Feature:
The swivel feature is a plus if you use it. Personally I feel its just a pair of headphones. What are good features? Headband, cord, plug? What you get from any pair of headphones you get here. Cord length is a plus, Im able to sit back on my bed and watch movies on my computer (cord is about 8 feet long).
Quality:
The cord and plug are very solid well made pieces. Headphones are solid and arent as "cheap feeling" as Ive seen people say in other reviews. But on that note, I feel as though some solid metal parts could replace some plastic parts that would give them a much more solid feel. But overall, its what I would expect from just a pair of headphones, after all I didnt pay $400 for them!
Value:
Ive tried other headphones in the same price range (Sony, Panasonic) and they just simply do not have the clarity of these Audio-Technicas. Period. If you are looking in the sub $100 price range, you cannot go wrong. Whether youre using them for gaming, music, movies, it does any sound you throw at them justice.
Desirability:
Like I said above, no matter what you plan on using them for you cant go wrong on the sound quality. Construction could be alittle bit more solid, but mine so far have been dropped multiple times as well as gone cross country with me on many a trip and even though a few scratches here and there they still work just as well as they did the first day I got them.
Sound:
Sound is perfect. You hear me? Perfect. By far the most realistic sound producers Ive ever heard. Every little high pitched note to the low frequency bass, everything that the sound producers added you hear.
Ease of Use:
Again, its a pair of headphones, you plug them into your source and your done.
Support:
Its very good. Had some static in one side (turned out to be an issue with my sound card in my PC) and their support was extremely fast emailing me back with very good recommendations on what I do. Definitely good service!
Overall:
The best pair of phones for the price. Period. Even some more expensive sets from other companies simply dont compair. If mine ever broke (which I dont see happening) I would not hesitate for one second about buying another pair...well I take that back, I might get a higher end pair of Audio-Technicas next time ;-)

Feature:
I like the swivel ears and the one-sided cable. Very ergonomic--you can wear them for hours with minimal discomfort.
Quality:
So far so good. The construction seems solid and the components all seem to be good.
Value:
Great cans for the price!
Sound:
Pretty decent. Bass response is pretty high, so be careful if you're mixing with them. Otherwise, they're very transparent.
Ease of Use:
Ummm, they're headphones. Not much to discuss.
Support:
Haven't contacted support. Haven't had a need to
Overall:
the only real drawback is the bass response being hot, but as long as you're aware of it, these are geat headphones.
