It's really self explanatory, these were brand new strings and they made my guitar sound better.
Something to brighten my deep, dark guitar. October 1, 2009

I have a Breedlove which sounds terrific, but always wanted a little more top, and a little brighter sound. Tried several kinds of strings before seeing a review of these in which some people were complaining that the strings were "too bright" on their Taylor, I think.... I figured it was perfect for my guitar, which was never quite bright enough.
So far I'm pretty happy with the sound! Cheaper than coated strings, and with the help of some "String-ease" these have lasted me a while and still sound great.
 Decent. June 4, 2010

I decided to switch from Elixir acoustic strings to the more economically practical Ernie Ball Strings...
I got the strings on the guitar with ease. I start playing and I notice the strings are quite 'grippy' (my fingers easily stuck to the strings). This could be good or bad depending on your playing style; however I had been using Elixirs (they coat the strings with a finish to help ease the wear on the strings which in turn makes the strings more 'slippery' giving you easier finger transfer from fret to fret) and it took awhile to get used to the grip.
Anyways, just an observation, no big deal. The big deal was after an hour or two of playing I looked at the tip of my fingers: a dark grey line had formed on the tip of my middle finger. I looked at all six strings and they looked as if I did a month of playing on them in two hours. The crisp shine of the new strings were replaced with dark smudges over each of the frets that I had played on the most (my fingers were spotless before I played). The outer coating had been easily rubbed off of the strings within less than 120 minutes of play time. I have been using Ernie Ball Strings since I bought my first guitar years ago. This has never happened to me.
Another con: The warm sound I was used to getting with my Elixir strings was replaced with a more tinny/dull sound. The sound is not bad but it is just not as good as you could be getting (at least for my guitar).
They are only $5 so if you have the money try them out and see for yourself. As for myself, I am going to go back to using Elixirs. I still use Ernie Ball strings for my electric guitar, but I won't ever skimp again when it comes to a necessary component for my acoustic.
3/5
