Does anyone use these? I'm intrigued but wondering if they're worth the extra cost?

 

cheers

I tried them on my PRS Santana. The sound was bright enough but I didn't think that they were any better than some of the lower priced strings. I do remember reading that they contribute to a higher rate of fret wear but I can't confirm that. A subjective issue, I am still looking for that certain sound to my damaged ears. Presently using GHS Boomers (9) but looking to try the NYXL balanced 10's.

Thanks for the reply. I ordered some anyway as I'm curious and I needed new strings anyway :)
