Very Disappointed
I ordered 10 packs of these budget strings for quite a simple reason.
My daughter plays and goes through strings at an alarming rate. As a (15 year old) teenager with hormones etc. she has developed extremely corrosive sweat which wipe strings out in days, it's like she's on tour every night. Happens even with Elixers and coated strings, I simply cant afford to replace them at the rate she goes through them, so I tended to stick with D'dardios and even that is too expensive for me at the rate needed.
I saw these and the good reviews and at the price thought I'll try a load even if I'm changing them every day at this price it's OK, it's a way forward for her to be able to practice on a regular basis without discommfort.
I hate writing negative things but these are absolute garbage and a total waste of money even at this price.
Just finished a restring and tuning up - ping snap ping snap, giving them a little stretch out like is always need ping snap.
The packaging is fine, but strings are often kinked, they also feel like strings that have already been played a while.
Very very poor, I would avoid and even advise Thomann to stop selling them. This is certainly a case of you get what you pay for. Unfortunately it doesn't matter what I pay for due to her problem and cost, but at least they don't snap on tuning and stretching out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought 10 packs and wanted to like them
Strings sound ok, not an issue. The problem is that they break like crazy. I can’t play for more than about 20 minutes with a string breaking. Now I’m stuck with a bunch of strings that can’t be used for gigs or studio. Buyer Beware!!

Value strings if you don't care about sound
I am not against trying and purchasing "value" items as I have had good buys in the past. Like the Harley -Benton bass strings which are OK. However sometimes, it is a waste of money.
And I frankly cannot find anything valuable beside the price about those strings. I had to use two sets to restring my guitar because the wire of one of them just detached itself from the holding ring at the bridge.
Also the strings don't really unroll. They stay coiled. Weird thing!
The sound is weak and mat sounding.
I restrung immediately my guitar with better ones.

NOT Ernie Ball Slinky's
Bought these because some of the reviews compared them favorably to Ernie Ball Slinky's. These aren't even in the same galaxy as Ernie Ball's. First thing I noticed when opening the package was how much smaller these were coiled compared to other strings. This can cause damage to the strings by coiling them too tight distorting the structure of the strings. They could not stay in tune and sounded horrible. Cheaper for me to throw away than to return so that's what I did.

Awful strings, they're like Coat Hangers. Awful sound awful quality - would not buy again. Cheap but you're better off using a bit of chain link fence if you don't have the money to buy decent strings
