Great strings at a sensible price

Pros: I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality, tone and balance of these strings, and find it difficult to understand why they are significantly less expensive than the 'Dominants'. A great example of the law of diminishing returns.
Cons: Nothing
Other: I rarely play instrumental music, and use the fiddle for song accompaniment. These strings work perfectly for me and I will certainly be buying them again.

Pros: These suite my 1924 violin perfectly! Very big, powerful sound at a very good price. Stabilise quite quickly and are easy to play on.
Cons: Nothing to dislike.
Other: Not sure why they're listed particularly for children's instruments, I'm a very happy adult!

Pros: The string set was a lot quieter than Dominant strings. I could play the Violin at home without needing a mute. They seem to last a long time and stay in tune very well. They had a very nice sound. As ever, the speed of delivery from The String Zone was Fantastic.
Cons: I only play for fun, and not very often. I do not have a Teacher. I have taught myself through books and the internet. I found that when I first fitted the strings on, I had to be VERY CAREFUL, with my bowing. They just felt so different on the Violin. But the only other strings I had used before, were Dominants. So compared to Dominant Strings, Vision strings are harder to play on at first. I did get used to them, but because I do not play often, I have since brought a set of Daddario Prelude Violin Strings. Those strings seem to be more suitable for myself, and my Violin.

Pros: Good price, reliable performer and are ideal for learners instruments. As a luthier I am asked by a number of teachers to fit these strings for pupils around grade 4-5 +
Cons: Nothing really.

Pros: Bought these as a change from the dominants i usually get and was quite surprised. They have a nice sharp tone to them but don't loose the warmth either like the dominants have. They are exactly what i needed and will buy another set, so defiantly 5*
Cons: The G string broke after a couple of months but i'd put that down to the fact i play bluegrass and i play a lot, so my strings take a lot of abuse over long periods of time.

Pros: They are very suitable for upgrading the quarter size violins on which I have 3 tiny children taking AB grade 2.Vision are brighter than dominant but still have the depth.They are louder and easier to get "into the string" than the cheep ones we had before. Good value for the price.
Cons: Vision have less warmth than dominant.

Pros: Good set for my new 5 string fiddle - wonderful growly tone on the bottom c. Reasonable price excellent service and fast delivery as always.
Cons: Top end (e) quite weak but I suspect this is a problem with the fiddle rather than the strings
Other: Doesn't seem to be many sets with a matching c string but will happily continue using this make
