great for what they are. a string that is supposed to sound decent for a long, long time. and imo they do that. i like other strings better also, as long as i'm playing my acoustic regularly. but when i'm not, i usually put a set of elixirs on there. that way when i pick it up once every other week, i don't have to put strings on it before i play it!

they also help out these guitar shop owners who don't believe in tuning guitars, and replacing rusted strings on their for sale guitars! that's why taylor ships with the strings on them. because they can hang on a rack for 5 or 6 months, and still sound decent.
