AKG K55 Headphones Reviews
10 out of 10
"Excellent buy for Excellent sound!"
Feature:
No features needed.
Quality:
Seems to be constructed well. They're simple, look good and have a great design for fitting anysize head automatically.
Value:
Best value in what you get. My next favourite pair (Denon AHD-550) are a lot more.
Desirability:
They look good hanging beside the stereo.
Sound:
I use them purely for listening to music. They do justice to everyone from Michael W Smith's "Freedom" to Kurt Bestor's "Innovators" to Secret Garden to "Best Blue Note Album in the World". I've tried about a dozen different headphones ranging up to $150 Sennheiser's. These have the best all around frequency range that you can actually hear coupled with being distinct enough to hear stage noise of breathing flutes etc. - and for the price it's nearly unbelievable.
Support:
Haven't needed support.
Overall:
I expect to get 10 years of normal use out of these...or more. If they got crushed by my Unimog today I'd replace them with the same ones, no question.

"Very comforatble, average+ sound."
Feature:
One pair of cans, one long cable, one 1/4inch adapter. done.
Quality:
I've dropped these things, run them over with a chair, dragged them across the floor, and they *still* work just fine. That means a lot for a $30 pair of cans.
Value:
I really like them. A lot. Don't have high expectations for what you get for $30, and enjoy them instead.
Desirability:
Like I said, these are very comfortable to wear. Apart from that, well, you're not going to win any beauty awards for wearing them.
Sound:
Okay, these don't sound particularly amazing. BUT,,, they are a very listenable and pleasant sound, and for $29 I'm not bothered about acuracy.
Support:
Never had to call them, but they have a nice website.
Overall:
I'd buy another pair when these one's break.
