Rea value for money

For me persoanlly, these headphones represent truly fantastic value for money. Yes, I know you can pay up to hundreds of pounds/euros etc for other makes, but if you don't buy just on brand name & for my basic home recording (Music) these are excellent and are very 'fit for purpose'

Very good for the price

At first I thought it would have been a bit more uncomfortable but right now I can wear them for hours. The sounds quality is good.

Top quality for the price!

Well worth the price tag. Sound quality is amazing. They are very snug & don't feel too tight. I have definitely had more comfortable headphones but you can always buy better ear pads. The Material does feel a bit cheap but for this price what do you expect. You really can't go wrong with these for the price. (I bought them for £17.30, £25 with delivery!)

Great for the price

Ordered 3 pairs of these headphones for a band recording session. The players couldn't believe the price I paid for these. The sound quality is decent but great for the price. The comfort is good, amazing for the price. If you are on a budget and need a few pairs for the studio, look no further.

Crisp sound and very comfortable. They're so light you forget you're wearing them.

Best In Class

The Superlux HD-681 is a great pair of headphones that really put to shame many other headphones that I have used which cost far more money.

While external noise reduction is not the focus on these, they are absolutely perfect for mixing/recording at home or on the go. As I primarily mix on Yamaha HS5s, I found this pair of headphones to offer me a fairly similar response in regards to its tone (albeit mixing on speakers is very different than mixing on headphones).

I stopped using my Sennheiser headphones (which cost me almost £100) after using these, as I thought the Superlux sounded "flatter" and felt nicer on my head after a few hours.

Give them a go , as you might find yourself buying Superlux HD-681s for the whole band!

Not exactly Pro standards, but superb for music and gaming on a budget!

I bought these to listen to music and for playing PC games after reading online recommendations. I have them connected to a Monolith Liquid Spark headphone amp connected to my PC's onboard DAC line out.

My main decision was based on sound quality, imaging and price. I liked the noted sound signature listed on the Superlux website and from reviews I've read. I have to say I'm actually blown away with how they sound! These have a nicer sound signature than my old Sennheiser HD580s. Yes they are cheaply built, but look how much they cost. I'm sure if you look after them and treat them with respect they will last long enough. My biggest complaint is the clamping force and thin earpads. Very uncomfortable, I've ordered thicker velour pads from China to compensate.

Pros: Spacious sound with good clarity, depth and punch making them ideal for gaming. Gorgeously musical. Ridiculous price.

Cons: Treble forward. Not going to compete with high end headphones (but snapping at the heels of phones costing 5-10x as much). Clamping force is probably the worst I've encountered. Build quality fits what you pay for...cheap.

MY every day friends

I use it for every day listening on my computer.

Sometimes as monitor when i play my Roland Drums or my son when he play piano.

I have few more known brands that were higher priced, but they are not as good as this one. You get a lot! I have 3 different Superlux headphones models, but for the money those are great.

For something better you will have to pay a lot more. For me those are great and i think that you can't go wrong with them.

Great headphones!

Was very pleased with the quality! Deep bass, great frequency range. Very comfortable. Ordered another pair for my friend and will order more when necessary.

Would recommend this item! Dependless on the price - the headphones are very good.

Amazing Value Pro Headphones

Sure, these are not Beyer 880's or Sennheiser 600's but they're not far off and a fraction of the cost. For studio monitoring the 681's offer unbeatable value and excellent sonics, pretty much fulfilling any engineer's needs. Perhaps for your 'golden ears' mastering gurus and the most critical listening purposes the tailored frequency response of these cans may fall a little short, but for everyone else they offer all you need - they're really lightweight, very comfortable and the semi-open design is right on the money. In fact the only difficulty with these headphones is whether to buy the straight 681 or one of the other variants!

This headphones sound incredible for its price. For less than 20€ I don't believe you can find any headphones with better quality.

I use them to mix and to hear my recordings and for now I'm very very happy!

The only con is that they look like they are a little fragile. But I'm usually very careful so it doesn't seem to be a problem for me.

The best

Ordered them per 2 for my studio. Very comfortable and an enormous good sound. The best at a ridiculous price ! 5 years ago one of them damaged an instantly again ordered 2. Still no regrets what so ever

Good headphones for a great price

I ordered them blindly going by reviews on this website. The only con IMO is that they stop being comfy if you wear them for extended period of hours. I use them to practice my bass guitar and for listening to music, and they work well in that regard. For this price, i'd definitely recommend them!

Great Quality For Low Price

These have been my favorite headphones for 4+ years. Love the balance on them and can't beat the price.

Great choice

Not expensive, great clean sound, the additional Jack is super handy. The fact you can pack them in the bag is even more awesome.

Rarely - a few stiches on the other side tend to move a bit but it's mostly because of the 'wear and tear' taken with the amount how much I use them. But still they don't lose comfort.

For the price and the product that you recieve - definitly worth it

I was very surprised

I was very surprised by the quality of the sound and comfort. Some much more expensive headphones are of much lower quality than these. For every recommendation
