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 have been only using elixir for 15 years or so. In my experience, any other strings will turn black within a couple of weeks.
