Beware on multiscale instruments
Very good feeling strings for drop E / D#, although due to my 8 string being multiscale (25.5"-28.3") the tension is uneven. I can see this by how the neck is being pulled, slight bow on the Low E, and slight backbow on high E. After having a warped neck on another guitar, this scares me. I'll be combining this .80 gauge string with a standard .10-.74 set in future

Much better than diadario’s
Great strings - sound great. Good tension for lower strings too down to F# and even down to E

I put the bottom 6 on my standard 6 string ESP, currently tuned to drop F, sounds absolutely filthy

Ormai sono mesi che compro solo queste corde per la mia 7 corde. Suono brillante e pulito, non posso farne a meno. Sono una garanzia di affidabilità e di durata (almeno 2 mesi ce li fate se suonate moderatamente). Consigliatissime

Nach diversen Tests anderer Saiten, nutze ich diese exklusiv für 8-Strings. Der Klang ist gut, die Haltbarkeit ausreichend und der Preis angemessen.

These fit my eight-string perfectly. I really like the skinny top / heavy bottom feel, especially for heavier riffs and metal. The low end stays tight and controlled, and yeah, they chug really well. There’s a lot of clarity in these strings. Cleans sound clear and defined, and once you get into distortion or heavier styles, they really come through. Progressive stuff, metal, pretty much anything heavy works well with this set. They feel good under the fingers and respond nicely during setup. The tension feels right, and they sit well on the fretboard without fighting you. The nickel plating feels clean and smooth, and I haven’t noticed any weird residue or dirt on my fingertips. Overall, these are clean, high-quality strings that sound warm and bright on cleans, but still hold together great once you add gain. For around fifteen bucks, this is exactly what I expect from Ernie Ball. Definitely recommend these if you’re looking for a solid heavy set for an eight-string.
