-Quality : 5
The coating is very good, it makes the strings shine forever. I played them for two months without getting any dirt or rust.
Despite being coated, they still feel like standard Ernie Ball 'strings.
- Sound : 5
The tone is just like the standard Ernie Ball 10-46
Unlike Elixir, the coating has close to no effect on tone.
Overall, this is one of the few 10-52 coated sets and it is awesome.
The coating isn't noticeable while playing (unlike Elixir's Nanoweb), but it will considerably protect strings from rust and dirt.
