I have been a devotee of Elixir strings for many years but finally decided to give your XS strings a try, and glad I did. They are a bit more expensive, but my ears and fingers tell me they are superior, and I will be using your strings going forward. Thanks!-MWR
Good strings if you like coated strings. They last longer, so I usually do use the coated. No complaints, they sound great!
It's really easy to shop on the site and these are my go to strings
Sound great, long lasting, too expensive.
I'm so happy I made the switch to these strings.
These strings seem to hold their tone the longest on all my Tayor guitars, especially with all the gigging I do.
I've liked these strings on every guitar I've put them on. Highly recommended.
Been using for a long time on all our guitars. No reason to change.
Still can't get over how much more I like these on my acoustics than the purple pack I used forever.
They sound better for my style.
They feel better.
And they last me 3 times longer, sometimes more.
My current favorite strings. But, Elixir Attune strings are pretty close.
These are the strings that came on my new Taylor. The guitar played great in the store and sounded pretty good too, but once I got home I switched them over to my usual acoustic strings and had it professionally set up. Played it that way for a couple of weeks and something just wasn’t right. It didn’t sound like I wanted it to and seemed harder to play. Switched back over to the XS strings and there it was, great tone and the playability was so easy. These are definitely the strings for my Taylor. Thanks D’Addario for a great set of strings.
love the feel and sound
My new purchase of D'Addario XS phosphor bronze 12-53 strings are of a supreme quality and the tone is exquisite when play either unplugged or through my amp. True value for money. Thank you
Excellent strings with great tone and longevity. Good value.
I was hesitant to try coated strings, as my past experience hasn’t been great. But the XS strings are a whole new beast. They sound great right from the start, I’m hoping they last as advertised. I’ll report back.
These are the first extended life strings that I actually like. The other popular brand that has coated strings I would always break the G so it defeated the purpose in having the extended life
The XS strings are not only durable reliable and last a very long time, they also feel great.
Love these strings!
No problem with the strings at all, I've had a great run but chose a lighter gauge and still adjusting.
I have been using d'Addario strings for many years and recently tried the XS Phosphor Bronze coated, and have never looked back. Clear ringing tones that last for 3 times or more that regular uncoated strings.
Actually a better value as a result!

Long Lasting! Silky smooth to play.
nice
My favorites for my OM size Alvarez laureat lf70e. Also use them for my d10e, but I also bounce back to 13s often. I like the lifespan and how easy are them to play.
Best strings I have ever played. Used on every guitar I have.
Perfect for my Gibson J45. Great tonal balance across the whole range including DADGAD tuning.
All time favorite string for all of my acoustics.
Pretty good strings, —I’ve been using them for about 4 years (playing out).. summer heat outside in FL, I only get about 4-6 shows, the coating wears out and the strings loose resonance—
Great buy
I’m very pleased with the quality and sound of the strings, but since I haven’t bought guitars strings for a long time I was dismayed by the fact that the strings are no longer individually packaged. Not the end of the world, but it seems like an inconvenience for a minor cost savings.
Good tone, but way, way too noisy on slides
Good sound very smooth
XS is breathing new life into coated strings. With its ultra-thin film coating on every wound string and unique polymer treatment on the plain steels, XS offers the highest level of protection for maximum life with an uncommonly smooth feel. XS is the most innovative string ever created.
"XS strings are perfect for the studio - super smooth while reducing finger noise without sacrificing tone. I can't wait to take them on tour!"
– Mike Dawes
"I will say that I love these strings. They sound great, feel great and take a pummeling for a long time and maintain both a great tone and feel"
– Greg Koch
“XS sounds and feels better than any coated string I’ve played. After playing for two weeks straight, I didn’t notice any change from the day I put them on. They have a longer life and I also like their slickness.”
– Seiji Igusa
"Great sound. I don't normally go for coated strings of any kind but these are the best I've tried."
– Tom Bukovac
"Before D'Addario XS, I boke three strings on a nine date tour of China. Since I started playing XS, I've played over 30 shows, and not a single one broke. What does that say?"
- Marcin
