but I had a string break while tuning down on first use

With the D'addarios I can bend as hard as I can possibly can, and I've never had a string break on me... and they just

I am a pretty aggressive player and when other strings break for me within about two weeks these last for months.

Immediately out of the package the second string broke which has never happened to me before, with any string provider

I've never in my life broken a string from just playing my guitar ever, and these strings did just that, I was practicing a Hollywood Undead song and had the D string break, yeah waste of money.

I have been using these strings for years, so the second string breaking was clearly a very random fluke, and along with replacing my set they even sent me an extra second string for good measure

, it really helped with the buzzing and sustain but it had a more metallic sound, not as rich and warm as the NYXL's , and a couple of days later they felt rusty and the High E string broke during a very light bend

Played a couple hours and the bottom string broke

Excellent customer service, and as for the strings themselves: well I bought them because they are my favorite after years of trial, and its certainly no different for a pack of 8 string

The EB Classic Rock N Roll 10-46 set that I previously preferred is half the price of the NYXLs

The G string broke prematurely and has been replaced with a DR Pure Blues of the same gauge

Four of the six strings are obvious to me just by looking at them, but the D and the G are very hard for me to tell apart and the color coding doesn't help me a bit

Strings are nice and bright, like advertised, but the high E was tarnished in a few spots

Probably my favorite string (at least at the moment)... really nice heavy gauge strings, I got the 1150BT balanced tensions ones, so the 50 low E is especially nice since it's a little heavier than a normal 48, but not quite as chunky as a 52

: High E snapped at post during stringing, G & B sticky to slide due to the nature of the metal alloy (couldn't even test the high E), not as easy to bend as advertised - the gauges I run feel like a heavier gaugeToo many negatives to warrant the price

The A to the high E are fine but the low E ruins everything.
