Bend and pinch harmonic easier than others
I have not had these strings on for very long but right away I noticed how much easier bending was and pinch harmonics seemed to be more natural. Great feel and sound good to.

Good strings / But if you usually prefer Super Slinky read this.
I usually use Super Slinky so if your like me and wanted to try these, here is a comparison from my opinion.1. These feel more "stringy" like looser and more wirey to play, the Super Slinky felt more thick and heavier.2: Cobalt is much brighter so if you play a more acoustic type style you will notice a pretty big difference. almost has a small sitar type of reverberation.3: Cobalt seemed to pick up a bit stronger on my pickups, sounded great with heavy distortion. With the extra brightness you could really make each string shine, just seemed to be lacking in the lower tones I needed and felt stringy. Super's provided a lower tone as well as the extra firmness I needed when playing.Overall I had to go back to super slinky, but may slap them on an extra rig for some distorted fuzz fun.

Best, Most Responsive, Strings for my PRS Semi-hollow
These strings REALLY rock out!!! You get some great growl out of them, they are flexible and they just sound like they sparkle! The heavier gauge is what I was looking for and the Cobalt give them a lot of bite! They sound warm with a lot of high end and deep bass. Very easily broken in. Great strings in my opinion for the money, I’d buy them even if they were double the price.

They do exactly what they're advertised for!
I bought these for my Schecter SVSS Green Reign which uses the Sustaniac pickup in the neck. These reacted a lot better than your standard nickel coated strings and sound warmer as well with very good mid-range!!! They're a bit easier to keep clean initially also and wipe down easier. The Cobalt coating also feels better on my fingers. I've tried other Teflon coated strings and don't like them as it actually does deaden the sound. Sure they last longer because they're easier to keep clean but I've had too many sets that leave ePTFE dust in your pickup cavity pockets AND the most popular brand? Your getting GHS Boomers at an inflated price with Teflon coating. $6.95 string set with Teflon is now $15.95 each if purchased in bulk. I worked for the company that produces these for 17 years. You're being scammed!

Very bright but don't last very long.
I love the bright jangly tone these strings produce, even on my Epiphone Les Paul humbuckers they really sound awesome! They feel light and are easy on the fingers. I haven't had any issues keeping them in tune either.They do get dull rather quickly compared to the standard Ernie Ball strings. I can get a little more than a month out of them before they start to sound muddy with around 1 hour of daily practice. If I had another guitar I would totally keep it set up with these strings, but they just don't sound good for long enough to use exclusively. Definitely worth a shot if you're looking for a brighter tone.

Amazing strings, worth the hype!
I installed these strings onto my ESP guitar as soon as I got them in the mail, and I must say it was worth the wait. The first thing I noticed was the feel. These strings are silky smooth, even the low E string. The second thing I noticed was the durability. As I pulled the string across the fretboard I noticed the reaction these strings have to the magnetic pickups...just like Ernie Ball claims, these strings react STRONGLY to magnets. I had to peel these strings off the pickups a few times while I was installing them. Then I noticed the durability of these strings as I tuned them. I felt a fair bit of resistance, much more than my old strings when I first installed them. They're also a lot more sensitive to tuning adjustments, although after leaving them sit for two hours after JUST BEING INSTALLED, they were only 5 cents off on the tuning. A small twitch of the tuning peg and they were back to where they should be. I figured, like any string, I would be fighting with them for the next few days trying to stretch them enough so they'll stay in tune without constant adjustment, but this is my third day of playing with them and they have stayed in perfect tuning since I installed them. I can't guarantee they will work for you the same way, but I know they will hold up to a lot more abuse than many other strings I've used so far. The final thing I noticed was the TONE. These strings sound quite a bit different, they have a much tighter mid to high and they seem to have less of a tendency to chaotically overlap each other's sound. Each string has a distinctive tonality that sets them apart from each other. You play the same note on different strings and you can easily hear the difference between the two. Sustains seem to last forever, and the clarity is incredible...only problem I'm having is trying to explain how it sounds in words...if you decide to buy them, try them with distortion and without, you'll be impressed by their versatility.To summarize,-Strong reaction to the magnets in pickups-Stay in tune very well (for me at least)-Sharp, clear tone-Each string is distinguishable from another-Durable-Silky smoothIf you have any questions, shoot a comment if you want, but I am telling you, I would not hesitate to try these strings at least once.

EB Slinky Cobalt Mammoth(62-12)
These strings are nice!! They sound so heavy in C standard. The bass resonates really well in the 4th,5th,6th strings. The wound 3rd string is nice too. Awesome sound, and the thicker strings are amazing for that heavy sound when tuned lower than D standard. Definitely will be getting another set, and another set of 52-11 for when I want to play in standard. But really great strings so far, really good sound and quality, and definitely worth a try if you like playing in lower tuning

Very nice strings
I used original Slinky strings for the last 20 years and I decided to try the newer cobalt version and I am really impressed by them. The sound output is louder and it is warmer than the original's. The sound quality does not drop as fast as the original's so they effectively last longer.String tension is a tad higher than the original. So you should have your guitar setup redone as it's going to mess with your neck relief and intonation.I ran into problems with 2 .009 stings (which broke instantly) and Ernie Balls were quick to help me and replace them free of charge. Great service!!!I am happy with these stings and I don't plan to go back to the originals.
