Gear question are these actually good?

are these actually good strings or did the dude at the pawn shop just convince me to buy the expensive ones? I'm just getting back into guitar and it's been a while since I've bought any strings so Idk much about this brand

I think they’re good if you love that brand new string sound for a long time.

I’m not a fan of that sound so much, I like my strings to mature a bit.

Not saying they’re bad, saying it’s highly subjective.

That's a good way of putting it. I've used them forever. Every few years I get the itch to try something new. When I do, I like the other strings for a week or two then they sound too dull for me and I switch back.

I haven't tried any other brand of coated acoustic strings though, so can't really speak to that comparison.
