Slightly more expensive but worth every penny
Let's get it out the way, yes these strings are expensive compared to the standard D'Addario line and other brands however this cost is outweighed by the fact I've had to change my strings less frequently. I appreciate that coated strings aren't for everyone but these are unreal. The tuning stability (usually my indicator for when I need to change strings) is great and they stay bright sounding and feel new for longer. I've never had one of these strings break on me and the only reason I had to change my last set was that I damaged one string by bumping my guitar. When I did change them all I had were a standard set of D'Addario Nickel Wound strings and the difference was immediately noticeable. If you're someone who finds themselves changing their strings all the time then there may be more financially viable options however I can't see myself using any other string in the future.

Great strings sounds great
Was recommended these by my guitar tech and they have been great to use, they have a waxy feel to them which makes them last a lot longer.

Cost effective
I love these strings,I've been using D'Addario nickels for years and even as good as they are I noticed I was getting more finger noise from them,I've tried other coated strings but didn't like the feeling of them,then I saw these and even though there a bit more expensive I thought I'd give them a try,I'm glad I did,no noise lovely tone and just as important they feel good,if they last 3 months it'll actually work out cheaper and as I have a few guitars I'll change them all to these,if you're on the fence just give them a shot,I'm certain you'll like them

Very happy
Purchased as recommended as good strings. Replaced factory strings and such a difference to the sound-solid sustain, vibrato. Great tone

Great alternative to another company that use to rule the roost in coated strings!
These sound fine, and have a nice feel when playing. The one thing I don't like is the way the string are packaged, prefer them in separate paper envelops, with the size of each clearly printed on (like other companies do). Its way too easy to select the wrong string, especially in a hurry or bad lighting, simply separate paper envelops with size clearly printed on is not going to cost much. If cost is an issue or 'greenness' reduce the outer packaging or get rid of your players circle promotions - really what a waste! Would have been 5 stars if not for this cheapskate packaging! Would I buy again - probably yes - depends on the deals!

La classe premium di D'Addario per me è ormai una garanzia di altissima qualità. Ottimo feeling al tatto e una durabilità imbattibile a confronto delle altre marche. Ormai uso la serie XS per tutti i tipi delle mie chitarre.
