Ive been using these in 6 years now

After 6 years of use, I am ready to write a review.

First off, these are durable! Theyve gone through a lot and moving from location to location.

These are outstanding headphones, wow! Im still in awe, the gaming experience is powerful! The music experience is intimate, and for all music and soundwise, its superior! For the price, there is no better product! I think these headphones outbid most of its competitors. I have been purchasing superlux products mainly because of its quality and durability, the price is a super bonus!

I bought mine in 13.12.2010, Im still a big fan and the headphones are always with me. Its sensitive enough to use it with cellphone or whatever musicplayer you must have, laptop etc. I use them for my studio and gaming. Very true, and close to flat dynamics, allthough a bit more on the bass side, that is hardly a bad bass, believe me, but its a nice fast responsive punchy bass, and not a roomey mushy bass.

Highly Recommended!!! 5 Stars++

Very good quality, low price

Been using these for over a year now and am very pleased about their sound quality.

They are open back, but this is not of any concern to me since i use them mostly in a quiet enviroment and from time to time when jamming with some friends which give the possibility to communicate without having to take (one side) them off.

My old sennheiser hd850 got little playing time since i purchased these.

Very detailed, might be a little bright for some people.

Would buy these again without any doubt.

I can't beleive this diamond costs 20 euro

The title says it all. Just a reminder: These headphones are obviously not mend for high quality mixing or for jams, since the sound is what you would get from normal headphones and it does not have insulation.

Best feature of the SUperlux HD-681:

It is the most comfortable headphones I have ever used in my life. Most comfortable from in-ears, from insulation ones, from everything.

Pros:

+ No sweaty ears

+ Automatic height adjust

+ Very comfortable

+ Does not tire you even after many hours

+ No pressure on head or ears

Cons:

- 0 insulation

- Not very loud

- Can't be used in jam session

Cheap and good

For the price these headphones are awesome. Normally you get what you paid for and cheap stuff is cheap for a reason but these are definitely the exception!

A minor critique would be that they do get a little unconfortable after several hours on the ears. The upper market ones are better in that area but this is perfectly ok for the price.

Great price-Very good sound!

I use these headphones from field recordings to small P.A. gigs... for 5 years and are still in great shape! Very cheap but very good quality!

They are a bit high frequency oriented.. (you might hear a little more the sibilance on your sound) but they have great bass and nice sound generally. They are comfortable and the cable is strong. I have mistreated them a lot and they still sound good with no interference or any problem. Best choice for low budget equipment.

for this price I believed I would get crap... And I got a great product.

Good for 30 minute rehearsals.

Used these headphones to jam silently with my band connected to a mixer.

Pros

Great sound for a reasonable price.

Good cable length

Good look

Cons

Sweaty ears after 30 minutes.

Adjusting the height is tricky.

Casque léger et confortable

Acheté pour pouvoir jouer sur une batterie électronique. câble suffisamment long pour pouvoir bougé sans s'en préoccupé. Entoure bien les oreilles et se règle automatiquement sur la tête. je l'utilise avec ma fille de 3 ans et il s'adapte à son crane et le mien sans problème.

livré avec un sac de transport et un embout a vissé pour passer d'un jack 3.5 à un jack 6.3 sans problème.

Pretty cool

If you are a studio engineer you will love this set of headphones.

Pros

They have a zero EQ and allowes you to listen every detail of music. I personally use this for my recordings. Nice sound, great feel, and unbreakable. Great for gamers also (you should try it with Oculus rift)

Cons

You have to hydrate the leather on these heaphones because after a duration of time (a couple of years or less), marbels of leather will start to fall apart.

Very powerful a clear sound. Good quality and pirce ratio. Comfortable to wear for several hours. Not largely isolate the external noise. Excellent choice rehearsal room and smaller events.

Unmatchable Price to Quality Ratio

I originally bought these headphones to use as monitoring headphones when creating tunes, but I found myself so attached to them that I now have them plugged into my computer 24/7 for all types of uses.

The crisp and clear quality of the sound, considering the low price point, is astounding. Although the headphones have a cheap-plastic look, the quality of the build has been impressive, as its been through a lot of wear but is yet to show signs of damage.

My only gripe with the Superlux HD-681 is on the comfort side of things. The faux leather pads that come with the headphones are tough on the ears and tend to cause soreness after prolonged use. Luckily they are replaceable, so I would definitely recommend looking into some velour pads to purchase with it.

Absolutely Amazing.

I bought these headphones because I need some cheap, reference headphones to test on mixes.

For £13 these headphones are ridiculously good. Better than my £60 Sennheisers.

I do not know how they have made such good headphones for this price, extremely crisp and deep.

Definitely recommended.

I have had these for about 6 months now. I bought them to go along with a guitar effects board for home practicing, not for serious monitoring.

I chose these simply for the price and good reviews and wasn?t disappointed.

I wasn?t expecting much - soundwise - from the price, just a good chuck around pair for my practice setup. But have found they actually produce a pretty balanced sound.

Sometimes the top end is a little bit too much, but nothing to complain about really.

They are for sure not the sexiest headphones out there, but to me that doesn't matter at all.

The connector and removable small to large jack seem (so far) pretty good and robust, no connection issues so far, and I haven?t been overly careful with them

The cord is nice and long, enough to play standing up (connected to floor pedal) with a little movement room.

So far comfy enough even on long sessions.

Honestly I have been impressed and surprised from the quality for the price, if they ever do pack in (with headphones it?s pretty inevitable) I will probably get another from superlux.

Only problem is now, my wife has discovered the removable large jack and has been hijacking them to watch movies on her laptop!

Best budget headphones on the market

I just can repeat what you can read all over the internet about these inexpensive headphones from china: It is the bang for the buck that you can make.

The Superlux headphones are not neutral but perfect for listening to music, play video games, watch movies or for example to use it with software instruments (i use them with guitar amp-software).

The ear pads are very comfortable but you easily can replace them with velours pads, so they become a little bit more pleasant to wear.

For mixing you have to more expensive headphones but as a beginner or just for fun, you have to buy it and see it for yourself.

Really good for the Money

I think that one is getting a lot of value here, they sound great and the build quality is also good, only minus is that they are a kind of small to my for my big head :D

I can recommended them to all..

Exceptional for the price!

Genius set of cans. I definitely recommend supplementing these with a pair of velour ear cushions for them though, as the original ones feel very cheap and don't isolate anyway. Cushions made for AKG K-240 fit with some force.

Plastic feels a bit cheap and squeaky. Owning a set of original AKG K-240 I can definitely tell this set of cans is the cheap copy, but it's really not that bad.

Sound gets a bit "warmer" when they've been burned in. A slight bit too much bass for my taste and the treble isn't quite as sparkly as I'd like, but for the price they're a smash hit and surpass most cans at even triple the price.
