Superlux HD681 Headphones

Product Information

These kind of headphones are usually more comfortable than headphones which just sit on top of your ears, and, since these are studio headphones, they need to be comfortable for somewhat long periods of time. Even on tracks such as The Black Keys Tighten Up , which is notorious for having the bass a bit high in the mix, the vocals and guitars aren’t drowned out. Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and – if possible – your e-mail address for further questions. Build– evaluates how well the headphones are put together, the materials used and indicates the expected longevity. For exemple, if you listening to an old vinyl recording the background hiss will be too fowards and perhaps spoil the clarity of instrumentation.

Bass isn't very round and heavy, even if it dig deep and low it isn't the type of bass we feel, tough with a powerfull amp it come to life and have more weight, this headphones will not be appropriate for IDM or rap because of the airyness presentation of the soundspectrum. I am patiently waiting the arrival of a set of these which I purchased online on Wednesday and I have great expectations. Regarding the EQ, I have no idea how to do this correctly, I watched a video and the guy said that from 3-7kHz, it should be lowered by -10dB?The overall build quality feels a bit cheap, but since these are desktop headphones the only damage that should occur is due to carelessness. With Superlux products, private users can achieve solid recording and mixing results even without a large budget. The HD681 possesses a V Shaped sound with some emphasis on the lower and mid bass, alongside a high-end that might be too sharp for some. So when working with HD 681 and the model average calibration, keep in mind that bass and treble may not translate as well.

They clamp a lot and the earpads are made of a cheap, sticky, hard, pleather that peel off of your skin. It may remind you of value headphone (the AKG k240) but before you label it some cheap knockoff, take some time to give it a listen.

We take a listen and see if that new design still offers the excellent sound quality of its predecessor. The excessive treble might also make some bad recordings show all of their flaws, such as noise on old records or low quality (bit-rate wise) ones. I say this because while these headphones have a pretty good sound signature, it is hidden under the excessive treble.
