Superlux HD-681 B Reviews

It does the job

I?m impressed with the sound quality for such a cheap headset, I needed a headset in a pickle and I can hear bass just fine on them. They do feel pretty cheap but don?t look it, over all a fine headset.

Bought second pair.

...previous ones I own developed jack/cable issue and are disconecting one channel - but for the price after many years of use I do not complain and still are able to give them five stars.

Good value for the sound quality but uncomfortable.

Very open clear balanced sound even when compared to Sennheiser HD600 but with a much lower impedance suitable for portable devices. The circular pads are not comfortable. My ears are of average size for a male. They exceed the internal diameter of the pads by a centimetre so my earlobes get squashed. Yet the drivers are so big they are very inconvenient to wear around the neck when not in use.

nice

They are light, comfortable and easily fit on any head in our family.

The sound is good - I feel that there might be slight loss of detail in mid range, However, one's ear adjusts to that quickly and I don't think it's something to complain about.

Your ears will physically get a bit warm wearing these and if you have long hair it may get caught in them sometimes.

Affordable studio headphones

These were purchased to be used as monitoring whilst recording drums, specifically for the drummer.

No frills with these headphones, but zero complaints from said drummer. They could hear exactly what was required and their takes were not impacted.

I will buy more!

Superb headphones!

I had 4-5 models, for casual listening these are perfect. I like better the Flat version, I bought these for parts (because they were cheaper). ;)

Great quality for the price. Make sure to get more comfy pads for them.

great dynamics at a great price

Well made and great sound.

For the price better then a expect in sound terms but the plastics well no miracles in this range of price, and on that price i think is the best i could ever get

Really good headphones considering the price

For monitoring the instruments, as well as casual, non-audiophile listening to music, they're impeccable. I own HD-681 for many years and recently bought this more bassy version for my girlfriend. TBH, we prefer to listen to music on them, than on hi-end AKG reference headpohones.

Better than they cost

Good quality headphones. Sound better than the price would suggest.

Nothing negative to say about them.

Highly recommended.

Very happy

Only had these a couple of weeks, but so far, I'm very happy with them, comfortable, with a good sound. My AKG 'phones are probably better, but they are also more than twice the price of these. If you're looking for a pair of everyday headphones, to wear out and about, or while working, these could be them.

Great headphones

I bought these primarily to use with my line 6 firehawk fx modeler. All I can say is I'm amazed how good they are for the price. The sound quality to me is excellent. The build quality is pretty good as well. They are also extremely comfortable. I've only had them for a day now so only time will tell how they hold up over time but I'm very please with the purchase.

good sound

Once you get your metal shears out to get through the packaging, these headphones will not disappoint at this price.

I use them for my mp3 player out and about, bus journeys etc, great sound and comfortable up to and beyond a couple of hours.

Over ear design totally covers your ear, but over time seem a little "close" for comfort.

They are somewhat large to have resting around your neck aswel, but they do come with a drawstring bag.

Great value for money

Bought these to replace my Grado S80e as they were a bit too bass-light for my needs. Wanted something balanced for monitoring. These do the job nicely and are super cheap so I can't fault them for that. I will upgrade them for something more expensive at some point but will probably hold onto them as a back-up pair.

K 240 clone. Lower grade materials, lower wearing comfort, definitely not a studio reference sound...

However...at this price point you can afford to buy 10 pairs for monitoring purposes. They whitstand everyday studio abuse surprisingly well. All in all excellent price/performance ratio.

Very good!

Only boost high fq

Excellent headphones, total surprise

If you want excellent headphones for decent price, this are headphones for you. I owning a professional studio, have few AKG K series headphones (K 44, K 55, K 88, K 99). These are totally in range of those, if not better. It was surprise how good headphones 681 are for this money. Why are they get 4 stars for sound? The only reason is a bit "consumer-loudness" sound rather than Hi Fi, but for tracking there 's no better than 681s for this money. Highly reccommended.

Good enough for digital piano

It's very light and comfortable, very suitable for practicing with digital pianos, the sound is definitely good enough.

Bargain Bucket

For the price that you pay you can't ask for more, it delivers a very good bass while still keeping the mid's balanced, for 20EUR you won't find better headphones.

I'm using this with my Boss Katana 100 and even on my PC, best quality/price headphones I ever bought.

I totally recommend it!
