These strings are cheap so thats a plus but thats about it with the sound more resembling banjo stings.  I simply could not get a good sound out these even though I tried and tried.  Everything just doesn't sound right and more metallic and too sharp for my ears.  I played for my wife who said that they sounded really bad.  They are really thin and feel cheap almost like the strings that came with my violin (a cheap violin).  Do yourself a favor and pay extra for good strings but than again if these stings would of been five or ten bucks than I would be happy knowing what I would probably be getting.  These strings would be a good starting point though so don't get me wrong.  I just have learned to like better and little more expensive strings.
