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.

Feature:
they are very comfortable!!
Quality:
Awesome!
Value:
Unreal!
Desirability:
I own a Behringer mixer and love it. When I read about these headphones I had to have a pair. Just because I knew that they would sound great and I was not disappointed!
Sound:
Much better than my $100 Sony headphones! These things are a steal. Don’t let the low cost fool you.
Overall:
I’ll be satisfied with these headphones for years and plan on buying the dj set.

Feature:
I wish it was 1/8" adaptable to 1/4". It’s only 1/4".
Quality:
Very impressive construction! Looks are really nice, materials very sturdy.
Value:
GREAT VALUE! These are like, 40$ headphones by my reckoning.
Desirability:
Looks are very intimidating ;).
Sound:
I was pretty impressed with the sound, very true to the music. It didn’t blow me away, but why spend more if you aren’t picky?
Overall:
Great product, although the fit on my head was a little wierd, theres a gap between the ear pads and my under-ear.

Feature:
The earpieces have no swivel to them, in any dimension or direction, so if your ears happen to be in the right place when you spread these junkers open, great, but if not, you’re out of luck.
Quality:
OK quality, but a terrible product!
Value:
Poor value. $10 down the drain.
Desirability:
Not sexy. Not cool. Embarrassingly bad product. Don’t be seen with it.
Sound:
Sound was terrible. Period.

Feature:
The actual construction of the headphones was superb for the price and the closed ear were excellent.
Quality:
Durability and look are high, but the sound leave something to be desired. There are wierd rubber pads just beetween the R and L on each side.
Value:
About the only closed ear headphone for $10.
Desirability:
Kind of funky looking ear cover but overall a sleek looking product for the price.
Sound:
The sound of this product is not stellar or is it run of the mill. The description of multipurpose is modest, in that the sound is almost tinny, But i guess for the price they are adequate. But i also own Philips HS500 Behind the Head Sport Lightweight Headphone and they put out a much better quality sound and they were only ten dollars too. So don’t buy these headphones for the sound.
Support:
Don’t know hope i dont have too.
Overall:
I was kind of disatisfied by this product because of the sound but if you want a closed ear headphone for cheap get these.

Feature:
these are are alot bigger in person,they fit comfortably but there kinda cheap,goofy,amateurish looking
Quality:
the price is rite for light jamming and recording when my folks dont want to hear
Value:
!!!!
Sound:
the sound i get out of these is equal to/ better then the sound i get out of my behringer monitors, sounds clear enough, not to trebly or bassy.
Ease of Use:
perfecto
Support:
dunno
Overall:
bang for your buck, wooptydoo!

Feature:
As mentioned, they don’t really swivel around any. While that probably means they are more durable then swivels. (Most of the swivels I’ve had have broken in the swivel part.) They can be a bit uncomfortable. But they fit right over the entire ear which is nice. Has the cord connected only on the left side of the headphones. That’s something I always liked in headphones. They are usually easier to work with that way.
Quality:
Seem to be well made. Mostly made of plastic it seems but definitely not as cheaply made as some headphones I’ve seen.
Value:
They are worth what you pay for them.. I wouldn’t buy them if they where much more expensive though.
Desirability:
They look quite nice. They are silver and black. But I buy headphones for how they sound and feel not so much how they look. (I can’t see them if they are on my head anyways.)
Sound:
Seems just a tad bit lacking in the bass department. But they sound better then many of the headphones I’ve bought at Wal-Mart etc.
Support:
I’ve never had to deal with the company,
Overall:
Compared to a pair I tried on in a store once these are horribly uncomfortable. But they are more comfortable then most I’ve tried. I would probably buy Sony headphones if I could find them to replace these.

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.

Quality:
It’s Behringer....Like I said, I just needed something CHEAP!!!!! They don’t really fit very snug, but then again...only $10...what do you expect?
Value:
I think they’re worth $10....I don’t mix with them, but I wouldn’t mix with headphones anyway.
Desirability:
They look alright I guess
Sound:
Sound quality isn’t good, but I was just looking for something cheap that I can throw on so I won’t totally disturb my family.
Overall:
Sound is not great...but I use them to CHECK my mixes (lowest common denominator). They don’t fit good either...SO WHAT!!!! They’re 10 Bucks!!!!

Feature:
Extra pair of slipers would make it 10!
Quality:
Right for price
Value:
Only if I did not ship UPS... different story...
Desirability:
got 4 pairs...
Sound:
Nice flat; not overbassed sound
Ease of Use:
Pluig it in!!
Support:
N/A
Overall:
$$ + quality + sound = 10

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.

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:
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:
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:
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.
