Really good value for money.

You can't get anything better for same price range. It goes realively really well with low frequencies (I use it for bass guitar practicing). Plastic/rubber parts get a bit overworned after a few months. I recommend.

These are amazing

Forget the word budget here. For about EUR 20 this is brilliant. Sound is stunning and for my home studio recording vocals, guitar keys etc they are perfect.

After a while they feel a little warm and tight on the ears so only the smallest negative.

It's an easy decision though, just buy them.

Good value/quality

Great headphones. Work great for my home studio. Sound amazing. No reason to spend more money to get the more expensive stuff. They do the job great. Fit perfect on the head , sometimes i forgot i have them on. Recommended

Decent headphones at a decent price

These headphones are reasonably comfortable (they're a little hot, but then what would you expect with your ears encased in rubber cups!). They are adjustable to fit firmly on your head with slipping and without squeezing you brains out). They have a long cord and an adapter that enabes them to be used with either a "standard" headphone jack or a phono jack. They provide sufficient insulation that outside noise isn't a huge problem (unless it's really loud). The sound quality is nothing amazing - not hi-fi by any stretch - but I firmly believe that you get a better product if you record with something that sounds like what your audience will be listening through.

Overall, I recommend these. The price is reasonable and the quality is quite good.

Great Headphones

I bought these headphones because I needed a second pair. What surprised me was that they sound exactly like my three-times more expensive Samson SR850. The Superlux's sound was a little harsher but that's because they need to be worn in. In terms of sound reproduction of frequency response and volume, they are identical. Even the build is similar. What a steal at this price!

Good sound

Good sound, comes with a bag that is very durable. Also the Superlux is having a loang cable. Nice product for a good price.

Great value for the money.

You can feel the cheap price mainly on the build, but the sound is ok. I use them as a second pair of headphones to check my mixes. Keep in mind that they are open, so if you want to use them in public, they aren't your best choice.

Bought these based on reviews and have to say have not been disappointed.They are comfortable to wear for long periods and the sound is good for my uses,i.e. laptop and music.I am no headphone expert but for the price they are good to me.Thanks.

Bang for your buck

Bought these in 2012 and now, in 2019, they start to show degrading on the head band.

I've been using these constantly with my PC.

For the price the sound quality is excellent, durability is excellent and they are very, very confortable to use.

They feel little like cheap plastic, but does it matter? Plastic is lightweight. ;)

Incredible value for money

Never have I ever tested some studio headphones with an instrument before.

Most of the headphones I had in the previous years were gaming headphones and the last ones I bought were 5 times more expensive than this ones, but the sound quality of this for the price you pay it's just so good.

I bought this for a friend but I'm placing another order next month for me and this will absolutely be added to my cart, for 20¤ you will not find better than this (don't quote me on that one) for sure.

I'm not a big fan of those red stripes around them but that's totally personal preference, I would rather have them all in black.

These headphones sound really good and are very comfortable! For the price, i would say that they are the best choice you can buy..

I am using them with my Roland TD-25 drums. Really good headphones, covers my ears entirely so that no outside noise can get easily in. I was also surprised what good sound they have at this price range.

Best Headphones In That Price Range

Superlux HD 681 - They come with a pouch and a 6,3mm adapter to give You some options regarding connectivity.

BUILD;

Very lightweight plastic build with no metal parts but that is to be expected at that price point. Headband design is accually in a shape of human head and that makes them pretty comefortable to wear. Stock ear pads are quite hard and after prolonged use (in my case 2+ hours) earlobes can start to hurt a little.

SOUND;

These will give You super wide sound stage and produce bass really well with some punch to it. They dont block a lot of noise and leak quite a bit of sound.

Pros & Cons

+Low Price -Build Quality

+Wide Sound Stage -Poor Sound Isolation

+Lightweight

+Bass

Good for studio on a budget, gaming and everyday music listening.

Good value

Very nice headset with good sound quality for the price. Only lesser point: the cushioning feels a bit hard and hurts after an extended listening session.

I recommend though!

It's a steal

I need a cheap but effective pair of monitoring headphones for mixing my synths and that's what I got.

The sound is clear, fine for monitoring.

The closed-ear design does stop noise from bleeding out but it makes it uncomfortable to wear after a few hours.

The jack has also started to go after a good few months of use and I don't doubt that it'll break soon.

Ah, but let's face it, they're very affordable.

I'm happy with what I got for what I spent.
