"Save your money"

Feature:
None. It's all one piece, and the headband is too easy to stretch out and get it stuck.

Quality:
Junk. I was impressed at first.. cheap headphones with a decent sound. But after a couple months the sound no longer comes out of the right ear. The headband fits my head decently, and it isn't too uncomfortable. But it doesn't even fit bigger heads. The ear pads get uncomfortable very quickly.

Value:
If you need cheap headphones NOW, then yeah, go ahead and buy these. But you'll want to upgrade in a few weeks, or a month. Only buy these if you need a cheap, temporary solution.

Desirability:
No, not at all. I would only consider getting these again if I was in a bind and needed to buy a few pairs very fast, very cheap, and only to use for a day or two.

Sound:
They don't sound very good. But for $30 they sound alright.

Ease of Use:
Plug it in, and it works. Until a couple months later.. now sound only comes out of one ear.

Support:
I haven't contacted them. I'm not really sure I even want another pair, but I may call them tomorrow.

Overall:
Pretty junky. Save your $30, and invest in a better pair. Because you'll want a better pair after having these for a couple days.

"An average headphone, with mediocre sound quality."

Feature:
It feels relatively comfortable. The design is similar to other AKG headphones (self-adjusting head band, one-sided cord, etc).

Quality:
Average quality made in Chian. I don't like the fact the ear pads are permanently glued to the headphone (but it's not like I would want to get replacement pads anyway!)

Desirability:
I don't want it!! Actually at the first sign of intermediate connection problem at the jack (the scratch noise, off and on connection), I threw it away, even though the rest of the phones were fine. I have no regrets. Normally, I would just replace the phone jack with a new one. So I don't want it that much.

Sound:
In short, the K-55 sounds pretty bad. I have a AKG K240M and have been very satisfied with it, so I thought I
