CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great for sweaty-handed players like me! -
I tried these not knowing what to expect, and have been very pleasantly surprised. I tend to have sweaty hands, and my guitar strings get a lot of crud on them and then eventually rust. Although I have learned now to wipe them down each time I play, they still deteriorate pretty quickly, and it's a pain. When I wipe them down with a cloth, they leave black streaks of crud on the cloth.
The Elixirs are not as bright as other strings when you first put them on -- that is true. However, other strings lose their brightness after just a few hours of playing, so I don't see this as a major disadvantage. The advantage is that these strings get very little crud on them. When I wipe them down, there's nothing on the cloth! I've even stopped wiping my strings down as carefully.
So for a player like me, these are a godsend. I don't detect any loss of tone. They are a bit slippery, and some people have reported having trouble because of this, but it's fine for me.
Definitely they're worth a try. Although they're twice as expensive as regular strings, they'll last longer, so they're worth checking out! Ernie Ball makes titanium coated strings that I'm interested in trying out, and there are some other brands, too.

The Best Strings -
I play in a house band in a club in Charlotte, NC. These are the only strings I will use. I've tried many different types over the years, and I love these strings.
Worth the extra few bucks - 
I remember getting to try these out before they came on the market. At the time they were called 'Gore-Tex' or something like that. I wrote them back saying the coating was too thick. (I'm sure I wasn't the only one who said that).
Well now it's ten years later and they have a very successful product on their hands. Make sure you get the NANOWEB version, unless you're a jazz player. The 'polyweb' coating is just too thick for my tastes. It really mellows the tone of the strings a lot. The coating on the nanowebs is just right.
I used to play D'Addarios. After you play on these for an hour or two, they sound like a 2 day old set of D'Addarios. This is perfect, especially because they sound like that for WEEKS!
I gig quite a bit, and these will go for about a month before the tone goes dead enough to be objectionable. I usually change them out before then, just to prevent string breakage. With that said, these strings are not any more prone to breakage than other brands.
I also like the fact that the newer version (been out for a year or two now) has anti-rust coating on the E, B, and G strings as well. This makes a big difference to someone like me, who has sweaty hands. The anti-rust really does work.
Downsides? Well, price is one.
The other would be the fact that if you're addicted the zing factor you get with brand new strings, you may be dissapointed. Out of the box, these are deader sounding than a new set of GHS, Ernie Balls, D'Addarios, etc. But if you compare them a week later, the Elixirs will still be sounding as good as the day you put them on.
Tired of rusty strings? no more!! -
i am an ocasional player, mostly at home, some gigs once in a while, and i used to suffer whenever i went a long time without playing my guitars because no matter how much i wiped them after playing they always become rusty and lose tone very fast.
since i have elixirs on all my guitars i can go for months without changing strings with hardly any lose in tone and no rust at all!! it has changed my life for the better, if you gig or play ocassionally no other brand will last as long!!
