They don't feel or sound like coated strings at all
If I had the money I'd always buy these. Unlike other coated strings these feel totally natural and last a long time. Great for people like me with sweaty hands. If I can't get my hands on these then I go for the NYXL ones. These are top tier and I will never switch back to Ernie Ball. Edit: I'm now on my third pack and I'm never going back. I wish there were an option for subscribe and save like there are for the 9-42 NYXL strings but oh well. I get these about once every 3 to 4 months just for the one guitar I use these on. I like using these on my Jazzmaster. Despite it's scale length being the same as all other Fender guitars like the Strat the string still has to travel further from the bridge to peg and the high E is prone to breakage.

Excellent Strings !
These 09/42 D'Addario Guitar strings are a great addition to my style of playing. The gauge is just right for those string bends on soulful leads. They stay in tune when you stretch them out. They last a long time depending how much you play and clean afterwards with a microfiber cloth. You might like a different gauge depending on how you play but these are just right for me. The price is much better than the guitar shops in town. I'll purchase again !

Superb finish, tone, and snap!
I recently restrung both my Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster with these, and I really appreciate the quality. You can see the polished smoothness of the unwound/strings right away, and I can definitely feel the difference while playing. I’ve put over 30 hours of playing time on each of the sets, and the tone and shine hasn’t noticeably degraded at all. The wound strings have a lot of ‘snap’ to them. I’m really pleased with these. They’re a bit more expensive than plain strings, but in my opinion, they’re worth it for their durability and tone.

Longer lasting than the regular versions
Definitely last longer than the matching set of uncoated strings. I live in a salty area and I only get a few days out of the regular strings but these are going on two weeks and only barely beginning to show oxidation. These are my new go-to.

Might be the Best Strings Ever
I've played D'Addario almost exclusively now since 1990. Every now and then I've tried some others like SIT, Ball, etc. I always go back. I tried the XTs just for grins, and I love them. They stay in tune better and last longer that traditional XLs. I bend a lot and change tunings quite a bit too. I use them on fixed bridge and Floyd setups. They are the best string I've used!

Great strings, quality and good value
These are really good durable stings. I have been waiting for strings that don’t break down and lose tone from playing with my corrosive sweat. A little more than standard strings but worth it for the durability aspects.

Besitze und spiele meine 6 Gitarren mit diesen Saiten
Ich besitze insgesamt 6 verschiedene E und Akustik Gitarren von Strat bis Thompson (12 Saitige). Für alle benutze ich nur diese D'Addario Saiten. Sie halten lange, der Ton scheppert nicht. Mehr gibt es wohl nicht dazu zu sagen. Ich Empfehle diese Saiten gerne.

It's Durable!
I purchased the XTE0942 almost 3months ago and up to now its still going strong. I have to commend on the durability of the strings (considering the usage is more than twice on a weekly basis). No visible rust so far and the pitch of the string has a good mellow tune to it. Ideal for personal sounds or at a crowd. I would definitely but this product again. Highly recommended.

I like the feel of NYXL better
One star down because of price. 2nd star down because I think feel of NYXL is better and because these stings dont come in size 8th

Ottime
Ottimo il prodotto e ottima la confezione. Le corde hanno tutte un nottolino di differente colore scongiurando lo scambio delle corde anche al neofita. Le corde sono delle classiche acciaio placcate nickel. Le ho montate su una elettrica Jackson con elettronica attiva degli anni '80: il suono è molto piacevole, ben equilibrato tra il brillante e il pastoso, forse leggermente più brillante; vedremo con il passare del tempo. Ho scelto una scalatura leggera (9-42) e il suono è molto pieno. Assolutamente consigliate anche se non proprio economiche.
