Defective A string
I have enjoyed Harley Benton items for many years and thought I would give these a try, expecting them to be a good standard and value for money. Sadly, despite very careful cutting (I always make two 90 degree bends in the silk before cutting to save damaging the strings) the A string was defective and rattled from within the string.
I contacted Thomann and offered to send it back for a replacement but they confirmed it was not covered by any warranty.
The whole set has therefore been thrown in the bin.
Don’t risk wasting your money on these like I did.

Is this a joke?
E string snapped as soon as I put the string on the instrument and started tuning.

String unwound
I got a set of these because of the unbeatable price however that was a mistake.
As soon as the strings get under tension they start unraveling and become useless.
I've had lots of decent Harley Benton stuff that was well made but these strings aren't one of those.

Defective A string
Strings E,D,G are nice but the A string is rattling even when not fretted. I checked it on 2 bass guitars that sound perfect with other strings - same result. Now I see that another customer has the same problem with that particular string. It is a shame because the other strings sound fine and all four of them are great to the touch...
