I won't be using any other strings: these ones strike the right balance between clear sound, ease of bending and sliding, all in all the best electric guitar strings I've ever fitted on my guitars.
The thick bottom gauge gives a very welcome extra oomph to your sound. Try them and you'll be hooked!

Beefy tone, perfect for shorter scales
Greaser777 11.07.2019
I use these on a Squier Mustang which is a shortscale that came with 9's. it felt like spaghetti. Now my guitar plays great. The 3 bass strings allow me to strum powerful beefy power chords and the lighter treble strings still allow me to bend. I was really impressed by the tone of the cobalt vs nickel wound. I can really feel the difference. My guitar nearly sounds like an acoustic when unplugged, and I can feel the increased output when I use the amp or when I plug it in the DAW for recordings.

Great for drop tuning!

I've used these strings for years now on my guitars that I alternate between E standard and dropped D. They sound great and feel great. A bit different, not necessarily in a negative way, from your regular slinkies or D'addarios. Very smooth. Only con I have experienced so far is that I have to take really good care of them or they will start to feel old quite fast. Luckily I take good care of my strings, so these are great!

Cobalt strings
Niklas7661 20.01.2014
Being a user of the regular Ernie ball skinny top Heavy bottom I wanted to try these to compare them.
I really liked the feel of the strings, and throughout the time I used them they maintained that new-string feeling which was a great plus.
The sound was somewhat darker, in a good way without loosing clarity.
If these strings had the same price as regular Ernie ball-strings I would probably use them more often.
