Elixir Acoustic strings have the best sound and last the longest of any of the strings I've tried... And I was a GM of a music store for many years. They do cost a little more than your average string but the quality is absolute. There is nothing that can compete with the sound.

Elixirs do cost more money than most strings. However, they do last longer than most strings (about 3 times as long). They are bright strings. And they stay bright for about 1-2 years, for my light usage anyways. So the higher price point balances out since you are changing your strings less. They feel very soft as well. Very much like a satin coating on the strings.

I have tried all 3 kinds of strings by elixir and the nanoweb are the best. Not only do they out last the other 2, sound better and don't hurt your fingers.

Stay away from over priced "coated" strings

I would professionally recommedn the Jon Pearse string or the DF'Addario. They are both better sounding, crisper strings.
You might not hear it depending on the level of player and the type of music that you play. The overtones and complexity of the sound is not nearly as brilliant on these strings as other strings. Elxir strings may last longer and I can vouch for them in doing so as I did a pro- demo. I would prefer to change my strings more often and go for a better less expensive string. The asking price for these (I pay little or nothing for guitar strings as a touring musician so it makes no difference to me), is ridiculous.
All the best!

These strings last a long time and sound very nice and bright. No wonder why Taylor uses them exclusively.
