They do what they promise!
Pros:
This is a really good string! Does what it promises (it has never whistled in the 4 years I've been using it!)and at the same time it has a good, rather bright tone which is equally as good as any of the Pirastro and in my opinion far better than the Dominant E's. A good investment!
Cons:
Like one would expect, they don't have a particularly long lifespan - in my case they last about 2 sometimes 3 months before they begin to unravel. But this isn't really such a bad thing as this problem is pretty common with E strings anyway.

Pros:
As well as doing what it says on the tin, i.e. never a whistle, the string produces wonderful tone on my violin and is gentle on the fingers.
Cons:
No cons to report.
Other:
The first time that I put this string on my violin I was a bit nonplussed by it appearing to be sectionalised. However, it went on very naturally and I haven't looked back.
I notice that the packaging of the strings has recently altered. I am not sure whether the formulation and performance of the strings has changed, though.

Brilliant non whistling E string.
Pros:
Does what it says on the tin; it really doesn't whistle! Which is great as previous E strings wouldn't stop squeaking (nothing to do with me, i promise). Doesn't tend to slip out of tune after you fit it. I wouldn't fit my current violin with any other E string!
Cons:
Feels a little rough under the fingers when it's new, but it smooths up quickly with use. Also very loud when new although this may not be a bad thing!

Good and not so good, depending on violin
Pros:
It is certainly good and does not whistle, like all other E strings I've tried which do.
Cons:
On one instrument it sounded pretty bad but on my Italian fiddle it sounds quite good.
Other:
I previously said it was a lousy sounding string, as other people have confirmed, but it depends highly on the instrument, sounding good on some and bad on others.

Stops the nuisance of the whistling E string!
Pros:
Does the job and has a great sound!
Cons:
No negatives!
Other:
Tried a number of strings to solve whistling E on daughter's violin, this one is the only one that makes any difference - not a whistle to be heard!
