Good strings but consider the alternatives
Pros:
These are the most popular violin strings in the world, offering good performance at reasonable cost. People don't like the E string but it works ok for me.
Cons:
I have had dominant As and Ds unwind after heavy use.
Other:
As a fiddler (as opposed to a violinist) I prefer Thomastik's Vision strings - livelier, brighter and in my experience more durable, and with easier and truer intonation. I have a 1750s Cremona violin and a 1880s German one and that's my preference for both. My modern fiddles have metal strings.

Perfect for a gigging violinist
Pros:
Good tone, stay in tune very well even in changeable temperatures and under stage lights.
Cons:
Don't tend to last *that* long.

Excellent quality strings that sound good and play
Pros:
Good sound, easy to play, reliable quality. Once broken in, these strings stay tuned very well over time (which is very handy for young players practicing without parental help). Durable. Pleasant looking coloured silk ends.
Cons:
Not sure they are worth the extra money over the Thomastik Vision strings which appear to be just as good, but are 8 Pounds cheaper for the set.

Pros:
One of the cheapest on the net. Also given the option of ordering the 2 different types of E.
Cons:
Not anything I can think of.
Other:
Ordered a couple of weeks before Christmas as a present. They arrived 3 days after ordering. Can't go wrong with that, great service.
