TL;DR... Review Title. These headphones are very hot, the sibilance sometimes might 'hurt' your ears because it has like a very high peak not sure at which frequency but some S and cymbal sounds are just piercing if they fixed that hot peak these would be extremely impressive for the money. They are not as controlled so if you are looking for extremely high fidelity these might not be your best bet, but i would easily say that around twice the price or even 3-4 times the price (considering they can cost aroud 25 bucks) you will hardly find anything better, heck they might even make you rethink about how much you actually like more expensive headphones you might have in your collection. The only thing, [[besides that hot treble peak and maaaaaybe veeeeery slightly cardboardy sounding but very unveily and clear mids (bass i think is just about right for open back headphones)]], that i would be afraid about when using these could be build quality since i just got them so i don't know for how long these will last, but for the price even if they last 1-2 years i would feel they already did some very good service. Hopefully they will last even longer than that. If you have 25-30 to spare and you want to try another set of headphones i would easily tell you to just go for these and experience what they have to offer, i believe they could easily fit into any headphone collector's repertoire even if at the very least as a curiosity, the curious case of cheap but satisfying/fun sounding headphones. Comfort i believe to be a strong feature as well, very lightweight, nice 'clamp' strength, relatively easy exchangable earpads and potentially cheap as well, there are even some modding examples (you don't even need to dig hard to find them). They could have used some detachable cables but there's even a mod for that out there. It includes the 2 most common plugs for portable devices and for amps and a funny pouch that just kinda feels like it adds value to the whole thing even if cheaply made. I WILL be using these MORE (probably WAY MORE) than i thought before getting them (one pair for the office, one pair for home sort of thing with some other model being for home). I don't add pictures to this review cause everybody knows what they look like.Read full review

Pros - Good accessories. Good price. Great sub-bass. Good sound for price. Cons - These headphones are not exactly 'over-ear' headphones because they really sit on your ear, and are to small to be true over ear headphones, they are still decently comfortable though. Bass is a little more pronounced than mids or highs. Not really open headphones either, these are at best semi-open, leaning more towards closed, but you can still hear outside noises. They don't have a huge sound stage.

Clear bass, not a boosted muddy sounding mess like and overpriced brand that rhymes with "eats". Mid range also clear and sounds good. Treble a little bright but good. Well worth the price. Even at a higher price these would still be worth buying. Feels sturdy and comfortable. I would buy these again.

Really great headphones. Light. Comfortable. Excellent audio performance. Deep rich, but not bloated, bass. Crisp mid range and treble. Well balanced sound over the whole spectrum. Get a set of really comfy soft ear pads and you have it made in the shade. Get the pads where the photo shows a guy squishing the thick, yet very soft pads. I like these cans more than ATH50x, ATH40, and lots of other headphones costing three to five times as much. Super value for the price. TT

I bought my HD 661s for $25.00 shipped. I feel like I stole them !! Really? I only paid $25.00 for them? These headphones are easily worth twice that. COMFORT: 4 out of 5 stars These are very, very lightweight headphones. Clamping force is just right. Not too tight, not too loose. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars for comfort is that the ear cushions are also made of vinyl. Vinyl ear cushions always make my ears sweat and these are no exception. I wish they would have made the ear cushions out of velour material. If they had, I would have given them 5 stars for comfort. SOUND QUALITY 4.5 out of 5 stars Sound quality is very good. To my ears, these are almost as well balanced as my Sony MDR-V6s (THE industry standard for studio monitor headphones). I can't believe I just said that !! The Sony MDR-V6s (and the MDR-7506s) are world renowned for their accurate, neutral sound reproduction. The Superlux HD 681s are very, very close to to the MDR-V6s in sound quality. Very, very pleased with the sound quality from the HD 681s. Everything pretty much in balance. Bass, mids and treble all arrives just in time with very little over run or bleeding. If I had to fault them in one spectrum, it would be in the lows. On heavy bass tracks and at high volumes, the lower end of the spectrum can get a bit muddy and congested. Overall, I would rate them a 4.25 out of 5 stars. Hell, since I only paid $25.00 for them, I'll go ahead and round them up to a 5 out of 5 stars.Read full review
