I love these strings and the price is the best I've found, and I look. I have no music store around, 80 miles to closest store, and they're a lot more expensive there so happy with Amazon deal. The phosphorus does seem to wear down faster than expected and the picture doesn't show that so I didn't post it. That's probably just my sweating it out. I quickly wipe down after every song or songs when played together so they last me a solid 3 months before they start sounding a little dead. I'm a very limited picker but write, sing and strumming constantly so I believe 3 months is a fair survival rate of time before changing out strings. I do save the old set of strings for replacement in event I break one.Medium light sounds best to me. Only the low E and A are a little bigger than full light strings. I prefer a bassier note on my folk bodies along with armrest to really kick out the deeper bass, just my preference, and they play as nice to me as lights. I'll certainly buy them again. Remember if the music is too loud, you're too old! 😂

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful sound on my Epiphone Hummingbird
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2021
I'm a beginner with one year of playing. I've tried several different brands and types of strings mostly to understand the differences. I've learning in a Blues/Folk track and listen to Neil Young, Dylan etc. Honestly of have nothing bad to say about any of the strings I've tried. They've all been great to experiment with and it's so amazing to hear the sound change with each.

The "Ernie Ball Earthwood Phosphor Bronze Medium Light Acoustic Guitar" are exceptional though. I can't nail down exactly what it is, but these strings sound amazing. I think it's a balance in the base and high tones/notes. The sound is clean but has something underneath that resonates.

Another weird thing... I've tried tons of different picks. I always come back to a specific pick not because it feels much different but because I don't hear it clicking when strumming. I regularly use different picks to experiment with playability and the change they have on the sound but always return to my favorites. These strings are different in how they react to the pick... for me. There's no click from the pick that normally distracts me.

Anyway - I like them a lot.
