Superlux HD681 Headphones

Product Information

For musics, so far all genre is good to go, and with amp and tuning equalizer the result will be more impressive. I'm just a normal home user who enjoy music but not in professional way so it is consider extra good for me except the wire is a bit too long for me (which i dont need too long). So i coil it and I think it is not a very big deal with it. In terms of portability, HD681 is not very suitable for mobility use as it looks too much adopted in studio monitor (the design is cool wearing in indoor) and big size. Superlux HD681 size and Superlux HD681 fit. Superlux HD681 Superlux HD681 Superlux HD681 Superlux HD681 Superlux HD681 By the way, how much would those velour pads for 681/668 cost me? I saw some from AKG original headphones but those were like 17€ or so, basically for the price of the headphones. The response equalization of the Superlux HD681 was impeccable with perfect fine tuning of their mids, empowering of their bass and either taming of their highs peaks or sparkling even more their brightness and detail. The bass is kinda just a bit stronger than my preferred but can be tuned down just a bit. But for sure, entire bass frequency area is really amazing~ Is tight too~

Lost my AKG K403, my very first HD headphone (to me). Very low on budget, found this, bought it, waited for a near month, worth the wait. (was aiming for portability but... this price is so really pushes me to this) I'm running them out of my Dell Inspiron 530 desktop (Core 2 Quad) with a Behringer UCA222 in the signal path. The files are all WAV or FLAC.Of course, since I have the B version, that's voiced like a K240, I have the "Balanced" version. Nothing balanced about the highs though... The aesthetic similarities are probably intentional here which, combined with the solid reputation of the manufacturer behind them, puts the HD681 in good stead with an expectation of quality. Certainly, first impressions are pretty strong. The Design

Superlux HD681, an insanely affordable over-ear headphone with a semi-open design and a prosperous fame. The Superlux HD681 are incredible headphones that can be use by serious musician as well as audiophile on budget that want a realistic and analytical headphones. They outperform way pricier headphones and are extremely comfortable for long listening. If you want a little more bass you can try the HD681B wich have a little more but are even more hard to drive. Superlux really impress me with their budget friendly headphones and earphones that have a real hifi sound and really deserve the admiration they already have.

Often compared with Superlux HD681

heikoimman lenkin muodostaa kuulokkeiden diskanttitoisto. Se on etäinen ja turhan vaimea verrattuna keskialueeseen. Tämä rokottaa pahasti kuulokkeiden tilantoistokykyä ja resoluution tuntua etenkin rumpupeltien taajuuksilla. Se ei tee kuulokkeista missään nimessä kuuntelukelvottomia, mutta muistuttaa olemassaolollaan (tai sen puutteella) mistä maksamme kalliimmissa kuulokkeissa. Toisto hieman piristyy poistamalla vaahtomuovin alta löytyvät Acoustic Damper -tarrat, joiden on tarkoitus hillitä diskanttitoistoa. Tämä toisaalta myös paljastaa diskantin pistävän ja räikeän luonteen, eikä valitettavasti lisää erottelun tuntua.

Tight fit but not in the assumption of having your head sandwiched hard. But that tightness boosts the hotty and sweaty feel... Will try to loose it. The build quality is great. The plastic feels solid and the headband is made of metal all the way through so you can bend it as much as you want to adjust the clamp.

What We Like

If you can live with that and can EQ them to your taste, they'll probably make a better choice for your music. The sound itself is wrapped on top of a big hearted bass. The bottom end is ramped up, very similar to the HD681 of old. However, the treble is less edgy so the headphone seems warmer and more bass focused. However, there is also a peak in the treble giving the top end a nice 'bite.' The treble is the only area I took found an issue with when it came to sound. The treble definitely had some kind of bright spike to it. It brought up some unusual high frequency artifacts in some songs. Still, with a little EQ work, the piercing brightness faded. 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.
