Superlux HD-681 B 5-stars Reviews

Brilliant set of headphones

I will have no problem recommending these whatsoever.

The sound is brilliant, at least to my ears. It's quite interesting experience to hear every single piece of a song and this headset definitely makes things easier.

I use them for recording and mixing plus I usually take them to work when I know I'll be bored. Pretty solid piece of equipment, For an year so far, there are only few small tears on the plastic band but that's probably due to the lack of serious care when transporting them to work. I basically throw them in the bag and go. However everything is fine so far. For that price, even if you break them as people said bellow me, just get another one and you wouldn't feel the loss.

The only negative I could think of is that they make my ears sweaty after a while but I can live with that.

In conclusion - just get one.

Great value for money

Using them for "silent" gigging at home, headphones out from the guitar mfx<->notebook.

Been using them for almost 3 years now, headphones still alive.

Pro's: very bright, quite flat sound. The ear pads are soft and make you feel comfortable even if wearing them for long (side-effect for the pads: in summer you feel really hot wearing them, but that's already collateral damage :D ). The phones come with a 1/4" jack adapter making their use universal.

Con's: Sometimes you could hear a buzz on low frequencies (bass guitar). Can only be heard in a certan range, somewhere between 50 and 75Hz. The buzz definitely comes from the headphones.

Conclusion: Amazing quality headphones, especially if you are on a budget.

Supersound

I bought 5 pairs of these for my band to use with a headphone amp. To be honest, I couldn't have asked for better value for money!, the quality is amazing and even though I was unemployed at the time, I could still afford to get them. Great quality and great value.

Quality on a budget

Very balanced frequency range with the exception of being slightly bright. Great for mixing, superb stereo image, coherent and budget friendly. I owned a pair of AKG 240's priced at ?89 and these sound every bit as good. Only notable difference is they're slightly less comfortable whereas the AKG's were so comfy you didn't know you were wearing them. I totally recommend these headphones though! What a bargain!

Totally does the job

Good set of headphones. What I like the most about it is its comfort and seems not expensive for its quality. The carrying bag that comes with it is a nice touch. Perfectly functional and does the job nicely. I use it all the time in my home studio and when I want to just listen to music or to play with only one instrument plugged in.

Good headphones set with a great sound quality

This headphones set presents gives you an excellent sound quality. I love specially the bass sound with presence and clean, and I can achieve this with this headset. It is perfect for a home studio, recording, mixing or for DJ's. I am very happy with the quality of the sound this set returns, because I am very picky with the quality of the sound and with these headphones I can feel all the sounds present in a song very clearly and clean.

Affordable, good sounding, durable headphones

I was looking for sturdy, good value, price/performance headphones for everyday use - gaming, movies, listening to music, playing digital piano and electric guitar.

And that is exactly what I got.

Durability is a quality which is very hard to judge from pictures and reviews normally don't focus on it.

Since I intended to use this pair as "bedphones" e.g. I sleep on them as I listen to music - durability is of paramount importance.

So far they have held very well for the 4 months I've had them which is quite impressive considering the abuse they are going through. The headband appears to be made of steel reinforced plastic which reduces the stress and doesn't appear to be a part which will break down anytime soon. The joints which hold the speakers are rotating, which evens out the pressure. A constant issue with "bedphones" are the pads which usually come off or break down from friction and pressure. The pads on these seem to be attached very firmly. And I don't see any cracks in plastic as of yet.

And they sound pretty good too without distorting the music - which is exactly what I wanted.

excellent deal

These are the best headphones I have ever heard under 300 - no exceptions. Sure they look dated and are not the most comfortable but the sound the reproduce is amazing. clean sparkling highs and tight focused bass (but still enough to shake the drivers). highly highly recommended, I might have to order another pair as backups!

For that low price a must have!

Hey,

i bought that headphones back in December 2013, and i have not a single regret about it.

I must admit I do not use them for anything like a studio/professional use. I prefer using them für gaming purposes, especially Battlefield 4 when I am playing with my mates on Mumble or something like that.

I use them with a Creative Sound Blaster Z which makes the headphones really sound good.

I compared them to the Superlux with the red ring, I liked the sound of the 681 B more, because it is more balanced in my opinion. The red ones seem to set the focus on the bass more.

If you prefer a more neutral headphone for a rally low price -> here you go.

The only negative point is that the comfort of the headphones is not the best, after several hours of gaming they do not get really uncomfortable, but you feel the pressure of them.

Home studio solution.

Superlux HD-681 B just do what they are designed to do. Good representation of the sound spectrum.

At first I thought they not exactly reproduce low frequencies, but then I listened to my mixes in many places, i found if it sounds good on these headphones, it's sound good anywhere. For this, they are simply awesome.

I have a big head and small ears. Funny, but true. So for me it's very important my headphones to make me feel comfortable with, and HD-681 just do it.

I've tested this phones with many interfaces and they work well on all of them.

Now I'm using HD-681 for tracking vocals. They are closed type and all vocalist are happy with them.

You can't go wrong with HD-681 B.

good value for money

For the price, it's absolutly excellent. After trying one I ordered 3 more. It gives excellent results combined with the ZOOM H2N

Great headphones!

Very low cost, very good sound.

It sound not bad that AKG k240 for my opinion.

Of course not so beautiful and comfortable as AKG, but sound very good.

May be not so beautifull

A very successful model for a very, very cheap.

Affordable Mixing & Mastering headphones is always good!!

Over the years I have had many sets of studio headphones. But until recently when I bought the Superlux HD-681 I really did not know what I was missing!

These headphones are superb, Extremely comfortable and there is little or no input leakage due to the well made pads surrounding the ears. The general make up of the headphones is strong and they feel very robust in comparison to other branded studio headphones I have owned. And best of all about the superlux range is the price! Very well priced and they even come with their own protection bag for keeping them safe when on the move or when not in use!

Very impressed 5 stars

Superlux HD-681 B

I was looking for a budget set of headphones to mix on for some projects for college. It was for the advance mixing portion of my degree. I was recommended these headphones by a classmate. I found them to be quite neutral and had a great level of dynamics through all of the frequency ranges. I found them to be quite truthful. I also found that in the low ranges they did not have an overly prominent bass response. I have used them when working 'on the go' with my laptop and at home in my studio. They were used on five projects for college ranging from Rock to Acoustic music and I feel they were more than adequate for the task. They have a sound build quality and also a screw on jack adapter. For the money all in all I would give them 5 out of 5
