Where you DO WANT to put these on is the guitar you might use for practicing finger gymnastic, a guitar you carry around in your car on a business trip... I put the strings onto a Harley Benton guitar kit - which I have in my office at work, you know, some people do jogging, some do yoga at work, I play guitar dry.
Having said that, the strings are pretty decent and they can be useful even if you play live often.
Imagine you're in the middle of a gig, your string breaks - do you want to unpack a set of expensive strings? No. Just replace it with a single string from this pack and you're good to go.
The price is fantastic, the quality better than the quality (or lack thereof) of no-name/fake name strings you can get off eBay, so when you're onto your next Thomann order, just throw in 2-3 packs to your basket. Heck, this might get you over to the free shipping realm.

Other than that, they'll get you by in a pinch, but they won't hold tuning or stay as fresh as the higher end strings.

And stringing them can be costly, so I gave these a go!
What did I get for my pittance?
Nicely packaged smooth playing, strings with a good balanced tone,I normally buy Ernie balls ,and to be totally honest see no difference in quality except to say these are nicer under the fingers! What's not to like?

These strings sound just as good on my LP Junior as the Ernie Ball Slinkies, there's literally no difference in sound or quality as far as I can tell. The only noticeable difference is the cost, I don't know how Harley Benton manage to keep costs down like this, especially when a pack of Ernie Ball's cost you near on £4-6's on average per single set.
This is another example of Harley Benton looking after the consumer in my eyes and is only testament to Thomann and the Harley Benton brand. I will definitely be using these from now on!
Delivery process was well documented and clear, and arrive very quickly to say they'd come from Germany at this time of year too!
Thanks again for the great service!

But here is the deal - I have put the same size GIBSON BRITE WIRE and DUNLOP NICKEL DEN 1046 strings. I can not tell any difference while playing my guitars. Of course there are many things in play like the guitar pickups, wood, how the neck is joined to the body and color (if you are Billy Corgan), etc.
The bottom line is that these strings will work, they are durable enough for average use and for the price you could expect a lower quality than you get.

They are not as good as D Adario , but they come close. If you play your guitars a lot , than this the way to go , believe me.

They produce a bit more treble compared to other sets, but you can always get as warm as you need with a twist of the tone knob.
They do have a weird coating that goes away after about an hour of play..

Often, you get what you pay for and at this price you may easily be forgiven for thinking they are unplayable. These however, are great value strings. They're not brilliant but they are great for a student/lounge/spare guitar. They have a decent sound and a good life span on them. The strings come well presented and individually wrapped.
UK buyers may recognise the string packets as being similar to the Alice brand of guitar strings that are also advertised and sold as budget guitar strings. Perhaps they're re-branded?
I am pleased with my purchase and regularly recommend to my guitar students. I also use these sets on my own teaching guitars.
And as ever, great service from Thomann!

The Harley Benton Valuestrings, at all the gauges they supply are a product that keep that balance (without falling off!). The evidence? My own ears, when I use them on my own guitars. AND the fact that my customers comment favourably on them, when they return to buy more. The value that you offer enables me to supply my customers with a fine product at a price which enables me to make a small profit, but amazes my customers! Dealing in these strings is how I like a transaction to be - satisfaction all down the line: Herr Thomann and his unbelievably hard working employees sell a quantity of a product to me, then I am happy as I have a quality product that helps my business, and finally I have customer who smile when they return for more "of those cheap strings, really good they were. How can you sel them at the price?"
I smile, as if retaining a secret and just say: "I have an excellent supplier"

Sound is okay in my opinion. Just need to replace them regulary.
Because the price is amazingly low, you can put on new set before every gig without spending a fortune. Cheap new set is better than old expensive one. :)
