What I've been waiting for so long
In this box, each string is in individual paper packaging. In total in the overall packing of 18 strings, without grouping of 6 strings. 3 strings in a winding (and accordingly with a covering), 3 strings without a winding.
The first sensations when playing them - is this exactly Elixir? This is a step forward! Strings are felt like metal, there is only a slight feeling that they are stroked. But maybe it's just because you know it's an Elixir :)
They are adjusted quickly, the tuning is kept perfectly. They sound bright, I did not hear the difference with Daddario EXL, I did not listen in detail, pulled Elixirs on Gibson SGJ 2014 and was satisfied.
How long will these strings last, so far I can not say, yet it's still a novelty. If 1 package of 3 sets is enough for a year, with a constant sound quality, then I will switch to them.

For years i used 0.11 gauge..Elixirs and Thomastiks were my favorites...
A few weeks ago i bought the Harley Benton TE-52 guitar. It came with 0.09 gauge....and..i kinda liked that..bending the strings was easy and the sound was ok....some time later however, after a lot of playing, i did find them a thatch too thin...so i ordered these Optiweb 0.10's from Elixir...they are PERFECT!.....Wow!...i'm gonna put them on all mij e-guitars...feels fantastic and sound excellent! love'm...and the 3P deal makes them even more attractive price-wise...

My favourite string set in one box
I am using Elixir strings for many years and since I have many guitars it's a one way road so I don't have to change strings often. I prefer optiweb since they give me the closest feel to uncoated strings. They feel natural at hand and the sound is on the bright side of spectrum but not as bright as the uncoated. With an initial stretch, they settle relatively fast after restringing. I have a light touch so I have never seen my strings fray. For guitars with higher output pickups I put nanowebs. I suggest this set if you like coated strings with normal feel!

The best strings times three
Elixir Optiwebs, what else do I need to say? They last loooooong, and the feeling under the fingers are like regular strings unlike Nanowebs that are slippery, perfect combination!

Elixir are the GOAT
We all like different string for different sounds, this will always be true, but any elixir i tried, independent of gauge, will sounds perfect.
All this being said, these are no exceptions. The are crispy and sparkly, they give me the full range of tones i look in strings, and, the cherry on top of the cake, the sparkle LASTS FOR AGES.
10/10

Uncoated strings sound marginally better very briefly
I've been using these strings for years. They are durable and sound good for months. Of course, uncoated strings sound better when you first put them on the guitar, but once you've played them for a couple of hours they'll start losing that super high end sparkle that the Optiweb coating mutes ever so slightly. If you don't need a super bright sound, then there's no need to bother with uncoated strings. If I could afford to buy new strings every day or two, I might switch to uncoated strings, but while I still have a normal amount of disposable income, I will stick with the Elixirs. In fact, I quite like the smooth feel of the coating and while uncoated strings might briefly sound marginally better, I find playability important too, so perhaps even limitless wealth wouldn't motivate me to switch. A wider range of string gauges would be nice though.
