    I've been 2 weeks.
    I love the metal which have and the fact that it is hard asser (for rappot has ernie ball), for themselves against individual does not remain trs long time, but the strings are playable one month at ease with an EXCELLENT playing comfort.
    Why not use it for 7.50: D.

    It's been almost 7 months I use this pulling away. (Having adopted the D'Addario strings there are more than 3 years)
    They are super strong, does not oxidize very quickly, and I never had any break (stop mounted on a rack + bar tune-o-matic).
    From a technical point of view, the draft being 10-52, it's pretty hard! The feeling of power and dynamics is huge (I have a 9-46 shooting). on the other hand, small wrists, refrain - it's quite natural to start! But you get used quickly, the magic D'Addario operating!
    Not expensive either (unless the Ernie Ball)
    I always have a spare set on me, and I buy almost every 3 months, which cost me less than € 40 a year.

    I use these strings for a year, the feature that I like most is their strength, I have not broken a string since their adoption.
    Well maintained, they keep a good sound / justèce long enough.
    The price / quality ratio is excellent.
    In electric, I can not compare with the Ernie Ball (I do not really know the other brands), I wanted to test the DR but after trying the D'Addario 010-046 ELX110 I have no intention to look elsewhere.

    Nag strings, which do not break. I used since I my ibanez silent as it goes with these rods by the former owner.

    super strong ropes. I tried almost everything before and it is the best for me.
    saw the strength, do not worry with the price
    the sound is warm and powerful I like;)

    I use them for about 3 days.

    I like the stiffness of the rope (rigid but elastic)
    I hate the metals they produce are. And that's why I do not buy more Jammes.

    Very good string, but for about the same prices may have Ernie ball (my favorites) and I will immediately change to the Ernie Ball Super Slinky
    same size as this one.

    The money is excellent RAPORT Iroquois string guitar that is not too expensive (by a elexire)

    Audio fanzine demmande if I raferais this choice with the experience and I answer without eSite Jammes. I prefer no doubt Ernie ball super slinky

    I use these strings since I bought my guitar because it was used and that there were these strings on it. The sound that the strings produced is very small in metal but fades quickly with time. Why I use these strings, because I have a licensed floyd rose and string for faitent, are too expensive, and I'm always pleasantly surprised by the strength of these ropes they never let go. Once properly granted its not moving as opposed to ernie balls donations mid acute sense constantly broke and Dean Markley who go out of tune too often.
    For my part I never will change

    I bought a few sets of D'Addario strings 9-42 to make me my opinion
    Before I tried Dean Markley nickelsteel (yuck) and Ernie Ball (the nice ones)

    And although many seem to like this brand scratch bin I find these chords too soft relative to the EB of the same draft (yes I know the gentleman at the bottom says exactly the opposite, strange all the same: d), I do they produce no sound I feel like I have less sustain. Furthermore I feel they oxidize at the speed of light and even in the cleaning and playing with clean hands. They seem strong enough for cons. The price is very correct but for me not at all convinced by these strings I'd rather pay a little more for another brand.

    I use them for one month what I hate the sound produced by both sides I find them too hard too hard to the touch they really lack flexibility
    I do not repeat this choice and for my part I think I'll return to DEAN MARKLEY BLUE STEEL
    In conclusion strings for little people demanding on the quality of sound and with reinforced fingertips

    As usual 'with the strings, opinions vary widely among people ... In any case I personally use them for over a year, having test APRS Dean Markley (the basic chords, say anything spcial), GHS (I got too soft, wear out too fast with my game and my fingers), Gibson and Fender (I call him too well but I had not be super confident), and these are the best for me.

    They are quite hard and give a feeling of CONTRL, accuracy and power trs cool. The bright sound of new strings disappears rather quickly (one or two hours of play) but that's normal: their "real" is a string rodes. Once that is done, the sound DGRAD trs slowly, so much so that I tend to wait trs long before replacing them.

    In add…

    In addition, more than a year I have only one cass (APRS by connecting several back and forth between standard tuning and open ground, that the strings apprcient rarely. And she had more than a month).

    Finally, D'Addario are two teams of "gadgets" so nice that I do not understand why other brands are not doing much: that colors the ends vitent btement of error strings in the amount, and the bag that being protected from corrosion before you mount them.

    Short strings idalie for me (on pitch Fender: Gibson for a tune they are a bit soft, I prfre the 11-49), but it got much a question of: to sound "new" or that lasts for flexible cords trs, see the competition.

    I use these strings in recent weeks. I am satisfied with TRS, the noise mtallique CHARACTERISTICS new ropes quickly fades and they rsistent my shots much vibrato.

    Edit: APRS just over a month they are still in place. They have blackened but the sound is still ok.

    Then I played 2 years with Ernie Ball, and one day I wanted to change to those of, what I found: they oxidize more slowly, they are cheaper
    So better than EB (for me)

    after the sound 'bright' new ropes last as long, but since their lifetime is much greater bah me enough for me.

    so it's not perfection in strings, but they are of very good quality and reasonably priced.

    For best results choose sound elixir
