I have a Fender Deluxe Strat and it came with Fender strings. I tried the Fender Bullits, as they were the recommended strings for the guitar. As soon as the strings needed changing again, I went back to D'addario's. Apart from being cheaper, they definitely have a better bell tone to them and although it may be psychological, I prefer the 'feel' of them.
I love the sound of these, they are reasonably priced, especially from Thomann. A quick piece of advice: Always compare the price of multi packs. These packs of 3 work out at ¤4.80 a set. The packs of 10 work out at ¤4.90 a set. These EXL120-3D are the best value!
If you have never tried them, give them a go. I will be very surprised if you don't stick with them. I doubt I will ever use anything else on my electric guitars.

The only thing I'm not crazy about is the colored ends on the strings, but I can live with that and it's not like you normally even see them. I'd also like to see the more rare sets (e.g. sets with a wound G) available as a 10-pack.

I can play them with ease, but the strings do not sound tinny and they do quite well in the bass frequencies. They last quite long, I have broken just one or two strings in all these years. You don't need to change them every month or so. They will stay 'fresh' for longer than that.
The strings also do great on floating bridge systems too. With all the stress of the vibratos with the whammy bar, these strings don't seem to care.
Since I have multiple guitars, it is only convenient to buy a pack of three sets. I have used these strings for almost ten years and I'm planning on using them for the next ten years as well!

I've never thought of switching strings after I bought these for the first time years ago.

This is great and is the go to strings for a majority of guitar manufacturers, especially Ibanez.
Great strings at a great price! Recommended!

I found with Ernie Ball strings for instance, that when you first put them on they sound really great with a nice spanky tone. However I do feel that they dull down rather quickly. In comparison I find that although the Daddario's aren't so spectacular when first put on, they don't dull so much over time. If you change strings a lot and like that 'new string' sound, then get Ernie Ball's. But I find Daddario's a better value long trem option.
I use 9's for my two Floyd rose equipped Charvel guitars and they do a good job in that environment.
The only problem I have had was a ball end snapping off a top E string while I was stringing up. I guess you're going to get a dodgy one once in a while though.
Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I'm sticking to Daddario EXL's!

Once tuned in well, only a minor adjustment is needed before a session, if any; they stay in tune even at a lot of bending.
It is practical they come in a 3-pack for a very reasonable price.
5+5+5 stars, no questions.

I don't use this strings anymore, I went to 11s, cause these were way too thin and also sounded too bright for my taste.
I did stick to the brand though, and I use D'addario stings on most of my guitars - I trust their quality, and another great thing is they are available anywhere, if you're on the road and a string breaks.
Since they're so thin, it's important to carefully pull and stretch them when you're winding them, so that you get better tuning stability and a bit higher tension.

These are no exception, excellent quality with great resonance. I've had to up the gauge due to using a short-scale guitar and opted for the 9.5 gauge since which are perfect for my needs.
