Here's my initial report.
I put them on the guitar today. Packaging is nice and professional, with the strings sealed inside a reclosable heavy plastic sleeve:
They come coiled in two coils of three strings each. In each trio, the middle weight string of the three is identified with a little bead; so the 5th string has a little square bead marked A and the 2nd string has a little bead marked B.
Oddly, the package says "6 string set" and then gives details for a seven-string set:
The included pick is crap.
The presence of those little indicator beads is a red flag for me. The only place I've ever seen those before is in pictures of string sets made in China.
Some excellent classical guitar string makers also use tabs (not beads) to differentiate strings, so I wouldn't necessarily rule them out based on that alone.
