Quality:
I have had a few G strings break on me, but I use the thicker wound G's because I only play 12 Gauge strings, but keep in mind I beat the living crap out of my strings, other then that these strings last forever and maintain their sound.

Sound:
I've been playing for years, and these strings have nice bright tones and nice deep lows for rocking out. Just remember, the thicker the string the better the tone.

Feature:
The ‘early‘ Exixir strings felt strange. You really could feel the coating layer. That changed over the years, in a way that now they feel normal. I can do my pulls and hammers like with normal strings (wich was not the case with the early once).

Quality:
They SUCK! I think over the last three years I bought 10 sets, but with all of them the G or D string broke after a few hours of playing. And since they are very costly (almost 20 Euro‘s !!) this really gets me angry. Elixir doesn‘t make stings of their own, they just put the coating on existing strings. So I guess they only buy the cheap & crappy ones. And it's not just me : if you browse the newsgroups you'll read everywhere of snapping Exilir strings! When I replaced the broken string with a normal one, I have to admit that the Elixirs kept sounding just great : warm, full, and when hit/pulled a little harder they they realy bite, whereas the replacement strings sounded more dull after a week.

Value:
Elixir-guys, get your quality control working!!

Desirability:
I want ALL strings to last longer than a few hours.

Sound:
I have tried several sets over the last three years and they sound GREAT on my Santa Cruz D and on my Seagull.

Ease of Use:
Well... like normal strings. I read some people find they were slippery, but since I hardly have sweaty hands, they don‘t feel slippery to me.

Support:
Well, my local music shop wouldn't replace the broken strings. They' re from the USA and I'm from Belgium. And asking a replacement by sending the broken string costs me more than a new set.

Overall:
Again : I don't want to replace strings because one of them snaps. I only want to replace them because they sound dull and are worn out because of playing.

Quality:
Poorly built, the nanowebs break too fast, sometimes they break when simply winding up the string.

Value:
I have only been playing guitar for a year, yet I have tried numerous sets of strings on my Crafter guitar. Elixir Nanowebs break at least 3 times more regularly than other brands. They are a total waste of money. I have broken 3 B strings over the last 7 weeks. They are beginning to gain a terriblre reputation for longevity. Sweet sound though - terrible build quality-AVOID!

Feature:
about as many features as a guitar string can have but hard to bend

Quality:
the strings already look like they have been on there for like 4 months and they have only been on there for 2 weeks sound good still not that new sound like they claim to keep they are pretty good strings but not worth the money at all

Value:
i usually use d'addario xl 10 gague standard run of the mill guitar string but they work in the best of all aspects or super slinkys for my guitars with floyd rose bridges for bending

Desirability:
these strings are highly over rated i will never waste my money on them again

Sound:
sounded pretty good about as good as regular strings

Support:
didnt have to use it but i feel bad for rating this product so poorly
