I really like them!!!
Just that...
I find in them anything I need, tone and definition-wise, and I just couldn't be happier with their quality!!!
I like to play around with different tunings, and thet offer a wide range of gauges. Also, the fact that a huge range of singles of any gauge are available to customize sets, is brilliant!!!
From time to time I try other brands, and many are OK, but is just I have found my feel and tone with D'Addario, and I'm always going back to using them.
It's a matter of taste, as always when sound is involved.
For me they're PERFECT, I love them!!!

Excellence from D'Addario
Great set for mild down-tuning, and for those who like a huge bottom end.
Used on 24.75 & 25.5 scale guitars down to drop C and open C tunings, with no stability issues, weird mis-matched tensions or flabbiness from the strings.
Well wound strings, they even cope in an '90s Floyd equipped Yamaha Drop 6 [28" scale] without coming apart in a month.
Good tone, long life [but I'm not a super sweaty player] and a good price.
Still can't get one baritone to play well, that needs 12-60's but for most of my guitars these rock!

Good for mild downtuning
These strings sound fantastic when they're fresh and they retain some of that character for a surprisingly long time. I use this set on a 25.5" scale guitar with a floating bridge tuned to D-standard. The tension is perfect in this gauge and no matter how much I abuse the whammy bar not a single string has ever broken. The NYXL might be a step up but in most cases these are just fine and you can't beat the price of this 3-pack.

Great strings, super fast service
These are fairly bog standard strings in the grand scheme of things, with no coatings or fancy metals present.
However, they have been doing the goods for years for me. They sound great after being stretched in and played in for an hour or two, and they stay really good sounding and hold tuning well until they finally start rusting, usually after a month of abuse.
I don't look after my guitar strings, never clean them, I sweat a lot and play for a couple of hours every day, and play them hard.
This particular gauge (10-52) is ideal for flats tuning where you want to keep high tension for fast palm muted notes and avoid string warble on big open chords.
Service from Thomann was fast as ever.

Works well on Drop B baritone (26.5)
I have been using this gauge on a baritone guitar (26.5) for years. It is not too tight nor too loose on Drop B on this particular scale. It's a good balance for rhythmic and lead performance.
The strings are very durable and can last easily for several months while keeping their bright sound. They will withstand any aggressive picking styles as well.
Definitely recommended.

Advantageous kit.
I use the drop D tune. Normal strings with good brightness.
Sounds good for 2 months with medium intensity.

The best strings I've used after 20 years and many strings
I've had D'Addarios on my guitars for the past 10 years, and will never look back. They last for ages (months really for bedroom use) without significant change in tone, longer than any coated strings I've used.
I prefer a 10 gauge set, and have recently changed to a 10-52 light top heavy bottom set which makes chuggy riffing a lot more enjoyable. I had to file my nut and adjust my truss rod after installing them, althought the tension change isn't much over a standard 10-46 set.
The sound from these strings has plenty of bite, clarity and power for the mostly metal, punk and hard rock music I play. I've NEVER had one of these break either, and as I've said before I have had them on a guitar for some months of regular, hard use.
The 3D packs are especially awesome value.

My go-to strings
I adore these strings. They sound great, feel great, the only break I ever had was with a pretty old set while pulling my trem fully up, which is fair enough.
11s are a bit too heavy for soloing in my opinion, but standard 10s do not have enough tension on the lower strings for me; chords will be muddy and fast galloping riffs feel like running through quicksand. This set is the sweetspot for me, full sound with good playability on the upper strings, and very tight and clear lower strings.
