strings for me

Aron96 16.02.2021

Ive been using these for about 5 years now. There's just no beating the high end response and clarity, even a month after putting them on. I used to change strings every 2 weeks ( apparently my hands corrode strings very fast, even with cleaning after every use)

Pros: Improved response in high frequencies
Improved overall output
After initial stretch they hold tune perfectly
Dont seem to corrode as fast as nickels (about twice the life)

Cons: price
Different (not at all bad) feel

All in all a very nice set of strings, worth the money in my opinion, if for nothing else, just to push your amp just that little bit more.
