Exact description, it does what it's supposed to.
Bought it for my Ibanez 8 String. I must say that in the beginning it was a bit daunting to play a .80 gauge string on a guitar. But with time I got used to it. Great for metal or djent. Very clear sounding.

HEAVY and Light at the same time
If you have an 8 string, and want to keep high tension on the low end strings, while maintaining easy bending ability on the high end, then these are for you!
I bought them mainly for the low end 80 gauge on the 8th string, and then to have a spare set of 9s
If you like to bend or are used to lighter gauge 6 string guitars, then this is the perfect mid ground!

A good balance.
I don't play my 8 too seriously, however since it is a 28" scale I sometimes just track regular solos on it, since I enjoy the intonation. The low string is fine both in F# and E.
If you like the feel of 9's I seriously recommend this particular set.

Dude... Ernie Ball
I've been using EB strings since forever. Cheap, easy to get anywhere, sound great, indestructible.
I have zero motivation to switch to another brand and will probably never do so.
I only wish they had more variety when it comes to 8 string packs but this is ok for my setup.

Fantastic!
Great sound, but maybe heavy bottom is a bit too much.
It's only good if you wanna tune down the low strings

Great strings
I use these for my 26.5 scale 8 string. Unfortunately i have to buy .85 8th string separately because of the scale length and lack of string sets available, as .80 is muddy for my tuning of E, A, E, A, D, G, B, E. Rest of the set fits perfectly though, they sound great and there is nothing wrong with them. Would recommend.

Best strings, especially for the price
Perfect gauge for my multiscale (26.5" - 28") 8 string tuned to drop A with a low E. I haven't ever had any quality issues with Ernie Ball strings.

the perfect fit for my 8
Just the right blend for my fan fret 8.

Great for 8- string guitars
Great for Djent, since the higher strings are loose enough to comfortably solo with, but the lower strings, especially the 8th string, is ridiculously thick, so it gives a really powerful sound
