My go to strings for my acoustic
First of all i am by no means an expert on strings .....as i have tried not many besides the EJ16's. Never had to.
But that said.......i have never had one broken on me while playing. Even though i bend strings regularly.
As it comes to tuning i am a real tuning freak, before playing i tune each string to the exact by using a digital tuner. And re-check regularly during practice.
Most of the time the strings stay in tune for 2 days straight, i guess this also depends on the guitar but still a lot has to do with the quality of the strings.
I have very acidic sweat....and after every couple of weeks these strings tend to loose its shine. After 4 weeks, the tone yet in tune becomes a little dull, and i have
to replace them with new ones.
After restringing the strings, it usually take an hour of playing for them to settle....and after a day of being on the guitar they keep consistently in tune with only minor fluctuations (halfway a half step max).
Buying them in these 10 packs...seems to be the cheapest deal. And i like the idea of having enough packs in reserve....to never run out of them.

Great value for the money
I am not committed to one brand of string, I use Martins, Ernie Ball, DR strings and they are all sounding fine to me. The D'addario are just sounding as good as the aforementioned strings, but on plus side I like the packaging (set of 3, set of 10) which provides a real good value for the money.

Solid sound for gigging musicians
I play 3-4 nights per week for last 30 years, I've tried a few different brands over those years but I keep coming back to these. I HAVE NEVER, EVER, BROKEN ONE OF THESE DURING A GIG! And that's saying something.
The 12's are a well balanced set giving the right amount of top/mid/bottom tone for playing all styles without changing instruments, a must for a gigging musician. I get three nights of bright, clear sound and I can stretch to four nights if I'm not feeling overly pushed. After that they will start to loose their 'metalic springiness' but are quite playable if your not too fussy.
Well packaged and sealed, I buy 20 sets at a time and the last set is as fresh as the first.
All in all these are my go to strings for acoustic and previously electric gigging.

I love the 10-pack: great for the more pro-ish musician
D'Addario just does what they do best, which is making good and reliable strings.
I have been using D'Addario for all my basses and guitars, and this set was a nice addition to the tonal possibilities of the instruments.

A good buy
I'm a music teacher and so dealing with broken strings is practically a daily occurrence. I got these so when a string goes we can just get back to the lesson within a few minutes. Granted I now have 10 incomplete sets of strings but I have happy students so I see it as a win-win situation!
The strings are good quality and have a good sound. Not much else to say really. They're strings!

Good for it?s price
I am using daddario strings for 8 years now, and 5 on acoustic. I do 2-4 acoustic gigs a week so I change my strings preaty offten. I love that they come in the pack of 10 so I don?t have to buy 10 pack seperatly. The sound is good as any daddario strings

great, long-lasting
i love these strings -- been using them for 4 / 5 years now exclusively. sound great when fingerpicking, also nice for more aggressive playing.
also, they last for ages -- i quite like how they sound once they've been worn-in a bit, so i can go months without changing them.
