I am an beginner, with a hand-me-down guitar. I restringed the guitar with Elixir Optiwebs, one string broke because of a dumb mistake.
Since I didn't knew the difference from coated and uncoated strings, I bought the Danddario single string.
Long story short, I now have a rusty string with 5 coated ones. At the beginning though they sounded amazing and if you don't have coated strings this will be good for you.
Please don't make the same mistake as me...

D'Addario Plain string
Anonymous 17.10.2014
Let's start with the sound. They sound great, especially in the beginning when they are new, they have an amazing clarity which I really love and thats the only reason I use them becasue...
The quality is really poor, the sound deteriarates very fast and worst of all the ball end sits very poor on these strings, they very easily break. I usually place a little bit of tin with the soldering iron near the ball end so that they won't break. I don't know how many times I've had these strings break. Really poor quality. D'Addario needs to do something about this.
Despite all this I still use them occasionally simply because I like the sound and feel of them.

A must have backup for 10-gauge users

Perfect backups to go along with your standard Daddario 10-gauge strings in case something happens with your high E-string. Saves you money in the long run by not rendering an otherwise fine set of strings useless since 1 string is lacking.

Must have if you're like me and snap the high e string from time to time and don't want to open a new pack just for one string.

They do sound brighter than nickel coated strings, but that's what you expect from steel strings. They are really fine strings.

Excellent utility for all guitar players
Anonymous 17.01.2017
I think i speak for myself when i say, that these are and excellent utility, mainly because i find myself breaking the high E string a lot of the time, either during playing / when tunning / re-tunning my guitar.
i really think that even if you dont always break your string like i do. i think extra single strings like this will really help out in a sticky situation.
