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.

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.

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!

Great headphones for low price

Great headphones. Sound they produce is very good. Ear gets a bit hot after 30 minutes of use. I won't recommend them to be used on a road beacuse they don't seem to be that rigid. But for home use are fine.

Nice headphones for the price

These headpohones are an ideal alternative for home studio headphones. The sound quality is not excellent, but it is very good, especially considering the cost of these headphones.

Ideal for small home studios!

Flawless.

Perfect. Very comfortable, great sound quality and well built.

I use these for guitar practice into the headphone output of a multi FX unit, or into a PC for music & gaming. Works great for both uses.

Super Headphones

I bought this headphones to use in stage with a roland TD-30. My drummer was very happy with the comfort and sound quality. He tried different headphones but said he preferred the Superlux HD sound and comfort over the others.

I never told him how cheap was the superlux, compared to the others headphones, so this was kind a blind test for him.

For the price, you just cant go wrong!

BUY THESE HEADPHONES!

I cannot recommend these headphones highly enough. The sound quality is mind blowing. I use these to play drum synths with, and also to practice with another guy as we play together with instruments going into an interface and they work a charm.

Recently enough I bought a pair of crummy iPhone jogging headphones that broke in one day. The price? 25 euro... 5 euro more expensive than these badboys!

As a drummer I can wear these while playing and jam along to mp3 files, great sound reduction.

No cons that I can think of, I have used studio monitors worth 300-400 euros and honestly if there is any difference in quality it is negligible. These are top quality headphones, I could not recommend them any higher!

Good product for the money

I bought these headphones for home studio use and for there money they are great value.

The built quality is decent enough as I have dropped / stretched / pulled them many times and still have had no issues.

My only complaint is that sometimes after long sessions of wearing them my ears can get quite hot under the pads and that can be a little bit uncomfortable but at this price that is something I can put up with.

good value for money overall.

Great sound, confortable to wear

The bass response is good, i use them for my home studio.

The interesting thing is that I can hear very good what happends around me when the sound is off with the headphones on.The quality of the soound is very good and I am happy with my purchase.I hope they will last long.

Superlux HD-681 B - GREAT

First off, these are durable! I have already AKG K141MkII, and compare this two i must to say Superlux HD-681 B hold on its own very well especially when thy cost a lot cheaper. I used these to check my work from professional monitors and I'm surprised when I check with these because they're so flat. For the price, there is no better product! For a headphone to sound this good for such a low price is nothing more than a bargain. The clarity of music and separation of instruments is something i was greatly pleased with, especially when listening to soft rock, ballads or similar music. Naw on comfort - the elastic headband makes easy to find the correct position. The standard ear pads are very big and don't apply any unpleasant pressure to my ears. Thy OK for wearing on head for a couple of hour or so...maby even more - i just don't use headphones more than that..feu hours then pause..

Overall they do sound really great, by it..thin nobody will regret!

For this price, TOP!

Nothing to complain. You get good headphones for a little price. No competition in MHO. Either you would get worse quality or higher price. This ones are just the best you can get at the price segment. Same price will just buy a set of headphones for an mp3 in Carefour :-)

The perfect 1st set of studio headphones

I've used these for the past two years for everything from budget mixing, recording monitoring and everyday listening.

Pros: Amazingly clear balanced sound. Comfortable for long sessions etc. Long Cable. Surprisingly sturdy. No issues after 2 years of use. PRICE !!!

Cons: Semi open back, Sound leakage + background noise is very annoying as it makes them almost unusable on the go. Closed back option would be amazing.

For the price these are amazing. You will not find anything as good in the price range. Awesome 1st pair of studio headphones for anyone starting off.
