Well, I just thought it was my imagination the first time I replaced my strings with Daddario round wounds, but I really hate the way they sound new. Just replaced the strings on another of my basses with Daddarios, and I hate the sound. Again. But I really like the way my Daddarios sound once they're old-ish. Not lifeless, but certainly not zingy. Is there a string that sounds like this new when it comes out of the package? I might be a candidate for flats. Any thoughts?

New strings that are close to dead strings

ghs precision flats , sound nice and dead when brand new compared to other flats imho
La Bella Slappers. Nickel wrapping over steel core and yet they are less bright than pure nickel.
When I got them, I replaced a 1 to 1,5 months old set of d-addarios exl-220 and the LaBellas sounded almost the same.
