HD-681 : Good headphones for practice

5 years ago

I received them as a part of an e-drums bundle and used them for drums and guitar practice. For 20 €, it's way more than I could expect.

Pros:

These are my first circumaural headphones, and ears feel great wearing them. The sound is good compared to ordinary headphones from a department store, they also block external noises quite well. The sound is quite detailed for my inexperienced ear. It doesn't hurt to listen to drums or a guitar at a decent volume.

Cons:

After wearing them for two hours, I started feeling how they squeeze the head. An hour more, and it was outright painful to wear them. I had to stop my exercises because of that :)

But that was also the case with other (basic) headphones that I used to have before. These headphones are still way better than everything I had before for 20-30€.
