Superlux HD-651 Black 3-stars Reviews

Mediocre

Head cushions detach easily.

Amazing for the price

I bought these because our church was moving out into a school hall because of lack of space at our hall, while a new building is built.I needed some headphones but had run out of budget, I thought for £10 they were worth a try. Used with our Behringer desk they are fine for checking levels and EQing etc.

They are not very comfy and the sound quality is ok, but for the price - brilliant!

Because we set up and tear down every Sunday morning and the job is done by a group of volunteers, they get dropped and squashed etc but have dealt very well and still look and work like new. We are very pleased with them.

Quite uncomfortable

Sound is good, no noise from external world, but not possible to have them on more than half an hour, as headphones are very tight and are pressing ears painfully. I guess it should be okay for people with small heads :)

Just okay...

I had no expectations from these headphones as I basically received them for free from a bundle.

After a short test it was quite clear that they wouldn't have much use in professional application as the sound quality was quite low, unnatural, especially with the harshness in upper mids and the bass slightly over the top.

The isolation and comfort is quite decent though, I used them a couple of times for additional monitoring during bigger voice recording sessions and no one really complained about them.

I would say they are good for a casual, not demanding music listening and a really cheap additional monitoring solution, but I wouldn't expect them to do any better.
