I use these (and EJ80s, which appear to be the same thing in a different package) on a Freshwater octave mandola. I'm mostly a chordal player so I want strings that respond well when I hit them hard -- these lose their initial janglyness fairly quickly, so they work well for me. Playing at a couple of sessions a week, I get through three or four sets of these in a year.
The top two courses are a bit light; I'd like it if they did a 46 32 24 14 set. But close enough!

Solid strings
I bought the Thomann octave mandolin and bought these as spare strings. On a side note, I'm not sure if they actually use the very same strings on these Thomann brand instruments they sell, but it sounded pretty much identical before and after first string change - good.
They sound good and I never broke a string before I changed them to freshen up, months on end. But from my experience, the mandolin family tends to destroy picks and not strings :)
