Oh aye
Excellent set of strings. Lovely tone compared to the Ernies I used to get. Got away with a 2.5 step bend & all!

Great low tuning strings
I used Ernieball strings for years but made the switch to these recently and I'm genuinely impressed, they feel smoother and have much better elasticity, I find these much more comfortable to use.

Great strings - for me, the NYXLs give the best feel under the fingers and the biggest sound I have ever gotten from strings on my various guitars over the years. Have been buying them ever since the range was launched. Used to get 10s, then hybrids for a while, quick test of the 11s, and now 12s... Found my perfect strings ;) (Longevity is based on previous strings I have used from this range - haven't had these ones long enough to give a real review there, but so far they're looking as good as ever...)

Badass if you like your low tuned Metal!
If you enjoy bands like Our Hollow Our Home, Carcer City, Bury Tomorrow and Erra then these strings are perfect! I have mine set so the strings are still really tight in low tunings! You could probably tune to Drop G# whilst keeping good retention!

Great strings with impressive stability
Very good string. More stable tuning than I have come across in any other strings. They last longer than normal strings but not as long as elixer coated strings. They are expensive however and id say they are right on the edge of being worth it at this price point.

They’re ok but have some issues I found
Ok been playing live since I was 16 I’m now 56 and I think we’ll adapted to every aspect of guitars I also work on them and have built a few Been using nyxl over the last year First they’re stiffer ever so slightly So I had to drop to 8s from 9s We’ve been logging our rehearsals by video on iPhone and have noticed a distinct warble on various chording like a slight chorus effect Like the pockups are too high etc Which they’re not They also have a louder sound and brighter But seem to pronounce themselves more and not your guitar or amp character if you know what I mean they are the sound but you loose that earthy feeling They basically sound too modern for me Plus the eights would not stay in tune great Any other strings I have no issue For the money na I’m back on Ernie ball gives me more of a vintage sound Just my opinion ✌️

Just to be clear: this review is for Amazon’s delivery experience. The product itself is quite good. I order strings on a regular basis and more often than not, I receive used, broken ones, possibly returned from another customer. This coupled with the frequent delays in delivery and exchange has driven me to write this review. Amazon really needs to work on their delivery experience and QC.

these 8-38 NYXL strings are my favorite. They are durable and easy to play and feel good. The only downside is the price.

Notes sounds nice, feel good. Easy on the fingers. Very unstable tuning, chords sound terrible.
