Ernie Ball 2229 Hyper Slinky

These are great , they are 9's with high e .08 and g string .14 which is even lighter than in regular 8's. So you have lots of fun when soloing. I was actually transitioning from 10's to 9.5's before trying these. But now I think I am going to buy few more sets.
You may need to adjust your playing if you used 10's before. But if you used 9's and these will give you more flexibility without need to adjust. They last long time so I recommend.

Extremely happy with Ernie Ball coming out with this hybrid set. Always loved 8s but felt the bottom 2 strings could be just a smidge thicker. This set is perfect for me.

because they stood up against Microsoft -- but that's another story. Their strings, though, make a world of difference compared to those provided with the guitar (an HB-35+), both acoustically and amplified. I was not sure .08s could d stand heavy bending -- they can, up to 4-5 half notes, at which point I have to give up. And they're dirt cheap.

Früher musste ich die gitarre schon mal 1/2 Ton runter stimmen damit die e Saite bei meinen Blues Entartungen nicht reißt. Nun kann ich sie ziehen und zerren, bleibt stimmstabil und langlebig

If you are a regular 9-42 player, you should try this.
Standard .8 set is so loose and out of control for me. But this is perfect.
You get the 9-42 feeling but better control and speed.
I think G string makes the biggest difference, feeling less tense and controllable. High E is also an advantage for bends.
If you have any doubts, dont overthink and get one.
