Carbon Strings

Any recommendations for Carbon Strings?

Ive tried the Oasis Carbon Strings not very well known company for the strings but humidifiers, the strings where commended by the previous owner of Strings by Mail.

My guitar sounded 2x even 3x the sound, projection was stupid crazy but lasted less than a week, the strings where all dented after a few days of playing, also the trebles easily broke, funny.

Im searching for a longer lasting Carbon Strings,

Recently got some LaBella Vivace and I like them but still use a nylon E string

These seem to last really well. I really like them. Although I have gone back to the EJ45 nylons as they sound and feel nice on the only guitar I have at the moment.

Can confirm! They sound slightly too metallic (like a steel string) to my ears, but still otherwise nice. Definitely clear trebles.

Savarez 500AJ "Alliance" trebles. Best I have ever used and durable; they seem to last through 3-4 bass sets. The 3rd string G in that set is the most powerful I have ever heard. I use HT strings, they work great on low action guitars.
