HD-681 Evo BK : Headphones for everyone and for everywhere !

9 years ago

After buying Superlux HD-662 Evo, I could not resist to buy one more pair, and I opted for the same category but a semi-opened one. I will try to compare those two model as best as I can.

First of all the HD-681 have less clamping force, and they are much more comfotable then the HD-662, and I can where them much longer before they start to get a bit uncomfortable. The build quality is almost the same, and the quality is more then is shold be for the given price. The packaging is the same, with just one difference, the velour pads on 681 are not that good like on the 662. They are a bit harder and stiffer, but still decent.

The things that I like the most about these are the detachable cable, whitch is the best implemanation on the market, period.

The sound signature is very similar to the 662 Evo, like I have expected, but a margin better on 681, and I even like them more, and use them more often. The bass is there, it's punchy but not so tight like one the 662. The mids and highs are warmer, and bit more clear then on the 662.

Overall from my perspective you won't make a mistake buying either par, but I recomend slightly more the 681 over the closed back HD-662 Evo.

The best headphones in this price group, with no doubt.
