I bought these guitar strings for my husband, and they’ve exceeded our expectations. He plays regularly, and these strings offer a perfect balance of tone, feel, and durability. The nickel winding gives a smooth, consistent feel across all frets, and the sound is bright without being harsh, making it. perfect for both rhythm and lead playing. What makes these sets stand out compared to others we’ve tried is their reliability and consistency. Every set in the box felt exactly the same as the last, which is a huge plus if you restring frequently. They also hold tuning well, even with heavy strumming or bending notes, and resist corrosion better than other strings we’ve used. For anyone looking for high-quality, long-lasting strings at a reasonable price, this 10-pack is a smart buy. My husband’s guitar sounds incredible, and he’s thrilled to have plenty of sets on hand. Definitely a purchase we’d make again.

Constantly using these for clients in our guitar shop if they don't bring them with them when we ask them what they want many many of them say this brand of string they string up great they seem pretty stretched they don't stretch out a lot so they tune quickly and if you keep them clean they last a very long time and they're great value for the money

I've been playing D'Addario strings for over 30 years now and I've bought hundreds of sets over the years. I've tried many others in the past, but now I just figure why bother, nothing has ever exceeded them, and usually other brands come up short. D'Addario strings never seem to have problems like excessive breakage, old/tarnished strings, or just inferior tone/quality that I have experienced with others. I buy both acoustic and electric strings, and also bass strings, although acoustic is my main instrument. If I have one tip for you, it's this. If you are wondering why you can't get the vintage sound of 70s acoustic guitars or earlier, BUY THE D'ADDARIO 80/20 ACOUSTIC STRINGS. Personally I live for this sound and I consider it the ultimate and most superior tone of tones. If you want the modern acoustic sound (1980s onward), then sure, buy Phosphor Bronze or the coated strings. But those 80/20 D'Addario strings are the holy grail imo. I also consider these strings (EXL140 light top/heavy bottom) to be the pinnacle of electric strings, but honestly, if you play only heavy metal, maybe try the Pro Steels, and if you only play blues, maybe try the Pure Nickel instead of Nickel Wound. But these to me are the Goldilocks strings, perfect, right down the middle, balanced, tough, stay in tune really well. You can't go wrong. The heavy bottom really helps eliminate string buzz and gives a solid strong bass, while the light top allows for great bending and perfect playability.

These are the best electric guitar strings, used by almost everyone who doesn't have an endorsement deal with a competitor. Last a long time, sound great and very consistent tone and feel and tuning stability.

For the price you pay, these are fine, but they are just what D'Adarrio says, BRIGHT. If you play a bright guitar like a Telecaster with an all-maple neck, the brightness can be too much. On the other hand, if you want a .095 set, you have few options. Ernie Ball Slinkys are true vintage and hard on your fingers, DR Tite Fits are inconsistent, Curt Mangan strings sound beautiful but string tension is much higher, GHS Nickel Rockers were wonderful but discontinued in .095 size. If you're someone who wallops strings causing them to die prematurely, the extreme brightness of these strings might be a plus. I use 'em because they're 100% consistent and cheap. When they start to go, they mellow out nicely so I guess you could say they have extremely long life.

i have been using these strings for 30 years. Quality strings. Clear sound, long lasting if you keep them clean. I also use the XL-120 - 9 gauge strings.

The strings are great, not the best, as they are daddario's entry level, but they are really decent for their price, and they deliver. I find this box to be perfect, you can take each string you need really easily, and i really liked the rubber plug it has that keeps them sealed! Very satisfied. Have been re-stringing my guitar with this single box for about 2 years now.
