KYB struts are reputable but they aren't known for being softer. I also know of issues with the easy strut assemblies causing clunking sounds.
Pros: reputable
Cons: clunking sounds

I went with all KYB on my 07. I don’t like them. I feel like they are much stiffer
Cons: much stiffer
Mileage: 320000 km
Bought KYB’s from summit racing and did the job for under $300 parts.
Pros: affordable parts
I put KYB on my 2010 and it road very harsh. Then I put the on my 2016 still harsh but a bit better
Cons: very harsh ride
I ordered up bare kyb excel-g struts. Went ahead and installed them. But the ride is harsh. I'd say ride quality is a 3 out of 10 in town 5 out of 10 on the highway. I think the new struts are acting fine. It's just the springs are so tight and don't allow any forgiveness. The handling is great around the corners.
Pros: great handling
Cons: harsh ride, stiff springs
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I’ve had good results with kyb.
Pros: good results
I just ordered the kyb loaded strut assembly and put them on all 4 sides last week and they feel great
Pros: feel great
Installed the rear leafs, beam, new KYB struts, the mk3 GTI stub axles, now just waiting on new bearings, rotors, pads, and calipers for both sides.

I replaced mine with KYBs all around last year. Rides excellent and doesn't feel stiff. Reused the springs.
Pros: excellent ride, not stiff
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
I prefer KYB but I have used Gabriel and Monroe with good results. The KYB’s had a noticeably better ride than the other choices.
Pros: noticeably better ride
