Reviews around slinky (5.00 of 5)

  • I can't say that I really hear a big difference between them and the Super Slinky Nickel strings that I normally use.
  • They definitely stayed in tune better than the standard super slinky strings
  • I was drawn to them due to the claim that the cobalt produces a louder sound compared to the "normal" super slinky strings
  • I have to say that I was sadly disappointed in the Super Slinky Cobalt strings by Ernie Ball
  • Feel The cobalt strings have a stiffer feel to them than a normal super slinky string, it does not exactly take more pressure to bend a string, but it is most definitely a noticeable difference

Reviews around sustain (5.00 of 5)

  • First, I like their clean, bright and loud sound and find their sustain to be much better than average.
  • often they are great sounding strings good sustain and bright and lasting longer than normal
  • The sustain is fantastic, they were well worth the few extra bucks over regular strings.
  • They stay in tune really well and the sustain truly is amazing
  • They have great sustain, feel silky smooth to the touch, and on a good set of stainless steel frets, they bend like nothing I've ever seen (while managing to stay in tune)

Reviews around quality (4.58 of 5)

  • He said he loves the quality and the price was good also.
  • They soind really cheap and low quality
  • Purchased for my son, he says that they work exactly as he expected and loves the sound quality it gives when he plays.
  • The Cobalt strings seem to last a lot longer before they start going out of tune and losing tone quality, so to me it is well worth the extra cost of getting cobalt strings because I find myself changing them less often.
  • Purchased for my son, he says that they work exactly as he expected and loves the sound quality it gives when he plays.

Reviews around product (4.46 of 5)

  • Although Daddario makes a great product, I'll stick with my new fav for feel and tone.
  • The wound strings (E, A, and D) are entirely too rough to the touch.
  • I think the strings are a great product though and you should defiantly give them a chance.
  • This product already rusted out on my son's guitar about a month later
  • Amazing Product that I'd recommend to any guitarist who never tried them

Reviews around way (4.33 of 5)

  • The treble nature of these strings + 2x9v EMG-81 bridge pickups kept muddling everything together in a weird, not pleasant way
  • A little on the bright side but not in a bad way
  • love the way fuller sound you get out of the 64 fender strat reissue i serviced
  • I also think they sound a bit less bright than regular slinkys - in a good way, still bright, but more balanced.
  • The were clunky, metallic sounding (not in a good way), shredded my fingers

Reviews around thing (3.53 of 5)

  • These strings have more output and sound ok, the thing o don't like is they are rough and somewhat
  • but they don't deserve to be trumped up as the best new thing (like the ads are claiming) since Leo Fender and the double price tag
  • I'm planning on buying another pack for that lone G string and keep the rest as a backup
  • The only thing that has been bugging me is that I just recently ripped apart the G string by accident, it may be because of how hard I was strumming, idk
  • The best thing about these is the tone and the fact that your fretting hand isn't left grey when done a long set.

Reviews around price (3.48 of 5)

  • He said he loves the quality and the price was good also.
  • So, definitely worth the price, and I feel like my axe has a new sound.
  • The price is great, the strings can take a beating, stay in tune pretty well, last just as long as any other string I've used
  • These are the best guitar strings I've ever played and they are sold here at a great price compared to what you would normally find in a music store.
  • I am not a fan of these stings, I do not like how they are wrapped, they create too much drag on my fingers, they tarnish too fast (even when cleaning the strings after playing), and had the bottom E string unravel loose at the bridge and break while playing.

Reviews around set (3.22 of 5)

  • I have NEVER gotten a bad set of Ernie Ball strings.....ever
  • Everything you would expecting from a fresh set of strings
  • I wanted a skinnier set of top strings, and a heavier set of bottoms
  • On top of being a good set of 9s, so the great flexibility is still there.
  • I am not a fan of these stings, I do not like how they are wrapped, they create too much drag on my fingers, they tarnish too fast (even when cleaning the strings after playing), and had the bottom E string unravel loose at the bridge and break while playing.

Reviews around nickel (3.15 of 5)

  • They look and feel a little more rough (grayish) than nickel wound strings
  • I am not a fan of these stings, I do not like how they are wrapped, they create too much drag on my fingers, they tarnish too fast (even when cleaning the strings after playing), and had the bottom E string unravel loose at the bridge and break while playing.
  • They are not as nice in full warm tone as the pure nickels
  • They are not as nice in full warm tone as the pure nickels.
  • Sadly I didn't get a chance to try them out on my amp, because the Hi-E broke (see

Reviews around feel (3.08 of 5)

  • Over all great feel, great tone, and i don't know if it is the guitar or the new strings but there is just rediculous amounts of susstain
  • In the set I used before this, the low E was dull; it didn't match the sound or the output of the other strings
  • I bet you anything you will adjust within seconds and you will appreciate the feel and sound more so than any other strings out there
  • I am not a fan of these stings, I do not like how they are wrapped, they create too much drag on my fingers, they tarnish too fast (even when cleaning the strings after playing), and had the bottom E string unravel loose at the bridge and break while playing.
  • These strings have a very strange feeling to them and do not feel right under my fingers when playing

Reviews around time (3.05 of 5)

  • I am not a fan of these stings, I do not like how they are wrapped, they create too much drag on my fingers, they tarnish too fast (even when cleaning the strings after playing), and had the bottom E string unravel loose at the bridge and break while playing.
  • I suppose beginners who haven't really developed calluses on their finger tips might have a hard time with them, but since my finger tips are pretty tough from playing a lot, that doesn't bother me at all
  • Sound great and last quite a long time while sounding crisp.
  • I tried a set of the more expensive M-Steel's and did not like them at all, not even the feel
  • these strings are insainly strong, last a very long time, but this will mean you have to re-fret your guitar with stainless steal fret-wire.in that note any string will wear your guitar's frets

Reviews around hand (2.33 of 5)

  • The wound strings (E, A, and D) are entirely too rough to the touch.
  • They also feel very rough and gritty on your fretting hand.
  • The best thing about these is the tone and the fact that your fretting hand isn't left grey when done a long set.
  • and when I finally got close enough the A string breaks and stabbed my hand
  • I've never really been able to get used to flats, which lack that tactile response and fretting hand finger bite that rounds

Reviews around string break (1.95 of 5)

  • Not as flexible as they say but feels better than the classical nickel strings
  • Purchased for my son, he says that they work exactly as he expected and loves the sound quality it gives when he plays.
  • but when I put them on my thickest string broke did not even tighten it yet
  • I've had the high E and B string break before, but this is a first
  • I didn't expect that these strings would impress me as much as they did

Reviews around fold (1.00 of 5)

  • I was pretty wrecked at decision time and disoriented from wearing a blind fold playing buzzed up for 4 hours
  • My best friend has the exact same Duo-Sonic as I do and I would play both blind folded with a set of Cobalts on one and any other
  • I put on a dark pair of sunglasses and then a blind fold and was handed the guitar
  • The wound strings (E, A, and D) are entirely too rough to the touch.
