Ideal hybrid strings
These strings sound amazing, very bright and full sounding. Much more bendable and playable than the 13s. Perfect balance for both finger style and strumming. They feel premium and hold up well for months of playing. They were pretty easy to install, just make sure you have a good pair of wire cutters.

Bright, Balanced, and Comfortable Strings!
I’ve been using D’Addario EJ15 Phosphor Bronze strings for my acoustic guitar, and they never disappoint. The light gauge (10–47) makes them very easy on the fingers, perfect for beginners or anyone who enjoys smooth playability. The tone is bright yet warm, with excellent clarity for fingerpicking and strumming. They also hold tuning really well and last longer than most other strings I’ve tried. After a few weeks of daily playing, they still sound fresh and lively. If you want a reliable set of strings with consistent quality, this 3-pack is a fantastic value. Highly recommended!

Absolutely wonderful set of strings!
These strings are wonderful! They are extremely durable out of the box, and take little stretching to make sure they tune all the way up. I've had no worries with restringing about them popping in my eyes which makes me feel a lot better about them. They sound amazing too! They are bright and lovely, with little buzz! (I have an older Takamine that tends to have issues with string buzz due to the wearing action, but these sound lovely!) They feel great overall and aren't as rough as other strings I've had in the past. Overall a great product and couldn't recommend more!

Quality and Price
I thought I would give this brand a try on my 12 string acoustic guitar. I've had them on the gtr for over a month now. I think they sound very good, have seen no stretching and causing out of tune. They are a quality strong. I would have gave 5 stars except for one reason. I don't think they sound as good as my normal (mart**) strings. I would still recommend them.

D'addario Are Great Strings
Diario are great guitar strings used by professionals. These are a 9 guage, and I loved them; unfortunately I broke a string trying to change them myself (it was my first time, as I am a beginner) and my Luthier put 10's on. Also D'addario. But the 9's are perfect for beginners. The 9's feel wonderful and light on the fingers, and as I am an adult with tiny hands, it makes reaching for chords really a lot easier. D'ddarios are also known for their long playability; they last for months. Highly reccomend.

Very good strings
I finally found strings that sounds great. I tried many others but in my opinion these are the best for me.

Converted Elixir strings - hear the difference without breaking the bank
I’ve been an Elixir brand string buyer for my acoustic guitars for years. When a good friend recommended these, I gave them a shot knowing that if wasn’t impressed she would buy them from me. Changed out with strings and I absolutely LOVE them, and the price for a five pack of strings is reasonable. The tone it pulls from my guitars makes me want to play them more. Excellent quality, bright and balanced tone. I’m a believer!!
