Probably the best acoustic strings there is.
These strings work just great for me. After years of experimenting with various brands, I always come back to Elixir. For the acoustic guitar it's definitely the best option - strings stay fresh and "sparkly" for a longer time, even if playing regularly, and the protective cover they put on the strings somehow feels very comfortable. When using a fast-fret for cleaning, these strings retain the "just changed" feeling for at least some weeks. I also enjoy the phosphor bronze string sound - it's a bit more "mid-rangey" than bright in the upper end, but IMO that's the sound an acoustic guitar should aim for anyway.
Only con would be the price - Elixir costs almost twice as much as some other OK acoustic strings, but since they also last twice as long, it's worth it, although, when on a budget, it makes a difference.

Once you try them, you never look back
The first day with these strings may feel strange, they need a day or two to settle. But then the sound is brilliant, crisp. And they last for a very long time compared to other brands which justifies the price

Fire&forget solution
I put these on my Harley Benton OOO size every christmas and they stay on for a year. I rarely play the guitar (less than once a week), and these strings are a good solution for me for this usage. They don't corrode and although loose that "new string" feeling and sound within days, they are consistent throughout the rest of the year.

great strings, made my acoustic complete
So I always really enjoyed playing my acoustic guitars, especially the Baton Rouge X54S/OM-CHB. The body is on the smaller side and I was looking for strings to that make it sound fuller and and just a little more "out there".
The strings did just that. The guitar sounds fuller and the strings play amazingly, not only for strumming but also for fingerpicking stuff and licks.
Although I feel like when using a pick a lot you tear of the coating(?) after many hours of playing. I looks weird but still sounds good for a long time.
Happy I was recommended these strings and will herewith recommend other trying them! Great stuff!

Definitely worth paying a little extra
I've had a set of these on an acoustic in the house for around 2 years, and they still sound like I put them on last week. The slight increase in price is far outweighed by the extra durability, and consistency of sound.
There is no noticeable difference in the way the string feels, or sounds with the nanoweb coating, but they are able to withstand so much more playing without corrosion / dulling.
Would definitely recommend for any regularly gigging guitarists who would like to go through fewer sets of strings.

Elixir for my Baby
First time I was introduced to Elixir strings was when I got my Taylor BigBaby. I tried couple of other strings but for me Elixir Nanoweb feels the best. They sound bright but silky. I found them sit well in my mixes. They last long, I play all the time and change them every 6 month or so. All my Acoustic Guitars are equipped with K&K Sound 'Pure Mini' pick ups (which are great - please Thomann, have those on your offer!). I record 2 channels, one is Pure Mini and the other is Studio Project TB1 mic. Elixir Nanoweb 0.11 are just right for these setup.
I didn't like Polyweb version and my preference is 011 gauge.

The strings sound really great, and most importantly, for a long time. I change them about once every six months, when I have to play very often. If you rarely play the guitar, then in a year these strings will sound wonderful.
The timbre is pleasant, a little soft, and there are no unnecessary sounds.

What else can be said?
Elixirs all the way. Tried different brands and none of them (including the new D’addario’s XS) held up for so long. My hands are extremely sweaty and these strings in the combination with using GHS Fast Fret can easily tripple the lifespan of other brands, maybe even more. So at the end they will cost you less than cheaper strings because you won’t be changing them that often.
