Rotosound PN9 Pure Nickels

Let's start with the upsides: packaging is good. Strings seem consistent quality, although they could use a different color for each ball. Stringing the guitar with these was reasonably quick and good.

But now the main issue: playing feel isn't great. These are not very stiff strings and the B and high E strings especially feel too sloppy. Somehow these are missing a nice tactile feel that is needed to get the right feedback for the fingertips when fretting a note and because of that too many easy mistakes when playing.

But strings are very much a matter of taste and technique, and if you don't try them out you can't know whether a particular brand or product is a good match for you.
