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!

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.

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.

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.

I bought these strings for the first time and was pretty pleased with the sound. They are very bright and lively especially on my 0015M guitar. However, for my 2 dreadnoughts, I'll be switching back to Elixir strings. You can hear the difference when recording. They have a deeper, smoother quality. Don't get me wrong, D'addario are quality but not necessarily right for all guitars. Like most experienced players, you have to pick and choose until you find what best fits your instrument .

I tried the XS strings, and boy, do they make a difference! The really bring my Sire to a different level, very nicely balanced and no screeching when you slide your hand up and down the neck.
