Superlux HD-661 White

Sounds transparent, very classy and good-looking as a girl's gift

Bought them for a friend's birthday; she tried them, and her father tried them, they were impressed. She's often wearing earbuds at home, and she listens to TV with headphones, so she's happy to have these. She started wearing them and listening to her smartphone right away, with the shorter cable, no extra loops that get in the way. We talked to her but she barely noticed because outside sounds is very well kept out. My friend's daughter di...

Had a smile and enjoyed her music I didn't wear them cause I didn't want to spoil her gift, but I held them 5cm away from my ears, and compared with my old basic Sennheiser HD-202 held at 5cm. The Superlux has more power and clarity, and a more transparent tone. I like the aesthetics, the white color is classy, and more feminine as a girl's piece of outfit. The S-curve between the headband and the driver housings make the thing flush with the head, looks better than those making a large curve around the skull for my taste. Anyway, since it was for a teen girl I had to pay attention to the looks, and the light weight. I also like the thick tough rubber wrapping the wires; iPod cables and phone earbuds cables look so flimsy, never trusted their resistance to an accidental pull. But this cable is solid. I lke the cans a lot so I ordered the grey version for myself, will review them in a few days.Show Less

Fantastic cans for the money

I own several pairs of Superlux headphones and I rate these best for studio work as they seem to have a flatter response than the others, the HD681 being the other pair I use but they have a heavier bass response IMO (great headphones though). Really comfortable (I have a small head so sometimes struggle getting headphones to fit), although this is no adjustment as they use 2pads on the headband to self adjust to the wearer. Impressive respon... Show Morese and a good fast sound for headphones, not muddy in any way. If you want more bottom/bass then I would suggest other model mentioned above, but then that's moving into hifi territory IMO. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they are supplied with 2 cable lengths making it great if you were using them with a mobile device of wireless as often a long cable in those situations could be troublesome. The headphones have a very short piece of cable with a stereo 3.5mm jack on it to connect the 2 cable lengths and if you want to you could combine the 2 for an extra long cable. Supplied with a 3.5mm to 6.35mm (1/4") adapter and a bag. Pros: everything! Cons: perhaps a little flat for hifi useShow Less

I've given these a 4 star review on all aspects, mostly because you get what you paid for. Cheap recording headphones so comfort and the build quality aren't perfect.. I used these for most of my recording so far and have never let me down. That being said, I've been using them in conjunction with speakers and different headphones to make sure my mixes were good. When listening to music with them on, the quality is amazing and I have no issues ... Show Morethere but when you're trying to mix with them, you should not use them as your main listening point as I've found there's a slight treble boost already in them so when you're mixing you might think everything sounds great and realize on different headphones that your mix sounds duller. Other than that, I definitely recommend them in use with other headphones/speakers.Show Less

Comfort, colour & good isolation on a budget

Superlux headphones often get varying reviews, some enthusiastic some bashing them, the truth for these (as for many things in life) is somewhere down the middle: -remarkably stylish and choice of colours is a welcome bonus of liveliness for studio gadgetry, -sit on your head with a pleasingly soft but surprisingly firm hug, -isolate at least as well as some headphones costing 10x more, -come with a nice pouch and a choice of 2 cables, ... Show More-only marginally let down by the sound - a bit pointy in the high midrange, a bit hollow in the low mids. So not for mixing, but more than decent for tracking & other generic use where headphone onitoring that won't break the bank is required.Show Less

Great sound

Sounds great! Are not 100% comfortable but you get used to them quickly (I think are a little bit too tight). I recommend them for gaming too.
