Unfortunately worse than the regular Valuestrings
Louis W 09.07.2023
Within a week of relatively heavy playing (playing a lot, but with a light touch), these strings go bright orange. They don't sound any different, but the coating has been decimated and look like they're rusting.

Bearing in mind that I've never had a set of Valuestrings snap, I have found a weird phenomenon with these Quality Series. The High E, for some reason, constantly breaks at the ball end. Completely unties itself from the ball and pulls through the bridge after a session of blues bends. Genuinely makes me terrified to play these strings on a gig because I know for a fact they'll snap if I'm taking a few solos.

Rather ironically I'll be sticking with the Valuestrings that are half the cost but significantly more durable.

As always, if you can afford the brand name, get them - IMO nothing beats the value of regular slinkys, but the Valuestrings are a GREAT replacement considering you can get 3 packs for the price of 1 set of Ernie Balls. Just don't buy these ones.

A false economy
TomGoss 21.05.2023
These start off fine and seem like good quality strings. They don't feel cheap.
But very, very soon you will have black fingertips and the strings have become 'old'...dull and coppery looking.
To be worth using you'll need to change these often, so just get better strings that don't need to be changed so often, nor blacken your fingertips. You'll be better off in the long run.
