    Half wound are roundwounds that have taken a shave to get a smoother surface. They're also called groundwound.

    There's no such thing as hex-wound. Hex core, on the other hand, refers to the profile of the core wire, which is, unremarkably, hex-shaped. Typically provides a stiffer string, though other benefits are subjective.
