Round-cores do require a little more care when installing but if you get it wrong I would expect them to sound dead straight away - not last 6-8 hours and then drop off.
That does sound unusual.

I really like the Newtone Heritage (round cores) the best. Sunbeams will discolor but they still sound good.
The Newtones last quite a bit longer than the Sunbeams which I still use. Cost around ten bucks a set U.S. I order mine directly from their website plus $3 shipping. Takes about ten days to two weeks to get them.
