I replaced 2 of the 4 strings with D'Addario preludes when I accidentally broke them by using the wrong peg for the wrong string and I actually prefer the sound of the stock strings, they seem more articulate

Loose pegs & cheap strings

A few criticisms: the pegs aren't all the same size, and one of them has a horrible time holding a tune due to being too small for the hole

The E string broke after a few plucks
