I’ve been using the D’Addario NYXL0940BT set, and honestly, it’s one of the most balanced-feeling string sets I’ve tried. The “BT” (balanced tension) thing isn’t just marketing — the strings actually feel even across the neck. No floppy low strings, no overly stiff high strings. Everything bends and responds the same way, which makes fast playing and vibrato feel way more controlled.
Tone‑wise, they’ve got that NYXL punch: bright without being harsh, and they stay in tune ridiculously well. I can stretch them once, play for hours, and they barely move. They also last longer than regular XLs, so I’m not changing strings every other week.
If you like lighter gauges but still want a tight, consistent feel across all six strings, the 0940BT set is honestly one of the best options out there. It’s become my go‑to for anything that needs clarity and easy playability.
