Exceptional Tone and Long-Lasting Performance!
These D’Addario XS Phosphor Bronze strings have completely won me over. Right out of the package, they felt smooth and played beautifully. The tone is warm and balanced—perfect for everything from fingerstyle to strumming.What really impressed me is how long they last. The ultra-thin coating protects without dulling the sound, and after weeks of regular playing, there's no fraying or loss of tone. Plus, they stay in tune exceptionally well thanks to the NY Steel core and Fusion Twist tech.The resealable packaging is a nice touch, and the Players Circle points are an incredible bonus. Made in the USA and clearly made with care—I'll definitely be sticking with these!

I used to use Elixir now I will be a D'Addario XS user for life. They are simpyl wonderful IMO.
Over the last 30 yrs I've bought nearly every brand of string there is, and most are great, some are excellent, and these are the upper end of excellent in my personal opinion. I used to use Elixirs (and I still like them) but I've been solely using D'addario XS coated strings for several years now and I've never looked back. They feel SO good, slippery enough yet dry, unlike when you use something like Fast Fret which gets your fingers a little oily. These strings have that slick feel simply from the coating, and even the non-wound strings are slick and stay that way, they don't get corroded and coarse feeling, just wonderful. And these things last forever, even on acoustics the sound stays crisp, unless you use a metal pick.

Must try
WOW! First time trying these strings, and they are AWESOME. I put them on an old hummingbird dreadnought guitar, and I just love the tones. Strings produce great sound volume without forfeiting highs or lows, or sounding like an airport.Best strings I've personally experienced.

Why so expensive? I found out why.
At first I thought… why are these strings so dang expensive? I been using high-quality Martin strings for less than half the price. I needed new strings so I thought I would give these a shot and I have to say they are the best strings I’ve ever had on my Taylor mini GS. They feel great and they sound awesome.

Great for small bodied acoustic
Amazing strings. Sound excellent on a smaller body guitar like my Baby Taylor.Definitely prefer the Elixer Nanowebs on The Grand Auditorium though. Nothing compares thus far.

A lot easier to play
Used to play 13’s on my acoustic but it’s been killing my fingers and buzzing more cause I get finger fatigue. Switched to these new custom 11’s and they’re great. Yes I lost some low end but I can make it back with correct eq in the sound system.

Beautiful sound
So I did alot of research, I wanted the best strings I could find for my acustic. I play a taylor gs mini walnut. These strings are wild. My daughter said it sounds like I'm play through an amp. The best sound comparison would be it sounds like the gutiar from pink Floyd wish you were here. I'm very impressed and will buy these from now on.
