Yes, yes and yes!
I had been playing with normal strings (sometimes Martin strings, sometimes D'Addarios, sometimes whatever was available at the local shops) for well over a year, and started to notice that my strings just oxidated super quickly, and I needed to replace them ridiculously soon, and I hated it, because it costs a lot of money in the long run, and is annoying and time-consuming to replace each time. I play an awful lot each day, and I think my sweat from my fingers is super aggressive or something.
Anyways, I changed to NYXLs once, and I will never ever go back! They've changed my life for the better!
Now I can leave them on for 2-3 months without them needing to be replaced because they are corroded or something. I can play all kinds of styles on it, without them ever breaking, rusting, or anything alike. Heavy picking attacks (even on the high E string (trying to play fast, or chugging and riffing wildly)) don't bother them, slapping like a lunatic (because it's trendy lol) on them either, and downtuning 1 1/2 steps and then bending the strings like a maniac (1 1/2 steps or even 2 steps at times) are not a problem at all. What a fantastic product!
Buy it once, and be glad for the rest of your lifetime that you made that decision! Seriously, it's so good! (in my opinion though)

Great recording strings
I bought a few packs of these as a test, to see if their higher price tag was worth it. I must admit, they DO sound better.
The tonal balance across the strings and the neck is really good, they project like crazy and while they're not the brightest sounding strings ever, they keep their inherent clear character for a long time.
I've played 6h on stage with one set over a couple weeks and still sounded great at the end, whereas a standard set would usually last me only half of that time.
Worth investing!

Favourite set for Drop A on a 7 String with the low single 0.64.
The guitar strings are the first strings I played after I switched from DR Strings (after 13 years)..
They sound way clearer and brighter, punchier. They just make the guitar sound less dull.
I mostly play Drop A on a 7 String and use those strings, I play hard and normal guitar strings (ernie ball etc) ripped very frequently.. This stopped with DR and now continues with D'Addario!
The sound lasts way longer than the DR's too.
Give them a try if you enjoy heavy sounds but like to keep it clear.
I play a Shecter KM-7 MK III in Drop A or G# tuning (Periphery, Merrow, Conquering Dystopia but also stuff like Carcass, Entombed and similar)

Great set for playing metal in E standard
I was trying out different sets for playing metal in E standard, and 10-52 is for sure a way to go. Super tight wound strings for riffing, medium to light tension for unwound strings for bending.

Daddario NYXL1052 review
Best strings ever.
I've been using these for Drop D and the 12-60 set for Drop B and they seem to last at least twice than any other strings I've ever tried.
Feel and sound amazing, also take a lot less to stabilyze once you monted them, which is a big pro if you're touring.

Great strings - the extra investment is worth it
These strings feel great and for a long time, compared to other lines such as the D'Addario XLs.
The extra few bucks are worth it

Something Extraordinary
I use these strings on my Gibson SG 61' Reissue and my Fender Elite Strat and boy I've got to tell you... The balance between great tone and astounding durability is something I've never seen before. I play the crap out of them and so far theese strings have lasted me the most time. And I've tried a lot of different string manufacturers. I really recommend trying them.

Great for a standard tuning on short scale guitars
I use these on my Les Paul which i keep in standard tuning and it is a perfect combo for tight bass strings and flexible harmonic string for all the leads. Highly recommended if you please fast sixteenth notes and .46 is just not enough for you.
