Ok folks. I bought 2 set 11's from each brand (the other brand is ernie ball) cause I wanted to tune down 2 of my guitars to D standard for a project. As fate wanted it these 2 guitars were identical (same brand, same pickups) so I decided to install one of each brand for an A/B comparison. After necessary truss rod adjustments we are back in business.
Sound related there was no any audible difference between these 2 sets, the only actual difference is the long lasting tone (ernie ball) after 3 months of use and the fact that ernie ball's have a smoother feeling in hands.

Fantastic durable strings
I am a lifelong user of Daddario strings and I always choose the EXL116 for my guitars that I use for playing in a full step down (D Standard) and drop C and these strings fit the bill every time!
These are some of the highest quality strings on the market for the price. I know some people prefer the more expensive brands but in my personal opinion (having used basically every string on the market) these strings have the same, if not better, durability and lasting life as the more expensive brands.
These strings give a perfect mellow sound for those bluesy/clean riffs but also have more than enough bite for rock and heavy metal. I highly recommend these strings for D Standard and drop C tunings! If you want to go to drop B or A, then I recommend the EXL117's which give you just a bit more tension on the low E and holds a great tone and bite, as do the EXL116's!

My favourite fusion / jazz gauge
This is the set I used to use for almost a decade. Inexpensive, solid, blanced, without any particular frequences that may disappoint you. Comparing to other famous brands, for me, it’s tension seems to be tight enough to keep your tuning in a good condition for at least 3-4 gigs.

The Best.
These are my go-to strings. No doubts about it.
The feel and tone is unbeatable. Pure comfort. Security, quality and durability. The brightness lasts for ages (and more so with proper care). It keeps in tune longer than one can imagine, even with heavy hitting and bending. Ideal for heavy style, slow, fast or lightspeed shreding, funky, groovy, bluesy, you name it. And even being such heavy strings the brightness shines on the lower ones, the mellow twang on that G string is pure bliss, and the top ones deliver groovy, soulful and unmucky tone. Like I said, these are my go-to. I would never discontinue these puppies! If you're into Doom, Stoner, Drone or any kind of sludgy type metal, give these a try!

Love declaration
I have played these strings for 6 or so years. I have tried other strings for short periods, but I always switch back to these because you get exactly what you expect.
They have great clarity and the fresh sound you get from a new set of strings last a long time. The tone is beautiful and have a fantastic response to how hard or how soft you're playing. They're so durable I end up changing strings for the hell of it when I'm doing touch ups on my guitar.

Great tone and durability at a great price
I used to work at a rock club in Cincinnati, Ohio. Once, after a particularly long load out of Slayer and Static X, I noticed a box full of at least a hundred packs DR strings left sitting on the sidewalk. I took them home and played on them for probably years. After that I was hooked. But they were hard to find. When scarcity became a real problem on my tours in Europe, I asked my lead guitarist what he used, and he pointed to D’addario. I tried them out and was blown away by the clarity, tone, and, most important, durability of these strings! And now finally I had found a set that was easy to locate in any guitar shop in the world! They’ve been my go-to string ever since, and the price point can’t be beat!

Good strings, with a good reputation
I've been using these strings for several years now, and i've yet to find any that beats them in terms on consistency and overall quality, especially for the price.
I use these strings for E Standard, Drop D and for D? standard tunings, and they feel great across the board.
I play primarily metal and hard rock, but these strings sound great for just about anything.
I highly recommend these strings for anyone who wants a step up from regular .10-.46 strings, or are experimenting with different strings and brands etc.
Try them out, they wont disappoint!

2 Thumbs up
The perfect set of strings for all styles of music however they really shine in Drop-Tuning. Quality products with quality prices. I would recommend these strings to anyone looking to try a different guage/brand. Buy with confidence.
