D'Addario NYXL Strings - Pitch Stability Test

Description
The D'Addario NYXL1046BT Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings have been engineered to produce balanced tension across all strings. These premium electric guitar strings provide an ideal playing experience. The NYXL1046BT strings are constructed with D'Addario's revolutionary NYXL nickel-plated steel wrap wire around a hexagonal core. This combination results in strings with unparalleled durability, consistency and tone. The NYXL1046BT set provides a familiar 10-46 gauge range favored by players of all genres.
Balanced Tension Provides Comfort and Playability
The NYXL1046BT strings are tension balanced to +/- 10%, providing even pressure across the fretboard. This balance makes bends, finger vibrato and complex chords comfortable and responsive. The strings have a smooth, polished surface and bend evenly without pinging. Guitarists will appreciate how the balanced tension allows for faster, more articulate playing.
Premium NYXL Wrap Wire Boosts Tone and Lifespan
The NYXL1046BT strings feature D'Addario's innovative NYXL nickel-plated steel wrap wire, while the high-carbon steel core wire makes them up to 40% stronger. The added strength means less breakage, reduced tuning instability and longer string life. NYXL wrap wire also enhances harmonic content and produces a rich, bold tone with clear, articulate highs.
Hexagonal Core Offers Unmatched Tuning Stability
At the heart of the NYXL1046BT strings is a hexagonal core wire. The hex core's shape grips the wrap wire tightly, reducing slippage and keeping each string securely in tune. Players will appreciate how the NYXL1046BT strings hold their pitch even during aggressive techniques, like heavy bends, double stops and string stretching. The combination of NYXL wrap wire and a hex core results in strings with superior tuning stability and tonal clarity.
Familiar and Versatile 10-46 Gauge
For guitarists seeking a familiar, versatile set of electric strings, the NYXL1046BT 10-46 gauge is ideal. The 10-46 range works well for styles like rock, blues, jazz and pop. The NYXL1046BT set provides a balanced feel and rich, full tone that complements the sonic qualities of many standard scale electric guitars.

These have the perfect balance of brightness and warmth for what I'm looking for. Also, the balanced tension really helps even out string tension and improves tuning stability on trem systems (In my experience).

I use these on all my tremolo-equipped guitars. They have the most uniform and smooth feel when bending and using the trem system. Also, they sound great! Balanced and slightly warm. If you are looking for a brighter tone, check out the XS sets as well!
I have bought these again

I have used the NYXL series since they were in beta testing. Since their official release I have never used another string. Even have used them on my acoustics and they always sound great, I feel they have a great string life

The strings sound good and are comfortable to play. I haven't had them on my guitar for very long, since I just recently bought them and installed them, but so far they have been pretty good at staying in tune.
