Value for money, but...
These strings are great value but cheap comes at a cost. Manufacture is good, no tarnishing or poor feel out of the box. But soundwise, couldn't get to balance them. Plain strings sound with much more output than the wound strings, resulting in a quite unbalanced feel, especially the jump from D to G.

Sturdy, but Disappointing Sound
I tried in the past the Pyramid Extra Light set (008-038) and I was very happily surprised, as they had great tone and they were easy to play.
With this set, the Medium (010-046), I expected strings that would be tough, harder to play (i.e. bend), but with better tonality. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.
They do feel sturdy, keeping the tuning well, and they're of course harder to bend, being thicker. But sacrificing ease of play for sound quality was not worth it, because, quite simply, the sound is disappointing. At best, they're exactly the same as the Extra Light set. But I'd even say they're worse, with duller sound and disappointing hue.
They're not unplayable, of course, but I just don't see the point. Next time I'll prefer the Extra Light set again, which is an awesome bang for the buck.

Decent but should be packaged better
I was using these strings for gigging and busking for about a year so I feel I can judge them fairly now. They don't start out too bright and don't darken that much either which I appreciate. Obviously the price is on point too. The downfall is that the paper only packaging doesn't make for the best long term storage. I tend to buy strings in bulk and I've had a few rusty strings come of these. Anyways that's the only major downside, they sound good to me and for that price just get a set and see for yourself.
