These strings are top notch, especially on inexpensive acoustic guitars . They have a nice bell-like chime which lasts a surprisingly long time with note clarity that doesn’t muddy up on complex chords, plenty of length for extra long scale necks, I have never had one break or slip tuning live, and I find the light gauge to be very smooth playing allowing easy bends and double stops. Great sounding durable strings for a great price.

Size: Single Pack
I don't usually write reviews, but these deserve praise. I have never used this brand of guitar strings before, and this time around they were cheaper than my usual brand. I tell you, these guitar strings set up on my 12 string quite nicely. It took tuning the guitar, then a couple adjustments after stringing for them to hold tune. These strings sound great even though I only heard them while tuning. Normally guitar strings need at least a day to settle but these seem like they are already there. I will still let these settle over the next few days to be safe, but these could be my new favorite brand. Bravo!

I bought the Ernie Ball Earthwood Phosphor Bronze Light Gauge (11-52) for my acoustic guitar and couldn't be more satisfied. From the first strum, I felt the difference: the tone is warm, with bright highs and deep lows, perfect for playing. The feel is very smooth, easy on the fingers, and they hold their tune even after several hours of use. They're uncoated, but they've still lasted longer than expected with just a little cleaning after playing. The price is excellent considering the professional sound quality they deliver. I've been testing strings for a few months, and these are definitely among my favorites. I highly recommend them. Score: 5 out of 5. I will definitely buy them again!
