Use these exclusively on my 7 string. Perfect gauge sizing for down tuning; I love tuning to GDGCFAD. As far as "output" I can't really discern any advantage over other strings, but these of course have that great bouncy Ernie ball sound to them. I feel like they last a tad longer than plain Ernie balls but it could be a placebo effect. The gauge is perfect for what I do, anything else with these is just a plus. My main motivator to choosing strings are the available gauges, and these are a perfect fit. If you're looking in this range, you won't be disappointed.

I play in drop C. Apparently that's too high for these. My 4th string broke before I could get it tuned to C. A full step lower than standard. Not mad just extremely disappointed because everyone talks highly of these. I replaced it with a Dunlop of similar gauge it's fine.
