    • the thicker EAD allow for some great chording tone for rock, while the slightly skinnier top strings allow bending to still be easy enough that I'll actually want to do it
    • nice tone
    • It gives a nice full tone without being too heavy or too light
    • These have a nice tone and sound great, they will last year's if you wipe them down after you play everytime
    • Full rich tones for your low strings and fast easy-playing on the higher.
    • They stay in tune better than any other string I've used, and the tone is nice and punchy.
    • They have a nice tone and feel.
    • If I 'm using a specific guitar a lot (especially gigging and my bending)) I change strings sometimes every couple of days because they tend to develop a duller tone in a hurry
    • Deep tone, plays well in standard and some of the higher drop tunings.
    • Good tone
    • but they do not hold tone as well as regular super slinky.
    • Get 10's for better tone
    • Stronger rounder tone compared to similar 10 or 9 sets.
    • Terrific sustain, and great tone.
    • I got a deal on some GIBSON 'BRITE WIRES' w/same gauge .46-.09 and they lost their tone so quickly, they weren't worth buying
    • Good tone and flexibility.
    • But hey! who needs bends when you get this fat tone from 11's ?
    • EB strings will always have great tone and feel but the biggest problem is the strings don't last a week for me.
    • And of course, with the classic bright, twangy tone of Ernie Balls, this set of strings is a must-have!
    • Tone improves too, more bottom end.
    • and I play the hell out of my Gibson Les Paul, great tone, long lasting and real Slinky; these strings are not for the faint of heart.
    • The tone is so much richer and crisper than the stock strings
    • these strong's have great tone, only thing is
    • has the classic tone of ernie ball strings, really nice everybody
    • Thicker strings = better tone.
    • Affordable strings with great tone
    • They don't last super long, but the tone is good for the price you pay.
    • , as eventually I get that muddy tone out of them, which is just a personal preference of mine.
    • In my opinion these Slinky's provide a nice tone-to-dollar ratio meaning they sound nice but don't cost as much as some other high priced strings.
    • and I love the deep tone it produces
    • Tone is pretty good, and they can last a bit
    • I love the tone on a strat and they never break
    • I have been using other strings brands for years, this is the firt time i use Ernie Ball and to be honest i liked more than te previous ones, the tone is very
    • very decent and long lasting quality/tone
    • They're generally durable and reliable (don't seem to break too much versus other brands), and have great tone.
    • I really like the tone of these.
    • If you are planning to go with thicker strings for better tone then these should do you as well as any other
    • These are giving me great tone and is still very playable
    • Nice, thick, beefy tone on the low end but the higher strings are thin enough to still be playable, although I wouldn't recommend playing blistering solos on these unless you're already used to that
    • Great tone!
    • These are good strings, they have a good tone and I like them
    • Good tone, good feel, and okay price
    • Perfect for lower than E std tuning, restores tension and action, for more powerful tone in E std, or if you like slightly looser strings in low tuning.
    • Good tone but hard on me finners.
    • Thicker strings = better tone.
    • Super Slinkys the sμ!t
    • Sweet Child O' Mine sounds great with these strings
    • High E breaks long before they should
    • Sound is not good and last e string just broken after tune
    • high e string broke...
    • Perfect for dropped B tuning, and works just fine in standard tuning (although at a half-step higher you risk breaking the high E with some frequency).
    • I bought a set over the summer to put on after breaking yet another E string bending too hard
    • The high E broke in a matter of days
    • 2/3 high e strings broke on initial stringing
    • Furthermore, they are affordable, so if you break your High E, it is worth putting another set on, as opposed to the one string
    • The G (gauge 16) is single-strand nickel-plated steel, like the B and top E, so light and bendable
    • After tuning the guitar up, I snipped the excess from the tuning heads and booom the high E comes off and almost rips my eye out in the process
    • A good tip is to use a light, bendy plectrum, which is pretty much essential for the top E (gauge 9).One caution: these strings are very stretchy and take a few hours to ‘bed in’ during which they go out of tune easily, especially the top two, so best not to fit them immediately prior to a performance
    • The E string broke while trying to tune guitar
