Goldbrokat string brings security.
Pros: I bought this string because it was recommended to me to prevent a whistle. It did help, although I discovered the whistle occurred because the violin is new and the bridge is slightly higher at the E string side than previously. So I was hitting the string without realising it. However, I am also inclined to think this string does help.
Cons: nothing. Fine.

Very good, but maybe not fit for all violins.
Pros: Good sound, which mixes well with the remaining strings. Not too shrill, but present.
Cons: Didn't last long. My first one broke by itself after 40 days, because of corrosion (and i am a manic cleaner, and my sweat is not acid). In a particular new violin i own it sounds good, but it chokes a bit the whole response of the violin. I tested 2 different .27 gauge. Next time i'll try a .26, for a bit less tension.

Goldbrokat E string for violin mellow singing tone
Pros: Very nice mellow E string, tamed the violin a lot compared to the steel E string supplied in the quality perlon set I was using.
Cons: Nothing so far, but only about a month old so too early to say if the tone will last.
Grade 8+
High quality for a low price!
Pros: I don't think I'm a particularly apt judge as others have said it's much better than the Dominant E string, whereas I can't tell much difference - but it's certainly at least as good, and is indeed perhaps a bit less tinny. For the price, definitely can't complain!
Cons: None that I know of.
