Elixir Strings are the best!
I have played with many different kinds of strings and i have to say that this one is the BEST. I sound is rich and smooth and simply MIND BLOWING, not to mention they last a lot longer than other strings. You don't have to replace it as often because it is coated and is perfect for people with sweaty hands. Seems a bit more pricey, but worth it in the long run.

Best acoustic strings ever
I'm not sure how anyone can give Elixir strings any less than a perfect score. With the exception of the semi-high price point, Elixir's last 3x as long than the average acoustic string, and they never feel like rusty coat hangers, no matter how long they've been on yor guitar. I own a Taylor 710 L-30 and a 414ce, and wouldn't think of stringing them with anything else. Their brightness, longevity, and tone are worth the price.

Best Sounding Acoustic strings but not good for alternate tunings
I absolutely love the way these strings sound and feel. They have the brightest sound and they last about 2 or times longer than your average acoustic string.
The downside? Elixer acoustic strings are more exspensive than your average acoustic string. For any serious guitar player this shouldn't be a big issue. My main problem with the elixers is that they are horrible for detuning. I play a lot of funky tunings where I'll raise or drop my strings 2-3 steps. It never fails, the high E string and the G string always break when I detune.
So In short if I were keeping my guitar in standard tuning or drop D only I would keep my acoustic strung with these, unfortunately with the amount of detuning I do and the price point of these strings it makes it difficult to warrant the purchse of them

Best Strings Ever
I've had these strings on my guitar for 2 months and they havent broken or even shown the lightest rust. The coating on these strings are perfect for finger picking.

Good sound.. spotty reliability
I exclusively used Elixirs on all my acoustics but the G string always breaks first whether it be 1 minute or 1 month after they've been on.. don't get why this widespread issue is still a problem with Elixirs but it's there.

Wow
Tried these on my Martin DX1 and I am blown away. Everyone always talks about Elixir strings so I finally broke down and tried some, now Im a believer. The string feel great and have lasted me considerably longer than any other sting I have used. The sustain blew me away right out of the box and has not lost much even after a couple months of regular playing. I never clean my strings but these guys have stayed noticeably cleaner. These really brought my guitar to life. As an amateur with only a couple years playing I noticed an immediate difference, that says something about their quality. Price is worth it as they have outlasted other strings x3.

Elixir strings are Heavenly sounded!!!!
I've been playing guitar for four years now, and i've tried so many brands, including martin and cleartone. Elixir strings are just very different sounding than other guitar strings. It sounds very briliant and clear. However, the G string is kind of weak out of the six. it brakes easily compare to other strings. I tried cleartone because of that, but i was not satisfied with the sound that provides. i rather compromise the G string and just play carefully than to miss out the beauty of the sound of Elixir. You could buy martin for longer life of the strings, but the sound quality of the Elixir is uncomparable.
If you don't believe me try it yourself!

Sounds amazing change them alot though
Im going to put it out there, they break alot. But the thing about these strings is you play them for the sound. If you play for fun and pick your guitar up once a day to just jam at home, i would use another long lasting brand. But if you perform every day then change them once a week. Their sound is above any other string. same with the feel, they are very smooth. they are great strings, just know that you will be going through them alot.

Havent had better.
Although I have only been playing for 2 yrs, these strings have lasted a while. I Like to jam out a couple hours a day on my acoustic and im hitting the bottom strings pretty hard for a blues'e feel. Ive had these same strings on for about 6 months and they still sound like new. I recommend puttin them on your guitar any day !!!
