Like these strings a lot… they hold up well and sound great. I’m using them on my electric and acoustics.

I have played guitar for 25 years. In that time, I never liked coated strings. Still, I burn through strings so frequently that I really needed to do something. I bought a new Taylor that had these XS strings already on it, though I didn't know that at the time. After really enjoying the feel and sound, I noticed these strings weren't wearing out as quickly. I contacted Taylor and found out they were D'Addario XS 12-53s. I couldn't believe it! These were coated strings?! So, I bought packs for all of my guitars. Electric and Acoustic. I've tried different gauges but every pack of XS strings has been wonderful. For me, they sound good, they feel good and THEY LAST! Playing several hours each day, I can now go months between string changing. As opposed to every week or so before. After much use, I can see little bits of the coating fray but oftentimes (especially early on) you can't even tell they're coated. Bottom line, if you're tired of changing strings all the time, and want to give coated strings a try, THESE ARE FOR YOU.

Feeling wise, pretty much the same as the other "nano" string out there. Sound wise, hated them for 3 days because they were super bright (even after stretching). After breaking in they sound fine, maybe not as loud as a nano but sound good. String bending is quite nice I will say. Longevity, I'm actually surprised. The have surpassed their EXP line & definitely their XT line of strings. Like that nano stuff they do not tarnish quick which I like. The only down fall to me for these strings, the price. They aren't worth it at all. I get that nano stuff regularly in the $12 range and they will last for 2 to 3 months. EJ16's you can get 3 sets dirt cheap and those 3 sets will last longer than these by at least a month to 2. This is for me, I play anywhere from 1 to 2 hours daily, 7 days a week. If these hold up to longer than 2 months and they drop their price to something appropriate ($12), these would be my everyday strings for sure. EDIT: One thing I would like to add, bar none the greatest tuning stability I have seen in any string yet. It's probably been 3 or 4 hours of playing since the last tweak in tuning. Granted my guitar room/bedroom I keep right around 50% humidity so the guitars don't change much. When I say any string yet, think this brand, that other famous coated brand, and the sesame street ball brand, are what I have used :) Update 10/10/2021: They are still going pretty strong at almost 3 months in with 1+ hours a day average use time. Durability seems to be on point with the other major coated brand, and I just noticed that other brand jacked their price up to match these. I am going with a set of EXP16's after these are dead to see how much of a difference there is. Seems the EXP brand is a bigger favorite over the years.

Pros: Exceptional Sound Quality: Incredible sound quality and rich tone from these strings. They offer brightness and richness that elevate the overall playing experience. Longevity and Durability: I play pretty hard weekly and these strings won't break for months. Even after months of use, they maintain their tone and playability, providing consistent performance over time. Ease of Use: Strings have a smooth feel and have reduced string noise. Your fingers will glide effortlessly along the strings, and your playing will definitely see improvement. In conclusion, the D'Addario Guitar Strings - XS Phosphor Bronze Coated offer exceptional sound quality, longevity, and ease of use. I think they give my guitar a bright and rich tone. Opinions seem to vary on their value compared to standard strings, but I think these are well worth the money to elevate your playing.

These strings feel great. The coating is perfect. The strings are louder and project more than other phosphor bronze strings. The downside is they feel like they have more tension and stiffness. But it’s really a superior sound and feel if you can handle the tension.

I love these strings! They sound so beautiful to me, the crisp sound just doesn't seem to fade and I play hours daily. They're strong and I've only broken two strings in years, but that was my fault messing around with too many different tuning in such a short period of time, I also don't have the highest quality acoustic guitar with top of the line tuning pegs. Another nice bonus is the Player's Circle Points. They have a code on the packaging you enter into D'Addario's website and after a redeeming the codes on a few sets, you can can get free products. You still have to buy a bit before but I'm not going to turn down a free set of strings or a capo or whatever anytime soon. People complain about the price a lot but in my opinion they're worth it. A 3 pack lasted me over 6 months of daily use. Take from that what you will lol Shipped basically in record time as well.

Amazon KundeReviewed in Germany on November 10, 2024

Top-Saiten. Habe mir eine Martin-Gitarre gekauft und der Händler hat extra diese D'Addario-Gitarrensaiten aufgezogen (normal wäre die Gitarre mit Original-Martin-Saiten geliefert worden). Er meinte, diese klingen super und halten einfach länger. Ja, und genau so wars dann auch. Die Saiten sind zwar beschichtet (für längere Haltbarkeit!), aber das merkt man (im Gegensatz z. B. zu Elexir-Saiten) kaum bis gar nicht – was mich wirklich überzeugt hat, da ich eigentlich mit beschichteten Saiten überhaupt gar nichts anfangen kann. Die Saiten brauchen eine ganze Weile, bis sie ihr volles Klangspektrum entfalten, halten es dann aber sehr lange (3 Monate kein Problem). Preislich leider etwas teuer, aber insgesamt sehr gute und empfehlenswerte Saiten.Hab sie mitllerweile auf mehrer meiener Gitarren aufgezogen.
