Soft and supple string with a beautifully mellow tone.
These strings are surprisingly soft and supple. They feel like the string tension is significantly lower and definitely make life easier for the left hand (assuming you are a right handed player).They also have a beautiful mellow tone that works particularly well on my electro acoustic which can be a little on the bright and brash side.I'd thoroughly recommend them for anyone who who's looking for something a little easier on the fingers or who would like to turn the 'brightness' down a touch on their acoustic or electro.

Great strings
Thought I would give these strings a try on my Takamine with a piezo pickup system.Lovely feel under the fingers and sound warm which is what I wanted.Sound good through the piezo and great for mic recording.Over all very pleased just wish they would do a 12 to 52 set.

Okish
These were to replace some expensive elixar nano coated strings and all I can say is that I don't see a massive difference. I wanted to tone down my Taylor 214ce and have already installed a set of ebony pins but i can't really tell any significant difference in the tone, maybe just a slight toning down. So all in all very similar to the elixar.

Great tone for Taylor GS Mini
Having struggled to find lighter gauge strings for a Taylor GS Mini these hit the sweet spot.I've found the shorter scale length has made the strings too tight to bend, especially as the guitar is set up for 12 and 13 gauge.Further, I've found the Taylor overly bright and was looking for a string to give a more mellow tone.I like my action very low and with other gauge strings managed as low as 1mm at top E 12th fret - yes, it can be done.Had to give the tiniest tweak to the truss rod to stop any buzz but these strings still manage about 1.5mm action.They have a lower tension, fuller sound and are wonderfully soft to the touch.

The perfect folk guitar string
If you play any kind of finger style and are looking for non-nylon strings, these are the ones to go for. They shine in the highs, their tone is incredible in the lows. Get yourself some, try them out, tell me I'm am idiot if I'm wrong. I won't be wrong though ;)

Easy to play, but dull, quiet and detune easily
I tried replacing Martin steel stings with these on my Guild F-130 OM guitar. The good: easy to play and bend, not taxing on the fingers. The bad: very dull and quiet sound, won't stay in tune. If you sing with any volume to a guitar of a moderate size, you would barely hear these strings. Bass is just non-existant. These strings may be OK for instrumental fingerstlyle or on a much larger guitar, but I'll be putting back the Martins again.
