Let's face it, you're not going to put these on your main, or a backup guitar, if you're already on the live playing circuit or even higher.
Where you DO WANT to put these on is the guitar you might use for practicing finger gymnastic, a guitar you carry around in your car on a business trip... I put the strings onto a Harley Benton guitar kit - which I have in my office at work, you know, some people do jogging, some do yoga at work, I play guitar dry.
Having said that, the strings are pretty decent and they can be useful even if you play live often.
Imagine you're in the middle of a gig, your string breaks - do you want to unpack a set of expensive strings? No. Just replace it with a single string from this pack and you're good to go.
The price is fantastic, the quality better than the quality (or lack thereof) of no-name/fake name strings you can get off eBay, so when you're onto your next Thomann order, just throw in 2-3 packs to your basket. Heck, this might get you over to the free shipping realm.

Good enough at this price
Elisabeth85 22.06.2015
I get a good month of use out of each set. I thought all was good and my pickups were not good enough. Then I bought a new Harley Benton L450 Cherryburst, which came with Diaddario strings. I got such a shock when I replaced the strings with the Harley Bentons that I am now waiting to buy more Daddarios with my next Thomann order.
The Harley Benton strings were not so bad with the high output Ceramic pickups on my L400 Goldtop. With the alnico v pickups on the Cherryburst the difference was immediately noticable. Just no sing at all.
They do last a long time however, and the Daddarios dont last long at all before they go black. I need to experiment more with strings and the Daddarios are a good standard to measure to. Now to find the perfect strings which sound as good yet don't go black. When I find them I'll repost here.
In the mean time, the Harley Benton strings are fantastic for use on a practice guitar where you want great feel and long life and play mostly unamplified. Great price for this purpose, and keep the Daddarios for gigs.

I tour worldwide professionally, sometimes I only have one guitar, so I need a reliable set of strings. Harley Benton has NEVER let me down over the past 7 years, these are the strings I only use on all my guitars. You have to stretch a little bit more when restringing, no problem. These strings are more resilient against breakage that any other string I've used. They are not the absolute brightest at first, but they change very little in tone after a lot of playing. (They remind me if Fender Nickels)
I've had these strings on the guitar I have backstage/home for nearly 3 years.
