Not very good...
I've never used coated strings before so I cannot compare these to the more renowned brands such as Elixirs, but one thing's for sure: these strings sound completely different than your ordinary nickel-plated strings.
Quality-wise the strings are fine, none of them snapped during use, they felt quite normal to play and they did stay rust-free for a long time, as you'd expect.
Now about their sound. The very moment I strung up my guitar and hit the first chord, I was quite shocked, the strings sounded like the oldest and most heavily used nickel plated strings that I've played. Imagine a normal set of strings that was played for months, very dull and lacking any clarity, that's the kind of sound I got with these.
Now, some people might enjoy the sound, I however certainly don't.
For the money it was worth the try though, no big loss. If you're really on a budget, I recommend the standard nickel-plated strings from HB, they're dirt cheap and certainly more usable.

I don't really like the feel...
First time trying the HB coated strings and unfortunately I don't like them very much. Primarily the coating is very prominent on the lighter strings and they feel very different from normal, un-coated strings when playing. No doubt they will stay rust free longer than regular strings but I think I'd rather try Nanowebs next time if I want something longer lasting.

not good for me
I did not like the string. the sound is decent but the feel is poor to my fingers.
good if you want something very cheap, but it is worth to spend a few more euros for something better.

Cheap but kind of flat sounding
The best part of these strings are the price. But they sound flat and unimpressive. I bought them as a test but I will not buy them again. Going back to the cheap d'Addarios I used before.
