STABILO - BOSS ORIGINAL Pastel - Highlighter - Pack of 6 - Milky Yellow, Creamy Peach, Pink Blush, Lilac Haze, Hint of Mint, Touch of Turquoise

After buying these, I think I'm going to switch over to them from Mildliners. I normally have seen one book cause my Mildliners to dry out. These, on the other hand, are not messing around. I was able to highlight five dense books with these highlighters, and have only noticed mild wear. I expect that these will last me through another five books. When comparing this to Mildliners, I think that it's only fair to mention that this makes sense, since there's a lot more room for them to hold ink because of their large barrel. They have only bleed through one book, which has really thin, poor quality pages - I have no idea how this would hold up to, say, Bible paper. However, the bleed is not as bad as the Sharpie highlighters, and I have adapted to that one book by just simply highlighting much faster and with a lighter hand, which has worked. Literally the only thing that I wished for when using this was a fine tip, which is the only thing that scores a point for Mildliners. Seriously was impressed - colors are great, the manufacturing is of high-quality, the tips are not likely to dry out, and they're really comfortable and easy to use. I will be buying these again, potentially in a wider array of colors.

I really dislike bright neon colors, which most highlighters tend to be. Bright bright neons give me horrible headaches, and as a kid I used to toss all the yellow and orange highlighters that came in my back-to-school packs and use only the blues and purples, maybe green. These are the only highlighters I’ve used where I can use every color (even yellow!) without getting a neon-induced migraine. Plus they’re just high quality, the ink flows well, the tips are smooth, and they’re comfortable to grip. What’s not to love?

If you are like me, you probably have read 100 reviews to find the best highlighters because you hate highlighters and are hoping to find the right ones to make your life easier. Before these highlighters I abhorred highlighting because most popular, well-marketed highlighter brands in the US bleed through pages, only highlight half of your text (making your eyes have to focus a lot more than you want) or over highlight one and a half rows of text, run out or dry out quickly, have spotty markings (cheaply made, but cost a lot), and many other disadvantages. I always just fell back on using pens as they were easier, faster, and just better- until I started using Stabilo. I would never leave such a good review for something so extremely dear to me (my research tools) if it was not worth my resources as I am extremely picky when it comes to office supplies, but here are the pros and cons of these highlighters: PROS: Rarely bleeds through pages (if you are highlighting on super cheap- thin paper, then yeah every highlighter, unless it has very little ink is going to bleed through); Highlights one row (evenly and almost perfectly) for standard text book font; Takes a long time to run out. My fiance actually had these highlighters for over 2-3 years now (survived several moves between different countries and continents), and they are still working. I only bought an extra set because I wanted some to take with me to class; The size and shape are remarkably comfortably to write with (I'm a predominant lefty, but being ambidextrous I do not think the comfort level changes with the hand you use); So many colors to use when color coding text. I use this for law school, and it works amazing! and Has a plastic box you can keep them in so they do not scatter. CONS: The size and shape of the highlighters make it not very functional for a pencil pouch or pen bag, well, not for storage in a cup either as they take a lot of room; This is easily manageable by keeping them in the plastic box they come in (refer back to PROS). WARNINGS: Do not double highlight using the darker colors (blue, purple, or dark green) because it will make your text harder to see. WISHES: I wish they had one more blue, maybe a lighter blue color? I hope this review helped you, but let me know if you have any questions. Also, the only other marker that I think comes close to Stabilo is Staedtler. I am not pushing either brand for money or free merchandise. This is a genuine review from someone who found life easier with this product! :)

I do love them! Great quality, dry fast, color same as package it kept the color after transferring. Very durable. It can make your notes as fun as mine. Value the money!

I came across these highlighters on a round up of best office supplies from around the world. When I saw these, I realized I could make good use of them in school. I like their compact size, which will make them easy to tote with me as I mostly use these to mark up PowerPoints while my professor is lecturing. The colors are different from the usual neon colors which are pleasant to me. The quality of the mark is well and they feel good in the hand. One odd thing to point out, at least for the package I received, pulling the cap straight off is nearly impossible. If you twist a bit and pull off at the same time the cap removes easily. This is probably good so the cap doesn’t fall off easily. I did have one complaint but it isn’t enough to warrant removing a star as it isn’t the product but the shipping. The markers come in a handy little plastic case, which I intended to use to keep them organized in my backpack. However, during transit, the corner of the package was roughed up and is now cracked. Still usable but will likely break at some point. I may try to tape it together but maybe I just need to get a pencil pouch. All in all, I’m glad I purchased these highlighters and I know they will get lots of use in the coming years while I complete nursing school. The compact size is great and the colors are lovely.

I was drawn to this product because I liked the color variety and the fact that they were more muted. I've never really liked most markers and felt they were too bright. I like these a lot, but they are quite pale, and I wish they had just a little more color.

These are great! I love the color and how well they show up without bleeding through the paper.

The colors are so pretty and they last long and I love using them for school. They do bleed a little bit, but it’s not that bad. Definitely gonna buy some more in different colors!

Der Klassiker - einfach unschlagbar! Ich nutze den STABILO BOSS ORIGINAL schon seit Ewigkeiten und bin auch dieses Mal wieder sehr zufrieden. Für mich gibt es keinen besseren Textmarker. Warum er für mich TOP ist: Haltbarkeit: Er trocknet nicht so schnell aus, selbst wenn man den Deckel mal kurz offen lässt. Farbe: Die Leuchtkraft ist super, ohne das Papier komplett durchzuweichen oder die Schrift darunter zu verschmieren. Handhabung: Durch die flache Form liegt er gut in der Hand und rollt nicht vom Schreibtisch. Zwei Strichstärken: Perfekt, um sowohl ganze Zeilen zu markieren als auch feine Akzente zu setzen. Fazit: Ein bewährtes Top-Produkt, das in keinem Mäppchen oder Büro fehlen darf. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Me encanta que el color no sea chillón pero a la vez sea tan bonito. Me gusta como quedan en mis apuntes y aunque sean tonos pastel, resaltan igual que los básicos.

Really like the pastel colours of the highlighters. Good quality and ink will not dry up easily as u leave the cap open for a while. Can use to highlight and drawing. Definitely will purchase again.

great!

Estos subrayadores son perfectos para resaltar textos con colores vibrantes. El estuche incluye 6 colores fluorescentes que realmente hacen que la lectura sea más clara y organizada. No vienen secos, lo que garantiza un uso prolongado sin problemas. La calidad es excelente, se deslizan suavemente sobre el papel, aunque en papel de menos de 90g/m² pueden llegar a traspasarlo. Además, el precio es muy bueno para la calidad que ofrecen. Definitivamente volvería a comprarlos. ¡Muy recomendados! 🎨✨
