Excellent strings. Never had a problem with them.

Nothing more to say. Daddario strings you can trust on! Good quality, good price.

Sounded great, didn't last too long though

The strings sound great, but they broke rather quickly (after using them for a month or so).

Pour tous les jours

Mon jeu de corde standard passe partout... ne dure pas des lustres mais ça ce n'est pas un critère sur la qualité du son.

The richest sounding guitar strings I know

Very clear and present sound, perfect value for money

Great for fingerpicking

I put this on my Cort dreadnought because I only use it for fingerpicking. The strings are of a great quality and they sound good for months. They still sound warm even it's only 0.11 on the E string.

Can't go wrong with these strings. A really classic set that works for most applications

Unreliable strings - Disappointed

I thought switching from Elixir to these D'addario won't be a bad choice, but I was very wrong.

The strings changed their colour in few days, turned rusty in two weeks, and immediately upon setup, the tone of my acoustic guitars disappeared. One of them even sounded so bad like a cheap 50€ acoustic. There is a reason apparently why some strings are 15€ vs 5-7€.

I don't understand why the rest give high scores, maybe my standards and expectations are quite high... anyway the last tryout with D'addario will be their NYXL model, and probably that would be it.

Decent budget strings

These are decent and nice. Very happy with them. OF course they are not world class but for the price they are fantastic. Buy.

Daddario Strings

Ordered this strings as one of xmas presents for my boyfriend. He plays

Yamaha FG830 and always uses these strings, he loves them. Daddario EJ26 are pretty longlasting - 1 month of playability and nice sound are ensured, sure when you play something about 2 hours a day, not 8.

These strings are good enough to play Folk, Blues and similar music.

We use condeser microphone for recording and the result is great.

So, to sum up my review here are some pros and cons:

pros:

1) great, rich bronze sound

2) pretty longlasting

3) reliable (never got a broken string)

4) easy to set up and hard to confuse, strings are color coded

cons:

1) at the beginning they sound metallic and a little time must pass

to get the right sound

2) not the cheapest ones

Pros cover cons and make Daddario EJ26 strings one of the best acoustic strings. Sure there are more options, some of them are better, but their price are nearly 2 times higher. These strings have

great Price/Quality ratio.

Cheers and have fun playing msic.
