I bought these by mistake instead of the Dragonskin+ Nickels and I just can't get on with them. They sound too scooped to my ears and the feel is just too rubbery for my fingers. They've been on my Afterburner and have been cut a with a couple of winds to spare and I've only had them on for a few weeks, but being coated you could get a lot of use out of them. Get in touch and we can work out how to get them to you - SAE would be easiest or you can pay the postage.
