HD 381 : OK for the price

These Superlux earphones are nothing special but they do represent a good value for money. I bought them because they were cheap and on paper they have good specs (sensitivity and frequency response). In practice I found they have a good, clear sound that seems to lack some bass compared to other similarly priced earphones. From a functional point of view, the earpieces are comfortable and you get three different silicon tips to get the best fit. The actual length of the cable is very short (somewhere around 2ft which is silly), but an extension cable is included, so this offers more versatility. Sound-wise I would rate them at 3/5 but they get another point for the price. All in all a decent pair of earphones if you are on a strict budget, but you can definitely get something better if you spend another £10 or so.
