Useful option.
I got these to work up some new material without wearing my fingertips out too fast...normally use standard Martin 10's.
They really do feel "softer'(even more so than the Fender pure nickle '9's I use on electric)and have clearly been very well designed giving decent sound for such an ultra light acoustic gauge so great for long practice times.
They do take a bit of getting used to as they can bend out of tune easily if fretted any way hard.
The only serious con is that my two acoustics which normally sound very distinctive (an early '70's J45 and an 80's D25) lose some of their character and take on some of the generic,balanced but bland sound I associate with newer guitars from Taylor etc.
I don't think I'd use them long term but a very useful tool when needed.

Bought this set of strings for my Harley Benton acoustic. I have been an Elixir user for a long time and I thought I'd give this a try since It is for my cheap acoustic. The original strings from the guitar sound thin but when I placed these strings on the guitar it absolutely changes its tone.
Every chord is singing and single notes are defined.
Since strings are meant to break I don't expect this to last a lifetime but I'm happy with the tone I get from these strings.

Good choice
Daddario 0.09 strings for acoustic guitar are very nice to play and have excellent sound. Only thing that have some room for improvement is durability. On the other hand it just may be my style of playing that influence durability.

They sound bright and clear
I got these for my son's guitar after recommendation from an acquaintance. They sound bright and clear. Enjoy the strumming!

Nice light, bright acoustic strings
Sets of 9s for an acoustic aren't the most common - most of the time, the choice is these or Rotosound JK9. Of the two, I prefer the Rotosound strings, but that's not to say these are bad, just that I prefer the sound of the phosphor bronze JK9s to the very bright (and somewhat thin) bronze sound of these D'Addario strings.
However, if light, bright, bronze strings are what you're after (they're great for going easy on the fingers of a beginner acoustic player), then these budget strings should do the trick.

bright strings
those string does sound very good, are rather on the bright side, and due its lightness they work great for uptuning your guitar from E to F and F#, if you need that tuning regulary for your songs and dont want to mess around with a capo, thats for what i use em
