Having used DAddario XT and Elixir Optiwebs I now have something to compare these with. I own 11 guitars so I go through lots of strings. The sound is quite bright but extremely uneven across the strings. The D string is very dull and the sound in general is a bit dull (poor mids). After only 4 days they started changing color from silver to a reddish/pinky shade. Overall the sound just isn't there so that's a deal breaker for me. Just for information, the sound on Elixirs is dull too but the playability and feel is great.
So far DAddarios XT are by far the best sounding coated strings and durability is great too, they're on my guitar for almost a year now and still look and sound as good as new
