After having used Ernie Ball Slinkies for 20 years, I have discovered the NYXL range last year and I don't think I'm going back. They stay in tune almost straight out of the pack, and seem to sound fresh longer. They feel nice and snappy, maybe a bit less tension that other strings of the same gauge but at the same time there is something about the responsiveness. It's very hard to put it into words as it is such a subjective experience :) But to me they feel comfortable and snappy and alive. Also it seems like the output is slightly higher.
A bit pricier but given how they seem to last longer (or at least the degradation is more gradual) and with the satisfaction I get out of them, it's well worth it.

Love the tonality of these strings
Rui Nunes 09.11.2020
I've been using these strings in my Les Paul in drop B tuning (despite being optimized for C standard) and I must say they hold the tuning pretty well. They are very strong and last a lot more than any other set of strings I've tried without losing the great tonality they have.

Great for C tuning

The band I play in is playing in C or in some songs Drop A#. The E string of 060 does now sound floppy even when dropped to A#.
And G string does not dull.

Great durability and feel

These strings feel great and are a good improvement compared to the XL line. The extra cash is worth it.

Durable and with amazing quality!

Amazing strings, you can feel the quality when you start playing after you change strings in your guitar. I've had mines for about 2 weeks on my guitar and they are still brand new. You have to take care of them, naturally, and clean them daily, however the quality of the product is also relevant here. Very satisfied and would recomend to every guitarist.
