Superlux HD-681 Evo WH

Got these headphones for home use, so I could hear some music when working AND play the guitar at night. They are big nice sounding comfortable headphones.

Sound is clear and defined, with good definition at low volumes, probably due to the large speaker (for headphones, I mean). I don't like loud volumes, so these work well. Also, the sound is quite linear, so there are no bass boosts nor things alike.

The original package comes with a 2 different length connection cables, replacement ear foams and a nice bag to pack everything in. Feels luxury at the price of nothing.

Design wise, being white is also a bonus for me. I'm kind of tired of the always black hardware.

Original foams are lasting more than most headphones I've had so far. Many reveal wear signs due to the contact with my beard. These so far have not suffer from that problem.

The BIG problem with these headphones is the materials used, more so, the cables used. Extra thin and easily breakable. I lost count to the number of times I had to open their casket to re-solder or replace original wires, which is a shame for an otherwise good product. Because of this I rate these headphones as UNRELIABLE and UNTRUSTWORTHY.

They could have done this pack with better cables and less goodies for a better overall product at the same production cost. It's a shame, really is.

...i mean, for its pricetag, i was surprised on how good these are. Very beefy and balanced mids, and wide highs. Lacks a bit on the bass, but whatever it has its tight.

Build quality is what you might expect, and then some more. Overall, seems sturdy enough.

They are a bit hard on your head in terms of confort, but so so much better then anything you can get for this price. Very light, due to mainly plastic materials, and look modern and nice.

If im rating quality devided by price, this is an A plus.

What can I say? They're a sub-?30 pair of Superlux headphones.

Having tried the old HD-681s which were an amazing pair for the price, I can say that the Evos are that and bucket-loads more!

I was pleasantly surprised upon opening the packaging to find two cables; a short one, perfect for use with a portable device and a longer one, perfect for use with, well, anything that's a little further away. The headphones themselves have a male 3.5mm jack on a short cable extending from the left ear cup. This allows you to replace the cable with any after-market cable should you so desire. As both cables are female on one end, they can be combined to create what is possibly the longest cable I've ever seen on a pair of headphones out of the box!
Also included is a small clip which helps ensure that the attached cable does not come lose, but use without it was not an issue in the slightest.
A 1.4 inch jack is thrown in for good measure along with a second pair of pads made form a soft, breathable fabric which is extremely comfortable and is great for longer wearing sessions.

If you've owned or read/watched/heard reviews of the old 681s, you'll have heard many say that they had quite sharp and fatiguing treble. A common fix was to place a cotton pad in the ear-cup to act as a sort of filter. This has be addressed in the Evos and adds even more to their great sound. I primarily use these for light gaming at times when I'm not at liberty to use my surround setup and as such, the semi-open build lends itself quite well to my needs.
The sound-stage is excellent without sacrificing isolation and without having to fork out a few hundred euros for a much higher end pair of cans. On top of that, the detail throughout the spectrum is great, with clean highs, warm and 'full' sounding mids and deep, mud-free bass.

Overall, these headphones are hands-down the best pair I've yet to use in this price range and are a must have if you're looking for a great value pair to add to your collection, or maybe to start it!
