These DR strings sound incredibly fresh, rich, warm and powerful and have made my guitar tone sound significantly better. Bends just soar and the strings vibrate beautifully. They also come with 3 special Xenon strings which apparently compliment the wound strings much better but I still haven't tried them yet. Still, the fact that they are included and also gold colored makes any electric guitar look cool. Previously I was using some higher-end Ernie Ball strings but they corroded pretty quickly, these DR strings have been sounding so fresh. Highly recommended!
