Nice compromise
I like a fairly light action, and for a guitar that I would be exclusively E-tuning I would use regular 9-42 super lights. But I often tune E-flat or drop-D, and the 6th string gets too sloppy for my taste in those instances. These hybrid sets are a nice option for that. The high strings are still light and easy while the low end maintains more stiffness for lower tuning setups - it's the best of both worlds. These are a little bright when first installed but they mellow out fairly quickly and seem to perform consistently for a long time before getting too dull. To date I haven't broken one.

Superior sound
These strings offer a brilliant combination between a strong, muscular sound and an easier playability on the first three strings. It's not the first time I buy this product, but I'm always pleased by the great versatility in sound this string set offers. The quality is very good, like on most Daddario products.
Pros:
- Very versatile sound and playability
- Very durable strings
- Fair price
Cons:
- Never confronted any...

Best Strings That I Used So Far
I had been using Ernie Balls for ages but now I thought to give these ones a try. I was pleasantly surprised. The sound was pretty much the same to EB's but the durability and the overall feel of these string turned out to be better. I'm convinced and pretty happy with this purchause and will be buying D'Addario strings in the future.

Cheaper than EvH equivalent.
Bought these to use on my Wolfgang, based on the gauge already on there. I've used D'addario strings before and really like them, although these days I tend to use either Ernie Ball or Rotosound 10's. I'd forgotten that they have a nice clear sound and feel,(I know most new strings have that, but these keep that feeling and sound for longer). Have to say, looking at the product page for the EvH strings, they actually appear to be in the same packaging as these, apart from the logo.....are "his" strings made by this company? If so, not to take any money away from Eddie, I'll go for these every time at a good £2 - £3 cheaper.

Weak fingers!
These are now my favourite strings. I like the easy bending of nines but the bass end can sound a little lacking. With these I get the best of both worlds. They last me a long time, I am lucky that my hands do not sweat much and they sound clear and bright. I particularly like them on my Fender and PRS guitars.

Doing their job
I'm trying different brands at the moment, Boomers, Ernie Ball, this time it was Daddario. They were easy enough to install, no string snapped. They lasted as much as the other brands, I didn't find any negative points, but I still prefer the Ernie Ball, as a matter of personal feeling. But it's totally subjective, these are pretty good quality strings.

Another set of D'Addario strings that didn't disappoint
I've never had a quibble with D'Addario strings, except for on one occasion when I opened a new pack to find only 5 strings in it, but that pack wasn't these, so onward we go.
The first time I used these, I noticed that the fatter bottom strings gave a bit more beef to the sound of the Strat they were on and they had a bit more substance to them than the bottom of regular 9s - not by much, but enough for me to notice whilst chugging along on them.
They stayed fresh sounding for a fair length of time and gave no breakages. Inevitably, there comes a time when fresh strings are required and these were replaced by more of the same.
The price is nice too.

Awesome
My favorite string set so far. Highly recommended due to its clarity and durability. Living in an island destination where there's high air salinity it is very durable. You have to wipe the strings after every playing time though,
