Surprising!

Im positively surprised by Superlux products and how criminally underrated they are! These are a great pair of headphones. The low end separation and response on these is fine as hell. Compared to AKGs, Sennheisers and Audio Technica headphones in the $300 range even dont even come close. These headphones are a producers dirty little secret. I hope they dont get discovered.... but they definitely deserve some recognition.

This is my second purchase. Just because I wanted two, in case something happens to 1. Which did. Which is why I just wanna raise one issue. The top rubber on the previous ones broke on the side and went loose. So they werent so tight anymore. I had to repair that.

Other than that all good. Highly recommended!

Great headphones for a great price

I had these headphones for many years and recently ordered two new pairs because of how good they are.

Best bang for the buck

For this price, they easily beat AKG costing more than the double. These EVO are just great, only issue with connector. It breaks easily. My suggestion : consider them as consumables, and buy again when they break up.

Using them for mastering, very well balanced sound, realistic frequency response, and absolutely comfortable.

Amazing Headphones!

Genuinely blown away by these headphones, used them with the iConnect while playing guitar and cant believe how good they are. Now using them for work and listening to music. For the money, comfort and ease of use!

Great sound quality

I bought this to use in my home studio and i must tell you that this headset has really good quality. The only thing that I can mention is that it doesn't feel too comfortable compared to other headsets i have owned. Then again for the price it is superb.

You can't go wrong for the price.

This is a really well-rounded kit. Additional velcro and cables - all nice touches. The sound is clear, sound isolation is also fine considering it is only a semi-closed design.

You might struggle a bit if you have a big head like I do; in that case just replace the leather earpads with the included velour ones - they are quite more comfortable at least during the first 30 minutes.

All in all the overall build quality is more than fine, considering the cost.

If there is one thing I would change, it's that 3.5mm jack that is hanging out from the left side and feels like it's going to be the first thing to break.

Great budget headphones

Use:

Home recording.

Pros:

Low price.

Velour earpads are very comfortable, and you can change them with false leather ear pads whenever you want.

Extra 3m long cable.

The cable is removable.

Cons:

Not sure yet. The material feels like I could break them easily.

Summary:

I think that that's the best choice for making demo recordings at home. You'll have a good sound and they will not feel uncomfortable. Best buy in this price range!

Well worth the price!

I needed a pair of headphones to take away from home, where I use a pair of Akg K240 MKII with satisfaction.

These Superlux for the price they cost sound all too well.

They have slightly more extended bass than the HD 668 and deliver a satisfying audio reproduction that caters well to instruments and vocals.

They have a relatively flat mid-range but tend to sound slightly sharp because of the bump in the high-mid/low-treble, especially with tracks that are already a little bright.

Unfortunately they don't block a lot of ambient noise, they're not portable and do not have the most durable build quality, but still they're good for my needs and carried and used with care and attention they can give many satisfactions.

Best price/quality possible

Probably the best under 100€ headphones on the market for me, hidden gem

Great

The closest you can get to the high end AKG semi-open headphones, at a fraction of the price.

Superlux HD 681 EVO BK

For the price I paid, it's excellent. It came with another cord and replacements earpads. I needed two days to get used to it, as it is large and a bit uncomfortable in the beginning. Hopefully, the plastic holds for a decade.

Good headphones, no regrets

Very pleasant sounding headphones.

More comfortable then my Pioneer SE-M531

My impression is that Pioneer SE-M531 have slightly better mids, Superlux HD-681 Evo BK have better bass...

Good compromise on quality / cost

Pros: - price

          - quality

          - accessories

          - the possibility of replacing the leather others in more durable

velvet.

Cons: - against the price ... none

Superlux Headphone

Received this headphone and did not have too much expectations but it is a very good buy. price and quality are great good sound and wearing comfort. I use it for home recording and mixing ( BR800 ) but I can be short about this: a very good deal in price&quality. Recommended!

Best value for money

If you looking for cheap and good headphones this is it!

Used in home studio alongside the AKG K550.

+ very good balanced sound. Outstanding in this price range.

+ 2 types of earpads

+ short and long cabel

- Cheap plastic construction. Anyway, this has no influence on sound and no issues appeared after 5 years of using

Great for the price!

I still cant believe that these headphones were so cheap. sound is really good.

I must admit though that they do hurt my ears at times... the fit is not so comfortable when using them for extended periods of time.

Massive Magic Sounds. Thank you.

These have served me for 4 years until a week ago when the connector for the cable has started to malfunction and only sends sound to one of the channels.

They've been comfortable, they have a lot of bass so depending on what kind of sound you want these can be really good.

For the price they are amazing!
