Pros & Cons
Pros
Mainstream consistently outperform the elixyr brand equivalent. Some are light coated and some have silk. Doesn't get any better or more genuine than these.
Cons
Dead, lifeless. G string constantly breaks with the strings. Other martin high dollar strings coded ones same g string break a lot.
Highlights
Quality
I've been using martin strings for almost two years now and the tone quality is excellent and they have an acceptable life span.
I bought these for my hd28 martin and they sound great and play smoothly.
Give them a try you might find the only strings you'll ever use like i did.
I have a 2019 seagull s6 original and have tried many different elixir, d'addario and enie ball strings, coated and non-coated.
Price
You can't beat the price and these things do wonders for my flat picking speed!
I just put these on an inexpensive beginner guitar.
I have a guitar that i bought when i was young that was $150.
Competitiveness
Mainstream consistently outperform the elixyr brand equivalent.
These strings are definitely more than just martin slapping their name on something to capitalize and turn some cash from the brand.

Sure they have the silk wrap that helps prevent your strings digging into your bridge but for me its primarily the tone that brings me back time after time
