They have a great crisp, clean sound when I fingerpick and have nice sustain.

Sound incredible with crisp, bright tone and great sustain

It is true that new Elixirs are very bright in tone, while the D'Darrios have a nice warm tone at the start, but in my view, after about two weeks the Elixirs are broken in and keep a warm tone with great sustain for months after.

When I first put these strings on the sounded great, good tone and sustain, but after 2 weeks were totally dead.

Mostly, just love the sound, not quite as crisp as the Lights but really carry the tone so well and great sustain

They were not as bright sounding or crisp as I'm used to with a new set of strings.

Been playing guitar 35 years and honestly can't believe the poor quality of these strings.

The quality of the strings are great and they produce a lighter sound than I like but the coated strings do feel nice on the fingers

They are very reasonably priced but are very good quality

D'Addario has and continues to make top quality guitar strings.

The benefit of coated strings is, as the box says, longer life.

In my husband's opinion (a true audiophile in all senses of the word), "the D'Addario EXPs are the most natural-sounding, longest-lasting coated strings available that I have used."According to the manufacturer, EXP coated phosphor bronze strings produce warm, bright, well balanced acoustic tone and 4 times more life

The sound and feel quite similar and I really appreciate the long life both offer

I've tried other strings and can't get enough life out of them

beautiful sound, long life, a little slipperier than elixirs but good

A little too much squeak but sounds good!!so much better priced than its competition, I got mines through subscribe and save and save a lot I did !!

They are cheap (about 1/3 the price of Elixirs), so I guess if you don't mind replacing your strings every couple weeks then these aren't necessarily bad

I`m happy with my buy, 'cuase this strings are very nice and the price is very good too

The price on the strings is good, better than retail, and worth the effort.

Use them on my Martin and really get the sound I want, need from a good set of strings for a reasonable price.

After checking a number of competitors, I selected this well-rated product

Great seller, product excellent working condition.highly recommended

I don't know what it was, other than just an inferior product

Sorry, but inferior product, but still works

Every time, I come back to D'Addario because they make just excellent products.

I certainly recommend D'Addario nylon strings on classical guitars.

They were not as bright sounding or crisp as I'm used to with a new set of strings.

If you have a too bright, 'brassy' sounding acoustic, try these out

I remember when I first started playing I thought that the similarly-coated Elixir strings were the bee's knees, but after playing for a while began to prefer the tone of the less expensive D'Addario strings as they seemed to break in quicker and not retain that twangy sound as long as the Elixirs.

They aren't as smooth as D'addario's Silk and Steel/Silver strings that I have on my other acoustic, but those lack a certain amount of mid range sounds as well

The coating is not supposed to flake off on these because it is underneath the wrap

I have used D'Addario acoustic guitar strings for many years, and D'Addario's EXP coating works well for me

The coating just makes the strings squeakier and scratchier, flat picking or finger plucking.

The coating on these strings is not as slick as on Elixir strings, but it's noticeably there in comparison with the standard D'Addarios.

It's because these strings ring like new very a very long time and the coating does not hinder the natural ring

I thought that I needed a really expensive guitar in order to get great sound, and, although that's true to an extent, strings are just as important if not more important.

Bright sounding guitar strings that have beautiful dynamics

After changing my strings and putting these in, my guitar sounds much different, much better

I didn’t think strings were so important but it turned a $150 cheap guitar to a concert-ready tone.

great acoustic guitar strings, bright tone and lasts longer than expected

My high E is always breaking

My high E is always breaking

They are working great on my Martin and will purchase again with fair pricing and quick delivery from Amazon.

But in practice, they seem like more of a compromise: less long-lasting than the Elixirs, but with less of a "slick" feel

I have them on my hummingbird, they have a nice feel and tone

They also lack the slippery feel of the Elixer coated strings, and they last a long, long time.

The feel is not has smooth as the Elixir counterpart but the sound and playability in terms of bending strings make up for it.

Elixir have less noise and slicker feel, but didn't seem to last as long.

Just went to put them on my Gibson acoustic and the G string broke before I could get it up to "G"

I did have the high G string break once on a set while installing them, but a quick email direct to D'Addario fixed that.
