Great strings for the money

I can't say enough about these strings.  I don't understand the other reviewer's issues with these strings.  I repair a lot of a-style or campfire mandolins, and every single mandolin that leaves my shop sports a set of these strings.  I have yet to have any issues or any negative feedback about them.  I also use them on my own A-style mandolin, and have never had an issue with them myself.  They last as long as any other mandolin string that I know of.  Are there better strings out there?  Probably, but for the price, and as many as I purchase, I am not complaining, nor do I feel the need to have to try out other strings.  Do I have any comparison, yes, as I do tend to try other strings out to look for the best possible sound for my own instrument, but these work great, and I feel no need to look any further for anything better.

For the money, these are decent strings

These strings are fine for my purposes.  I am a beginning Mandolin player and have a beginner's level mandolin (it's a Savannah SF 100.)  Compared to the strings that came with it, these strings are much brighter, hold a tune better, and resonate longer.  The stock strings were probably dying or close to it, so anything would be an improvement.  These strings are fine for the money though, not coated like Elixirs.  The price is right and they get the job done.  If you are a beginning mandolin player, I would recommend these strings to replace the stock strings that came with your instrument if you don't want to spend more money on the Elixirs.

Both of the E strings broke at the same time.  They really didn't last that long.

Awful quality

I bought these to replace the stock ones on my Michael Kelly Legacy mando, and they made it sound horrendous. There is no bass what soever, and it sounds mildly distorted through the pickups. Acoustic it sounds extremely dry. It basically sounds like a cheap electric guitar now. I would much more suggest the Elixirs.
