Great strings, stay in tune and are more firm.
Great strings for a firmer and more in tune time, i play multiple genres but 90 percent of the time its rock and metal. Ive always played with ernie balls ranging from 9-42 to 10-46 and even hybrid string sets and i think I like these more, in general i can tell they are more firm and they have a fresh sound even after like 2 weeks of playtime, they seem to sound even and they are much more firm instead of loose feeling (slinky) and its not a bad thing because You get used to it but I think in regular E-standard tuning they're not as easy to bend as lightweight gauges but you can still bend all You want, the lowest tuning I've tried with these so far is C sharp tuning so think of black sabbath and they weren't crazy floppy or anything, they held up very well and i expect them to hold up even more.

You wanted the best, you got the best
These are the black magic of the guitar world. They’re dirt cheap, they don’t make any sense, and they can handle tunings as low as C# standard even though they’re .10’s. And I say ‘handle’ because these are somehow able to stay taut at places where other strings of identical gauge would become noodles. I broke one of these trying to tune it a half step over standard, which is pretty typical for me when I’m using light gauge strings. BLACK. MAGIC. This sounds kind of negative but these are my favorite strings in the world. They shine like bridge cables and the tone is diamond hard. I’ve been only using Dunlop heavy cores on a few of my guitars for over two years, now. Get a set, tune below standard, and enjoy your stable intonation on those insane two-step bends. I put these on my Mustang, half a step down, and if you want to do pull-offs until your fingers bleed, by god, that is the way to do them.

Nice playing so far
Would be 5 stars but strings are all wrapped together so I had 5 strings laying around while inside the low E. Strings seem good thus far. I didn't stretch them much and so far I've had to return a little each time I've picked the guitar up.

Quality strings
I have yet to break a string with Dunlops. They're strong, feel smooth, and last for months. These Heavy Core strings sound loud and have a big midrange tone. Compared to normal Dunlop strings, they have a little more tension, and this is good because lower tunings don't sound floppy. They're still as comfortable to play as the normal strings too. I recommend these strings for rock and metal players, but they're also good if you just want a louder and present sound.

Stabile Saiten
Langlebige, im Tuning sehr stabile Saiten, bei mir in der 10-48-Variante auf diversen Gitarren seit ca. 15 Jahren im Einsatz.

Amazing strings for metal chug.
Sound great, clear but warm. Let's the midst and highs cut through. Great sustain. Take lots of abuse from the Floyd, and still hold tune. Last a while as well. Highly recommend for low tunings.

Excelente sonido y relación calidad-precio
Muy buen sonido y sensación. Recientemente mandé a servicio mi PRS SE Paul Allender, la cuál tengo afinada en D (un tono completo abajo) y el resultado es bastante satisfactorio, el sonido en las cuerdas bajas se siente lleno y bastante cálido incluso con un fretwrap, mientras que las cuerdas altas tienen brillo y la tensión adecuada. Hasta ahora la afinación se ha mantenido excelente, aún abusando del trémolo y haciendo bendings y dives. Hasta ahora mis cuerdas favoritas para afinaciones graves en mi PRS.
