Extremely cheap, but I'm weary,
My K550s started to disintegrate after one and a half years. The pleather has peeled away on the earpads and an inside bracing developed a crack and fell out (within two months of showing signs). They live next to my Computer and don't get listened to extensively. My old HD650s and K701s lasted longer with significantly less signs of wear and tear.
I'm also rather apprehensive about dealing the AKG/Harmon Kardon as I was told replacement earpads are $60 plus postage and they'd have them to order within five weeks, and it took a three weeks to get a response from the right department.
I'll + the deal based on the price as I enjoy the quality of the headphones but feel compelled to share my experiences post-sale.
