Prone to string breakage
I've had two sets and both D-strings ended up breaking at the tuning post—one while tuning it up for the very first time and the other snapping after a re-tune. I installed them the way Ernie Ball recommends on the packaging. They sound very close to roundwound strings with the typical zing-like tone, which is definitely a plus. However, due to the frequent breaking, I cannot recommend this product.

Came out of the package with bits of oxidation (or whatever it is)
Purchased almost a year ago, I have only opened the packaging today (sort of lost the strings for several months).
I was a bit disappointed to see that there were tiny blotches of whatever the proper chemical term is for the thing.
Doesn't seem to affect anything, strings sound nice, a bit zingy to start with but I am sure it'll wear out.
