Beautiful sounding strings but have serious flaws.

These strings have become hideously expensive. At these prices they're simply not worth the cost anymore.
Be aware that the G-string is not long enough for Fender-style headstocks with through body stringing.
These strings also have a problem with breakage if you loosen them for adjusting intonation/action etc. and then re-tighten them again. They have a nasty tendency to break just before they're back up to full tension. I've never had them break during normal use but these strings do NOT like to be loosened and re-tightened for setup.
The sound is amazing though. Modern but smooth. The highs are very clear and crisp but not harsh/clanky at all. The mids are beautiful. There's none of that "hollow" sound that many roundwounds suffer from. Very organic and detailed. The lows are solid but not overpowering. Not boomy at all. Perfectly balanced.
Because of the price, the short G-string and the problems with breakage I can't give these strings a top rating. The sound is AMAZING though so if you're not stringing through body, are willing to pay the insane price and can accept the risk of string breakage during setup... Highly recommended! But be aware of the risks.

Not bad, but ...

I would not buy anymore. In my view there are plenty of other manufacturers who produce better Round Wound strings like the IN344. I really like the Thomastik JF344 (Flatwounds), but not these ones...
