Better than expected

On moment when put on, I understand that this was good choice. On moment I started to play song, I understand this was perfect choice for music production! And shipment was fast.

Decent, but 681 sounds better

Bought these for monitoring in a studio.

The isolation is decent and it doesn't need that much power compared to a Beyerd. 770.

The sound is noticably worse compared to their 681(K240 copy), but, as long as you use these for budget monitoring, they get the job done.

Cable is also quite bad, as with most Superlux products.

They broke after 2 weeks of usage

The right, stopped working after 2 weeks of usage, I know how to use headphones and how to take care of them, these I do not recommend.

Mediocre... as expected

Bought it as a second pair for reference use. Very happy with them, though. Of course I wouldn't use them for professional purposes

Very affordable and decent-sounding, reliability is an issue

At this price point, you're unlikely to find better headphones for recording purposes. Sound quality is pretty good, although for regular music listening situations, I'd personally dish out at least twice as much money. However, for recording live instruments, the sound is more than clear and balanced enough, and the sound isolation is probably enough for most people. Loud drums might still come through a lot, but if you play drums super loud, you're probably not too worried about having to push the headphones loud as well.

Reliability is a bit of an issue, which should be not suprising to anyone considering the price. With careful home use, these might last better, but in a more active enviroment, plugging the headphones in and out of headphone amps etc, you'll be looking at maybe 1-2 years of use out of a pair, which is still not that terrible. But with the more expensive industry standards, you're probably looking somewhere between 10-15 years of active use and even longer with proper care.

On a budget, these are possibly your best option. They won't last a lifetime, but will get you started.

10 years and still smooth

Overall a pretty good headphone for it's price.

Mainly i use it for playing the piano, behind the laptop for listening music without disturbing people around me too much.

The sound quality is very good, i'm using this headphone for about 10 years by now. Although the headphone band (with the Superlux logo) broke off and its headphone cushions show some cracks, it is still usable. It wraps around my ears pretty firm.

What i said before about 'without disturbing people around me too much', i meant that people around me still can hear my music.

So overall a good product with very good sound quality!

Comfort wise it's on the tight side which is okay to hold the headphone together after breaking off the band. The quality itself material wise for 10 years usage is also not too bad, so also okay for me.

pros :

Price/ sound quality

Very good sound quality

Tight, covers the ear well

Still in use for 10 years by now

cons:

Tight, caused me headache (because of my head size i guess)

Material: band broke off and shows cracks in cushions (after 10 years of usage)

People around can also 'enjoy' your music

Great Headphones

Great headphones! Really happy with them. Was unsure about the headrest but it is really comfortable! Just can become uncomfortable after wearing for a really long time, like any headphones to be honest.

Great budget headphones

I am very pleased with these headphones. Sound is great and even, perfect for recording at home, or even a professional studio. As far as quality goes, I haven't noticed any flaws and I doubt that I'll ever find any. As long as you take care of them they won't break so easily. One thing that I would count as a negative is that after wearing them for a while they become mildly uncomfortable. But that may be a personal issue

good during band practice

Perfect for monitoring while playing live with my band, I needed a cheap closed ear solution and I found it, sound quality is better than i expected and shuts out all the outside sounds when practicing at a high volume with a full band, wish the cable was longer but thats just a personal preference I believe its the same length as most headphone cables, can always get an extension. headphones stay on tight which is perfect and they are built solid, would not be afraid if they fell to the floor a few times.
