DR Strings Black Beauties BKE-9/46

I bought these out of pure curiosity and was harshly punished for it. The strings have a black coating that feels uncomfortably sticky to the touch, but that isn't even the worst part. The sound is incredibly dull, making them sound as if they are already worn out right out of the box. After just two hours of light playing, the coating started to flake off, leaving behind microplastic residue and making the strings look extremely messy. I have used a lot of different strings, including some very cheap ones, but this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had. Absolutely not worth the money.
