They are normal roundwounds with black nylon tape on them.
they don't. that's the whole point; being less magnetically active at the surface makes the strings more "thud-like," as Frank Zappa once said. they're not a sound for everybody--or necessarily a sound for anybody--but if you're going in the direction of BOOM they're worth checking out, especially if you want to go for that subsonic dub bass kind of thing.
i found Ernie Ball flats to be extremely bright, not much darker than Rotosound rounds, in fact. Fender flats are much better in terms of "sounding like flats." i'm not wealthy enough for T-Is or Pyramids, and have never liked LaBellas.
