Perfect Heavy Set for Eight-String Metal and Riffs
These fit my eight-string perfectly. I really like the skinny top / heavy bottom feel, especially for heavier riffs and metal. The low end stays tight and controlled, and yeah, they chug really well. There’s a lot of clarity in these strings. Cleans sound clear and defined, and once you get into distortion or heavier styles, they really come through. Progressive stuff, metal, pretty much anything heavy works well with this set. They feel good under the fingers and respond nicely during setup. The tension feels right, and they sit well on the fretboard without fighting you. The nickel plating feels clean and smooth, and I haven’t noticed any weird residue or dirt on my fingertips. Overall, these are clean, high-quality strings that sound warm and bright on cleans, but still hold together great once you add gain. For around fifteen bucks, this is exactly what I expect from Ernie Ball. Definitely recommend these if you’re looking for a solid heavy set for an eight-string.

Nice strings.
Lighter gage strings but sound really nice.

Great Strings
These strings are slightly heavier than the D'Addario pack. They come sealed, so you can keep them around and they stay fresh. Strings themselves are great - sound great, easy to string and tune. Switching from a lighter pack to these solved the fret buzz problem on my Kiesel A2 on the lower three strings, really good stuff.

Great strings on my Gretsch G5422G12
I went with these for my 12 string Gretsch Electromatic. I don't play my 12 string daily and it is in storage frequently for weeks. The .010 gauge sets always concerned me on 12 string guitars - that's a lot of pressure on the neck. When I stumbled on this .008 12 string set, I had to try them out. So-far, I love them! It is noticeably easier to play and I can feel less tension on the neck. I couldn't be happier. They sound great and I feel better knowing I can leave the guitar tuned to standard E tuning and not tempt fate with damage. Definitely my future go-to string set for my 12 string.

For Multi Scale guitars
Perfect for my Schecter Omen Elite 8. Can easily play 6 and 7 string songs with ease vs other brand 8 string packs. Crisp and hold perfect tune. Only wish I could get a coated set in this gauge from Ernie ball.

Highly recommended
If you're gonna make you're own sculpting tools using guitar string, then ya gotta go with the best. For my purposes the quality is perfection. Based on the feedback from my musically inclined friends they recommended these strings based on how each artist's feel for the strings. the fit and feel on their instruments produced great sound quality and they love them.

Ormai sono mesi che compro solo queste corde per la mia 7 corde. Suono brillante e pulito, non posso farne a meno. Sono una garanzia di affidabilità e di durata (almeno 2 mesi ce li fate se suonate moderatamente). Consigliatissime

Nach diversen Tests anderer Saiten, nutze ich diese exklusiv für 8-Strings. Der Klang ist gut, die Haltbarkeit ausreichend und der Preis angemessen.
