Feature:
The headphones came with a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter for hooking the cans up to both a mixing board and consumer electronics. My head is somewhat long (or tall), so the adjustable headband does really help that much, as I keep it fully extended.

Quality:
95% of the set is plastic, although it doesn't feel cheap asto fall apart. Just don't toss them in a bag with other heavy items, and they'll probably last a while.

Value:
Might as well spend a bit more cash and get something more comfortable.

Desirability:
These headphones are resonably uncomfortable, but are good enough for simple use.

Sound:
They offer resonably good sound quality, although I don't find the bass to be so clear, and highs don't have a big presence.

Ease of Use:
Easy enough to put on and slip off. Eye glass wearers should not that the pads compress the temples of the frames, which quickly gets uncomfortable. In general, the top and bottom of the ear pads will kind of stick in to the wearer's head, which also becomes uncomfortable rapidly.

Support:
Never needed it.

Feature:
They work, that's good enough for me. And the price makes it excellent. No real features, but I don't need anything special for monitoring while I'm singing.

Quality:
Still got them after 1 year, so no problem. I use while dubbing vocals and my clients like them too.

Value:
For $10.....say no more. For $17 (latest price) still worth it.

Desirability:
Sex appeal?.......Do you also vote for the candidate with the brightest teeth? Sorry, a dumb question for a Capricorn, or anyone else actually. It's practical and works well for my applications.

Sound:
It's a full sound. Some say too bassy, some say not enough, sounds fine to me but my ears are reference recording ears. It's better than many I've tried for much higher price, although the definition isn't comparable to a Sony MDR $200 pair. For the price they're great.

Ease of Use:
Put 'em on use 'em. 'Nuff said.

Support:
No experience.

Overall:
I would buy another 1 or 2 and probably will.

Feature:
1/4 plug is kool.

Quality:
plastic. had to give this a 3. THese things worked fine for like a year until I went downstairs while listening to my MP3 player with them and the cord got a little cought on the door knob on the way to the basement. One little snugg of the cord cause the left side to go completely out. I could not believe it. So I could just image if I had a traffic heavy studio with crazy artist using my headphones. They definately would not have lasted. Mine only lasted a year because I only used them every blue moon to track dubbs on some vox.

Value:
good price. I paid 9.99 for mine.

Desirability:
dont want it any more. would not by another pair because that small pull caused them not to work anymore.

Sound:
Sound is kool if you are not trying to mix with them. not as accurate. kinda of bassy. play a song you like through monitors and then listen with these...watch how many instruments and highs disappear.

Support:
no need

Overall:
Have to give it a 5 overall. if they worked, i'd give them a 6 sonically.

Feature:
Pros - 1/8" plug and 1/4" adapter, decent length on the chord Cons - The cans don't pivot and it is a bit snug on my melon.

Quality:
Quality is good for headphones, phenomenal for ten bucks.

Value:
Ten clams! Kick a$$ product for the moolah.

Desirability:
Of course, I'd prefer a top-shelf set of phones, but again . . . ten bucks!!!!

Sound:
They sound pretty good to me. Easily the best sounding $10 headphones anywhere.

Ease of Use:
Plug it in and put it on. It doesn't get much easier.

Support:
Haven't needed it. For ten bucks, I'll buy another pair rather than go through warranty processes.

Overall:
I'll probably buy a couple spares because the value is great.

Feature:
Only comes with a 1/4 inch plug. Kind of a pain you'll have to buy a 1/4 to .35mm converter to use with the most common .35mm plug.

Quality:
For $10 they are actually pretty well built.

Value:
Great pair for the money.

Desirability:
Some people say they look like a toy, I think the sliver looks sharp.

Sound:
Pretty comparable to other pairs around $30 and under. If you need a cheap reference pair, these are nice and cheap.

Ease of Use:
Headphones, how hard can they be?

Support:
Have not had to deal with them.

Overall:
Great pair of headphones if your looking in the $40 or under range. Doesn't compare to my $100 Sony MVR set, but these are a steal for $10.

Feature:
Absolutely THE WORST adjusting to my head. They are very uncomfortable and there is nothing to do about the discomfort. People have written that you need an average size head and they are wrong, you need a head shaped like a square for these things to fit right. ALSO the set didnt come with a 1/4 inch adapter! Annoying!

Quality:
The adjusting pieces DO NOT WORK on ANY of the 4 sets I ordered.

Value:
when i ordered them i thought it was amaizng that a headset like this was for sale for 10 dollars, but then after getting them i understood why they were so cheap. Still good for the price tho, not great.

Desirability:
They look amateur.

Sound:
I use these so that the people I'm recording can hear themselves, so sound quality did not matter too much to me. Which is ok, because these are not amazing sound quality. They're better than any 10 dollar headphones I've heard.

Ease of Use:
plug in

Support:
Duno

Overall:
I'm just starting up a small studio to record a couple local bands for cheap so it was nice to get headphones for so cheap so i could spend more money on mics. I bought these knowing that they didnt matter too much so it was nice. DO NOT buy them for casual listening because they are not comfortable enough. I'm wearing them right now and my head kinda hurts.

Feature:
Very limited adjustment. Make sure your head is AVERAGE sized.

Quality:
Cheap plastic.

Value:
$10 is what you get, that's fair.

Desirability:
They look pretty nice from a distance.

Sound:
I read all the reviews here, and was expecting to be surprised by the value of these headphones. They're supposed to sound as good as $50 headphones and by some reviews even as good as the $200. THEY SOUND LIKE $10 HEADPHONES.

Overall:
Don't get these as studio monitor headphones, they'll disappoint you. And if you're looking for iPod phones, go for something with better BASS.

Sound:
These headphones are great for a tight budget but you get what you pay. the quality is muffled but you get used to it. I would suggest something a little better even if your on a tight budget. They kind of hurt my head too. nice long cable though. Good value but not good headphones

Feature:
Of course the $10 price doesn't allow them to include much. It does have a padded headband and single side cord, but that's about the end of the features. Notably, the ear cups do not swivel at all and did not fit my head very well.

Quality:
For the price, they seem fairly well made. But then if they don't sound good, who cares?

Value:
They're cheap, but they're uncomfortable and don't sound very good. That's not a good value at any price.

Desirability:
I don't want them. Does anybody want to buy mine?

Sound:
These headphones sound colored to me. Something about the midrange doesn't sound natural. I gave them some time to break in, but they didn't improve. I'm not impressed. I'm comparing it to headphones by sennheiser, audio technica, and bose, all of which are much more expensive.

Overall:
I don't recommend them. They are uncomfortable because the ear cups don't swivel, and the something seems off about the midrange.

Feature:
The headphone adjustment/fit could be better. It's kinda like your head fits in them or it doesn't.

Quality:
Feel adequate for $10. Maybe a little too much plastic and not enough strength, but the parts used seem to be of decent quality.

Value:
For $10 studio headphones and home recording purposes, you can't beat this. For recording purposes, they actually sound better than some of my other $50 - $200 AKG and Sony headphones.

Desirability:
Could swivel and fit better, but, again, for $10, they're great.

Sound:
As a flat reference for recording, these totally do the job. I'm amazed with how good a $10 pair of headphones Behringer made. For $10 studio headphones and home recording purposes, you can't beat this. For recording purposes, they actually sound better than some of my other $50 - $200 AKG and Sony headphones.

Support:
Never dealt with 'em.
