Ordinary strings at a price 3 times lower than everywhere
The quality of the strings does not stand out in any way; this is true - BUT !!! Given the cost of the cheapest options for a 12-string guitar in local stores, this set, if you exclude delivery, costs almost 3 times lower than the most miserable strings, while the quality is not worse, or maybe better.
I have a 12-string Washburn electro-acoustic guitar, I can’t say that it’s a budget one, but better than the Ibanez that I had before it. The bottom line is that when using a guitar with an amplified amplifier, having built an equalizer, chorus and reverb, the sound of all sets of strings becomes almost the same.
I am not a supporter of cheap strings and prefer products from USA - BUT! On an electric guitar or bass, especially acoustic, I very clearly hear the difference and feel it with my fingers between inexpensive and normal strings, and indeed even sets for a 7-string electric guitar are inexpensive, but as for the 12-string variants, the price is sky-high. Therefore, I either have to save money, but change the strings more often, in the case of the Harley Benton kit, I can say that they are not the most wear-resistant, while they stretch a little to make it easier to press the double strings - this is important! And in general, not the most dull sound without connecting a guitar. In general, their money is definitely worth it.
By the way, earlier on Thomann I ordered myself an 8-string Harley Benton electric guitar, I play it often and don’t take the 7-string in my hands anymore. Soon I will have to change the strings, look at the prices and again see inadequate numbers in local stores, most likely I will trust Thomann products when I place a new order, and now I’m waiting for my electric stool, wood floor and other goods from Thomann the other day.

Good option as stock strings replacement
Suddenly after the purchase of a new guitar the best sound improvement could be achieved with the replacement of the stock strings set, usually provided with the lowest possible quality.
So, while waiting to read some review on the net about the best choice for a set of strings for my 12 string guitar, I've decided to buy this Harley Benton set...
Well, to my surprise, the overall quality of those strings are more than decent: manufacturing is very well done, each string coming into its package, no defect at a visual inspection.
Then, after installing the string on the guitar, the sound test has been really satisfactory: the improvement with respect to the stock set is really sensible and the overall feeling with those strings is surprising when their price is taken into account.
I'm not saying this product could satisfy a pro guitar player looking for the absolute sound quality but for the rest of us, amateur guitar players, this product could offer a valid solution for frequent string change or spare set to always bring in the guitar case pocket.
As last consideration, let me say that while sound quality is a hardly measurable aspect, the price is deterministic: due to their price of about 2,50 euro, these strings are unbeatable (while still providing a very decent sound)!

Good sound but rather poor durability
To be honest, I really like these strings. They are the cheapest in the universe and they have a decent equal tone. Every time I put them on, I'm a bit surprised how good they actually sound.
Nevertheless, my, there are easy to break. Not only the thinnest G but even the thicker string really don't last long. (Even compared to other Harley 10s, which is baffling.) But for the price, I can afford to put a new set every week, so what.

Extremely cheap!!
Bought these strings because of everyday guitar playing, outside in rough use, many hours a day, and I was breaking many strings because of it. These are perfect for this use because even if their sound quality degrades drasticly very quickly, the strings and going to be breaking and be replaces anyways, so thats is no problem for me. Not good strings for causual playing, even though they sound good at first they will lose their sound very fast and have to be replaced very fast again. But perfect for street musicians who play for long hours and break lots of steings!

5 for value and 2 for 1?
I use them for acoustic 6 string and Nashville tuning sets by breaking the pack in two. Sound just fine and kills two birds with one stone.

All you need
Absolutely nothing to complain about regarding this set of strings! Easy to tune and sounds good. The strings where marked so dummies can understand it :-) (1 to 12) It remains to see how long they will last but so far I am very pleased.

Excellent Value
I'm sure you can get better strings than these, but they are at least 4 times the price - these are excellent value for money.

A good budget set of strings.
More expensive strings may be slightly better but these are good value for a very competitive price. Add a few spare sets to your gig bag.

Another Good Benton String.
Needed a 12 string set for a guitar I don't use much , but had rusty strings on, thought i'd try these and they are fine, actually still on the guitar months after putting them on. Get yourself some string cleaner and they will last.
