Not worth the money

You may wonder why spend 15 EUR on Elixir if you can have the same for 5 EUR made by HB? Because it's better to invest 15 EUR that to waste 5 EUR. The string had zome new-string-zing, but at the very beginnig I've noticed that the guitar sounds less live and vibrant in the midrange. After the zing weared out through one day of playing, the guitar was dead and I've immediately changed to new set of Elixirs and immediately was sure I was right. Beside, the surface of HB is harsh, end Elixirs are smooth. Some people like it harsh, so maybe it's for you then.

Last string broke in two days

I was excited to try the coated acoustic strings as someone had given me the electric coated ones and I was blown away. But the excitment was short lived as the high string broke in two days after not even some very hard playing. I string my guitars with the over and under method and it has never given me any problems on any other guitars or string sets. I do not recommend them. And it's a shame because they otherwise sound pretty good. The really good deal is in the electric ones though!
