5.0 out of 5 stars Once you have your string, don’t change.
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024
I have played slinky 9s my whole like except for a period there where I tried newer types. Big mistake. I didn’t realize how big until I switched back. Something in the sensitivity that you develop for a string is very real. Changing might seem novel at first. When I switched back everything felt and sounded better. Couldn’t believe it. And guitars really don’t like it either. Especially if you are a couch player and your guitar has a stable environment and you don’t have a tech.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best for Drop tuning

For Drop D or C# tuning, this is the ticket. Fattens that sound right up. Have been and Ernie Ball exclusive user for 25 years

With the issues of counterfit name brand strings online... these are definitely real Ernie Ball strings. Great price for a 3pk too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Always expect value from Slinky.

My Take - 2.5
Well.. it depends on what you want
These strings are thick (hence the "Mega" name).
If you're looking for something more vibrant, go ahead and get yourself a different pair.

Preference - 2
My preference? I like beefy but these are still too skinny, good for rock genres (maybe Pop?, the vibrance is there, just not a whole lot of it.).

The highs in the sound you get from these are definitely worth it, hook it up to distortion or overdrive and you're good!

Build - 4
As expected from Slinky, these don't break too easily, they lasted me a good two months before any signs of corrosion in the metal, or scraping, and I play rough!

Overall -
If you want something durable and effective, get a pair!
If you're looking for tone, I suggest their "Cobalt" series, good high for metal/rock, but not very good for pop/etc.
They don't break easy (if ever) so they're good for people who play rough/heavier genres.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recent convert, not looking back. Love these strings
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2024
I really like the smooth feel of these strings compared to others I have played. They are very durable (haven't had any breaks). I made the switch after a Black Friday impulse purchase. I had been playing the other popular brand (rhymes with the hairy-o) for many years and figured I'd give these a shot. Never going back!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific, prepare for floyd rose major adjustment
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2024
Im coming from daddario xr, which are good. But these sound better. The heavy bottom is quite heavy. My floyd rose bridge needed a huge adjustment. I think it'll be worth it based on the sound and I will continue to use these for the three pack and see how much I like it.
For the record I am on a Jackson dinky using standard tuning
