They really are excellent strings in their own right. I am unable to detect any difference in the quality of sound from my guitar. They settled down very nicely after a couple of hours play.. A good six weeks down the line and I'm still happy with the sound and I've had no breakages. My conclusion is, that for me, they are easily as good as the other hexagonal core coated strings packaged by a different company. I will be absolutely happy to place a further bulk order.

I can't really hear the difference between the (shall stay nameless) but significantly more expensive coated sets I normally use and these who are a quarter of the price. Maybe I was lucky but in honesty I can't find anything bad to say about them. Like some of the Thomann guitars that are markedly cheaper than the big branded names but rival them in quality and playability, so are these strings so far. I will be ordering more sets but don't take my word on it. Try them for yourself. I am happy.

I have put them on a spare guitar I use for rehearsing and I have to say I'm impressed. I am a rough strummer and suffer quite a bit from string breaks. So far with the first set no string breaks, which if I'm honest I half expected to be an issue. The tone is pleasing and bright and they appear to be holding the tone. I do use GHS Fast Fret on the strings to help prolong life of strings. But still they seem to be lasting longer than standard strings such as D'Addario's, Martin's or GHS strings. I bought 5 sets. When I have used all 5 sets I will return and update the review if needed. If for nothing but a spare or back up guitar,
I would not hesitate to recommend these strings. The price is favorable & Thomann own brand products are well selected by their buyers. As a result Thomann are developing a solid reputation in their own brand range for quality, reliability and affordability. Thank you guys for all your hard work.

They remind me of D'Addario EXP strings, with a nice tone, and a nice feel. Not as slippery as Elixirs, but nicer feeling than Cleartone. Considering they costs less than an average package of uncoated strings, if these last even a tiny bit longer than uncoated they will be well worth the money. I will be back for more - these are so cheap that if you buy a few at a time, even factoring in the postage to the UK, these are a bargain.

Deze gecoate 012 set klinkt zeer verassend en voelen goed. Het geluid is wat meer treble en de lage tonen zijn aangenaam maar niet overheersend. zijdezachte hoge tonen, erg mooi ! Toch heb ik het gevoel dat de coating teveel dempt in in de midden frequenties in tegenstelling tot de ongecoate variant die meer open klinkt. Het voordeel van de gecoate snaren zit hem in de duurzaamheid en dan is voor deze prijs en voor thuisgebruik deze snaar gewoon een zeer goed produkt. In mijn optiek zeker vergelijkbaar met de gecoate Daddario snaren maar dan een stuk goedkoper. Goed produkt Thomann !

However, one string tarnished (D string) very quickly. I'm not sure if its just an unlucky bad string or something that is common in these sets. having said that I've had two sets of D'addario EXP coated strings that are much more expensive and also had problems with one or two strings tarnishing quickly and in fact having corrosion specks on them as new.
I've not had this problem with Elixier strings which so far for me have been perfect on opening and lasted for a long time without corrosion or tarnish signs.
Still to the point on these strings, they're still pretty good for the money and would certainly buy them over D'addario EXP's.

These strings make no exception: for less than 5 euros you get a good string set for your acoustic guitar; of course if you play guitar just to have fun as a second instrument, maybe you won't put much effort in choosing a new set of strings. That's what these are for.
They are not EXCELLENT strings and most likely a professional guitarist would go for something better suited for his needs and tastes, but for a back up they work just fine.
Recommended as back up strings or if you are just starting guitar and you want to have that new string feeling without spending too much.

I was expecting pretty crappy strings to be honest and I was quite surprised when it turned out they were acually good.
If you're an audiophile, you might not appreciate them, but if you're looking for alright-sounding strings at a good price, try a pack of these.

I wasn't expecting too much for the price..
But I was pleasantly surprised, a great brightness and consistency to the tone.
inexpensive / good quality.
Will I use them again... Yes I definitely will..

Obviously not quite as good as their more expensive counter parts but I have got used to them and have no problem with them at all. Unless there is a special offer going I will be staying with these HB strings for the foreseeable future.
