HD-681 : Great general purpose mixing cans

11 years ago

They look and feel a bit cheap, and the headband is cracking, but I would buy these again. I purchased a competitor headphone that is 10 times the price and I gave them away in favor of the superlux hd681. I have reasonable sonic access to the frequencies I find to be most useful for translation reasons, and I haven't needed to second guess myself due to having headphones that sound 'too good.' Although the high frequencies are said to be harsh, I just don't care because I personally feel confident enough that my mixing is happening the way I intend. Although I do not need more sets of these headphones, I swear to you that I have to resist the urge to buy more of these just because they are so cheap. But I should since I doubt they will outlast the pyramids. I do drop these on the floor every day almost, for let's say a year, and there is no problem yet.
